Miss Virginia Harden told a story, “Boarders Wanted,’^ which was de livered exceptiojially well. Miss Han nah Newman gave a reading. “Moth er’s Day,” which portrayed the picture of a mother in her usually busy pro gram foi^ the day. Miss Mildred Mc Pherson gave a very interesting ac count of the latest current events.

PMlologian Eight new Pliis broke into the lime light last Thursday evening in a pro gram prepared exclusively for them. In other words, each number on the prograju was rendered by a Phi who has entered the society this semester. Ordinarily, since all speakers were new men one might get the impression that the program as a whole was not of exceptional calibre; but such an idea would be wholly erroneous, and that fact is another proof of the splen did material that has entered the ranks of the Phis. A glance at the speakers and tlieir subjects will convince any one, how.ever, skeptical, that these new members are in earnest, and those who have seen them in action know they can “deliver the goods. G. P. Vickers gave a comical’ reading that was excellently interpreted. A. P. Lewis then spoke with much fervor and logic on “Is college wo'rth four years of your time?” He showed why it is and, in some cases, why it isn’t. P. S. Baynes then explained the where fore and why of “The Blue of the Sky;” and E. M. Chandler’s “Humor” was well enjoyed. S. E. Madren spoke on “Ifs” and their significance in every day life.
