PHI LOM ATH1 AN NOTES
To seriously impress the new stu
dents and devoutly renew faith with
the old society is, in a word, are
ultimate aim of any literary society
on the occasion of its first program
of the new school year. As such
was the program of the Philomath-
ian given on the memorable nit of
September 1). The occision will doubt
less prove memorbale though the
dote may become extinct. It_ was
then that the undefinable spirit of
the society was felt and renewed.
Mr. Cooke, established dignatarian
of the assembly, rendered well Kip
ling’s “If”. Many remarked upon
the auspicious rendering of the selec-
Mr. Long was agreeably profuse
in his oratory, using as the title
of his production, “A Resolute Pur
pose.”
The debate brought from the crowd
many guffpws, all of which were de-
ssrvGcl. *
Messrs. Loughran, Bradley, Miller,
and Baker participated in the foren
sic. The judges decided in a brief
time that the negative had triuph-
ed. . , ,
Mr. Osenburg gave his declama
tion with great force and magne
tism. His delivery of a poem in
the declamr^tion won for him U)
loud applause at the conclu.sion of
the number.
The other numbers of the program
helped to make the initial meeting
a success.
The success of the evening was
proven by the warm glow of spirit
among the members, and by the
uniting with the society of ten new
students.
A throbbing tune played in soft
notes upon the heart of every Bhilo-
mathian, the old walls stand, ever
ready to .welcome to the revered
sh- dow of the society her own. Her
own have returned to clasp to their
memories the burning reminiscences
of other days, and to breathe into
the old structure a consuming fire
of their own loyalty, keeping alive
the veiled and hazy mystery of all
her subtle power.
Springing from the unfaltering
-search of goals, “lodged high in the
glittering mountains of ambition,”
the idealism of youth fights to gain
the world with its treasure. To the
throbbing note of loyalty to the old
society and to the siren call of a
stern idealism her sons gather in
silent but profound praise at her
feet.
The greater dream of our society
will be attained, we feel, by intel
lectual curiosity, a firm idealism, and
an insatiable earne.stness of purpo.se.

S. S. OPENS STRONG
(Continued from Page 1)
“M” CLUB ON THE
JOB
-students have not enlisted in the
classes. They must be gone after
and brought in. Here allow the
words of a little choru.s to bring an
individual appeal:
If you’ll win the one next to you
And I’ll win the one next to me,
In all kinds of weather,
We’ll all work together
To see what can be done.
If you’d win the one next to you
And I’d win the one next to me.
In no time at all
We’d have them all.
Then, win them one by one!
The officers urge those who have not
yet enlisted in the Sunday School
work to do so at once. They make
the appeal: “We need you. There
is a i>lace for each. Some one else
might fill that place, but you alone
are worthy of the responsibilitie.s in
the performance of your duty in
that place. Great plans are being-
made for this year’s battle. Come,
find your place, fall into the front
lines, and help our dreams to mater
ialize into glorious realities. We
need you; you need the Sunday
School.”
This year’s officers are: W. L.
Parker, president, M. V. Parish, vice
president, Maud Ashworth, secretary.
Of the members of the “M'' Club
only Baber, Glasgow, Dockery, Bak
er, Iserberg, Furches, Suggs, Honey
cutt, Rumpfeldt, Carter, Travis, and
Johnson have returned. During last
year members of this club held
■many offices of prominence.
These men have returned with the
determination to stand by their col
lege and club. The object of the
club which is in every member’s
heart is as follows: (1) To en
courage clean sportsmanship and
clean living among its members, (2)
To create a college spirit toword
supporting the athletic teams of
this campus and (3) To aid in pro
moting all forms of inter-scholastic
athletic activities that may come un
der the jurisdiction of Mars Hill
College.
The membership of this club is
composed only of those men who
have made a letter “M” in some
form of athletics during their stay
at Mars Hill College.
Only a roughneck can play foot
ball is the sentiment which the
“M” ,^iub is fighting. -Athletes
are watched closer than any other
group of students on the campus.
Every slip of an athlete is pointed
out by an “I told you so.”
Members of the club will show
their loyalty to the college by going
to their proper places both Sunday
morning- and during the week.
Members of the “M” club promise
clean, hard athletic contests, gen
tlemanly conduct on the campus,
and records that will match any
other group in the college.

Euthaliaiis Present
Opening- Program
On Friday night. Sept. 9, the
Euthalian Literary Society present
ed its opening program of the year.
Many of the new students had gath
ered in the hall along with the old
members when the president, ]Mr. C.
H. Sullivan, called the society to
order.
After an opening song by the au
dience and devotional exercises by
the chaplain, Mr. C. W. Roper gave
an oration as the opening number
on the program. Following this Mr.
D. E, Poole, a former Euthalian,
sang a solo accompanied by Mrs.
G. C. Cox. As the next number on
the program Mr. 0. J. Murphy ren
dered very effectively three short
poems.
-At this point the president sprang
a little surprise by calling on Mr.
J. Glenn Traws for an impromptu
speech, giving the subject, “The
Area of a Man.” Mr. Travis took
the floor and discussed the subject
in a very creditable manner. The
surprise was continued when Mr. C.
C. Parker was also called on for an
impromptu speech. His topic was
“Labor Unions,” and he made an
excellent speech in favor of the
unions. “All professional men are
organized,’ ’says Mr. Parker, ‘so
why shouldn’t the working classes
of people be organized in order to
demand what they want?”
Next on the program was a dec
lamation by Mr. C. H. Patrick fol
lowed by a selection by Mr. R. A.
Wall.
Comics were given by Mr. Moody
Henderson.
At this time the visitors were
recognized. Several former Eutha-
lians were present, and each one
had an encouraging word for the
society.
Mr. Sullivan closed the program
very impressively by explaining- the
word “Euthalian.” A cordial invi
tation was extended the rdsitors tr
return at any time they desired.
HUMORISMS
Mrs. Naggs: “Now, George, are
you quite sure everything’s shut up

George: “All that I cg^n shut up
is, my dear!”
-A pretty girl, and two men,
Brown and Robinson, wore walking
on a country road.
Suddenly a severe thunder storm
came on and Brown remarked that
he was frightened.
“What are you afraid of?” Rob
inson answered, contemptuou.sly,
“I’m as cool as can be.”
“Why, of course!” answered
Brown. “If I were alone, I should
be the same, but I’m afraid of
Miss Jones in this lightning. You
see, she’s so attractive!”
Robinson is stil a bachelor.
James Greene: “Say, Smith, did
you know the booger-man was

Raymond Long: “Charlton, you’ro
my friend, will you please tell me
what it is?”
Sullivan: “Just chose the other
boys away.”
Raymond Long: “I wonder why
that girl looks at me all the time?”
Bui-t Johnson: “Something is
wrong with her eyes and the doc

green.”
Tate Andrews: “Are you thinking
of me, dearest?”
Mary Anthony: “Pardon me, was
I laughing?”
Miss Kelly told Herman Wells to-
take as much of the powders as he
could get on a dime. The next
day he was very, very sick. When
asked about it, he said he didn’t
have a dime, but took as much as
he could get on two nickels.
Herman Wells approached Mrs.
Biggers on Spillman porch.
Mrs. Biggers: Something for you,
Mr. Wells?”
Wells: “Y-y-y-es, mam.”
Mrs. Biggers: “What is it?”
Wells: “I-I want a date.”
Miss Pierce: “Why are you late
again today for English, didn’t you
start soon enough?”

didn’t come fast enough after 1
started.”

Drawn from artisan wells.
And negroes plunge beneath
flood
To lose their native smells.”
