Tt will certainly arouse the natives--and our alumni members. .i.. 1 Our course of study for the first term ofthe year embra.ces a study of the va- rious governments of the World. We have had debates on the following resolutions: That the le islative department of - ' , g the Swiss government better accomplishes the purposes of a republic than does that of thc United States. words will followf That the executive department of the German Empire is to- be preferred to that of France, England or the United States. That trial by jury should be abolished. The speakers are co-mpelled to do re- search work, and are doing it. Hurrah for our president! He is prov- ing a good one. Cary and Stivers, both lovers in the Christmas play, are practicing the art of pleading to fair da.msels. But they vvill learn, too, to throvv themselves upon the mercy of the court. Four Debaters are on The H emlcl staff of 1906-'7. Here 's to our Babies: May they di- minish their Kriidiculousv bump. Paul Jones creates stage fright by falling 'down stairs on the day of his programme. We have a knee-trouser brigade. Don't hitch up so high, boys, when on duty.

The first meeting of the Clionian Society for the year was held October nineteenth. All the members present seemed 'determined to make this the best year of their history. This same spirit has been evident in all the subsequent meetings. Last year's graduating class containel a number of efficient Workers, whom we were sorry to lose, but others are meeting the responsibilities in true Olionian spirit. We count ourselves especially fortu- nate in ,having as our adviser, Mr. Shouse, who does not come to us as a stranger, having served in the same capacity, four years ago. We have made a special effort this year to follow out the purpose for which the society was organized-i. e., to devel- op each member7s talents and to furn-is-li a useful literary education. Miss Brainerd has filled the office of president with great dignity, although some of the boys smiled when a girl was elected. They seemed to think they had a monopoly on the prcsidentps chain' - A feature of the next term s Work will be debates between the boys and girls. Miss De Witt, , Of English Lit, j Gave it consequence, And, forsooth, That proof Of its excellence. Several visitors were present at our Thanksgiving meeting, when We had a very interesting programme. 1 The last half consisted of the farce, Aunt Susan Jones. The part of Aunt- Susan was rendered extremely laughable by the clever acting of Miss Alma Cutter. .,-,L .., ....v.,..........,.,....f,.-...v w-:2v..nN:+a+d.a.4.:a..g....a.a.a.:.-.4-.-e..----a.,...,.,,.--: ,WL ...A..-- ... ....,..-.....-4- 4 a..

Mr. Paul Stivers, the vice-pres- ident, is very prominent in the society work, an-d aside from his part in the Christmas play, has entertained the club in various ways at the regular meetings. The Programme Committee has ar- ranged very enjoyable and interesting pro- grammes, and in the acco-mplishment of its plans has been loyally supported by members. On the occasion of the Halloweien meeting the club was visited by a veiled prophet who read th-e fortunes of prom- inent members. Who could have forseen that such a fate as this awaits this small member? V Here is a dreadful sight, ' It makes my blood run cold: For here is Edwin Ellis, An awful pirate bold. He stands full seven feet in height, And in between his teeth, His trusty blade of ten-inch steel, Which never sees its sheath. The tales that captives tell of him Are terrible to hear, And so I warn you to beware: Avoid this buccaneer! ......li-. 'Several farces have been given which were far above the' average amateur per- formances, and we have not had to de- pend upon outside autho-rship for the plays, as we have a playwright o-f no small ability in our own numbers. Miss Cath- erine W are gave ay sketch of her own au- thorship, entitled: MA Scene in the Ed- iting Room of the Round Table Center- piece? Miss Ware herself impersonate-d the Editor-in-Chief, in a. lively and -inter- esting manner, while Mr. Snodgrass as- sumed the dignity of Literary Editor, and May Mott took the pa.rt of Society Ed- itor. Mr. Hohman showed his ability in the melodramatic line, and Mr. Alexander gave some witty take-offs on prominent members. Miss Snodgrass, accompanied by the beloved 'CTeddy, gave a veryef- fective, though sentimental poem, and Miss Merrill was very realistic in her sym- pathy for cats. The Round Table Club is well rep- resented in the Christmas Play. The fol- lowing members have been chosen in the cast: Miss Nanna Clagett, Miss Jeanette Stickle, Miss Leda Craven, Mr. Leslie Hohman, Mr. Paul Stivers, and Mr. Mar- vin Cary, all of whom are capable of ex- cellent work, and will undoubtedly .do credit to the club as well as to themselves. The club greatly appreciates the in- terest which Miss Nar-din, our adviser, has taken in the society, and wishes to 'thank her for her excellent advice and aid. The society is very proud of .the ar- tistic and 'attractive posters which have advertised our programmes. Miss Baily has made them varied in design and they have been excellent in execution.

Combined with this, there will be, at alternate meetings, a discuS- sion of current topics. ---M --- . -.. , -,-. - .,.-..- f-: .. -Q J..!,m-L-U-S
