The Winona president, Carrie Anderson, was in the chair and the Reliance secretary, Robert Johnson, was at the recorder’s desk. Adjournment was followed by one more cheer from Reliance and the joint-session of 1923 was over. Excelsior The Excelsiors held their regular meeting in the laboratory last Friday evening. After the roll was called, a short but well-prepared program was render ed as follows: Song . . . . . . M em bers S p rin g board . . . . Jam es B rooks S p rin g fever . . . . .

NO TES East Sunday evening a joint meeting of the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A., Climbers’ Club and E. E. E. chap ter, was held in the Auditorium, to listen to an address by Rev. Mr. Eaughridge, who has lived for many years in India. This came as a fitting close to the mission study course on India, and a large crowd of students greatly enjoyed the splendid talk by Mr. Eaughridge. Wallace Morgan presided at the meeting, and John Dexter played a beautiful violin solo. On Easter day fifty of the students united with the Protestant Church at Chemawa, at a very delightful service conducted by Rev. Ward Willis Eong of the Presbyterian church in Salem. About half of these members came by certificate from their home churches, the rest making the first public confession of their faith. An especially beautiful feature of the service was the baptism of the three Hauser children, Mary Emily, Wauseca, and little Peter Hermann. A com munion service followed the reception of members. Mr. Eong was assisted in this by eight members of his session. Mrs. Eong delighted the students by singing “ Open the Gates of the Temple.” The audi torium was beautifully decorated for the service with quantities of Easter lillies, Oregon grape, and flower ing quince. S E N IO R N O TES Every senior volunteered a splendid recitation in current events again this week. The senior pennant was taken out for repairs recent ly and now looks as good as new. Operetta practice, a short period two or three times a week, is bringing out the voices. There are indications that a great many improve ments are to be made in the senior homes this summer. The contest essays are the authority. Because of the absences of some of the teachers, William Minthorne, Erma EaClair and Albert Orsen have all been temporary teachers for a few hours this week. On Enster the class table was started and it really seems like the beginning of the end when the seniors withdraw to their very own table for the rest of the year. Miss Skipton never forgets this custom and the classes never forget Miss Skipton. Mrs. Iliff visited Salem Thursday p. m. on school business. Grace Morigeau and Eena Swan are assistant ma trons in Winona.
