erection of five additional residences here

others in courses of construction, there is

sweet little Italian waif was beautifully
represented in the person of Thelma (. ly-
mer.
The best impersonations were those of
Thelma Clymer and Annie Laurie Wicker.
The play which as a whole was a bril
liant success and full of excitement and
bright sayings was but one niore evidence
of the etliciency of the Ex])ression depart
ment, as many of the caste are jmvate
student.s in this department and all were
under the direction of Miss Ethel Cle
ments, who is in charge of same. She
was ably assisted both in selecting the
characters and in staging the play by Miss
Enla Long, directress of the Art Depart
ment.
We hope soon to bear from these good
ladies again.

orchestra, assisted by C.apt. Speeher and

thorough organization oT the student body
in all its various phases. In fact. Col
lege life cannot be carried on without
such. These organizations control the dif
ferent activities that make College life the
charming thing that it is. Literary So
cieties, Athletics, Religious Organizations,
Student Self-Government, all moved by
the chosen leaders of their fellow-students,
mold the life of the College and deter-
“Yes,” mused the thoughtful thinker,
“it’s a sure sign.”
“What’s a sure sign?” was asked.
“That when a young man begins to
k1now that he doesn’t know as much as
he thinks he knows, then he begins to
know, something.”
