It was a splendid program, all members promptly
doing their share of the work. Our visitors, Mrs.
Brickell and Roy Courville, both expressed their en
joyment of the evening.
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

Y. M. A N D Y. W . C. A. 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.
