Roll was called and the minutes read and approved. A short program was given by the juniors of the society and was followed by the seniors’ “ fare well.” The latter was rather saddening but the clouds were lifted by cheery songs by each of the vocational grades. Souvenir “ Ws” were presented to our hon ored members and after a short business program we adjourned for the year. Excelsior The Excelsior Society had the last meeting of the year last Friday evening. After rolbcall and reading of the minutes by the secretary, the following program was given: Song, society; loyalty, Dan Orton; cur rent events, Ernest Hill; jokes, John Petellin; stump speech, Roy Courville; E. L. S. trio, I. O. Medicine, Roy Courville and Robert Chamberlin; instrumental duet, Anthony Tyler and Charles DePoe; open house debate, “ Resolved, That a country boy has more chances of succeeding than a city boy.” The judges decided in favor of the affirmative. After a short business meeting, our critic gave us a few remarks. The meeting adjourned after singing the society songs and giving a few yells. Reliance The last meeting of the Reliance Riterary Society took place in Room 8, last Friday evening, April 20, 1923. Our business took up much of our time. There were discussions on our party, the track meet between E x celsiors and the Reliance Societies, the coming back of old members for next year, and about some new songs and yells. As there was no program posted we had a volunteer program. The numbers that were successfully ren dered were as follows: Chalk-talk, Joe White; vocal duet, Aaron Isaacs, George Johnson; current events, Charles Buchert;.recitation, Robert Johnson; music by Allan Shepard and Frank James. Our critic, Miss Davis, gave us a pleasing talk. After a few songs and yells the society adjourned. Nonpareil The Nonpareil Diterary Society held their last meet ing Friday evening at the usual time. The business went off with a snap. The following program was rendered by the juniors for the seniors: Opening address . . .

R E L IA N C E W IN S TRA C K M E E T The Reliance and Excelsior tracksters fanned the cinders last w$ek in the first “ whiz-bang” track meet seen here this spring. Dark horses of every sort were uncovered, especially by the Excelsiors who were forced to enter almost an entire team of dark ones in their eagerness to defend the purple and gold colors. Some of them have about earned for themselves the honor of wearing the white suit and cardinal “ C .” They surprised the crowd and we believe they sur prised themselves. Some of the real shiny lights of the day were Shep ard, who put the shot 38 feet; broad jumped 20 feet 6 inches, which by the way is a good college record, and high jumped 5 feet 2 inches. Frost ran the 100- yard dash in good time, while Keiser won the half- mile run by a sensational sprint. Our lank and lean DePoe won the pole vault at something better than nine feet. The score of 60 to 30 in favor of Reliance sounds like a walk away, but the closeness of each event made the meet one long to be remembered. Since the erection of the new dormitory for 200 boys the athletic field has been so restricted as to make it necessary to lay out a new field for another year. Happily we have a fine site west of the cottages in Hall’s addition.
