The Winona meeting was held in the usual place on
April 20. 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:

society. The society then adjourned to meet again
next year.

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.
