A discussion of topics appropriate to the season, togeth er with special music, made a varied and interesting program. The Nonpareil Literary Society held their regular meeting in the auditorium on Friday evening. After a short business meeting an excellent program was rendered by the new members. A brief but instructive talk was given by Mrs. Edsell, who was pleased with the work of the society. A recent visitor to the Y. M. C. A. meeting was Mr. Percy Bell of O. A. C. Mr. Bell is state president of Student Volunteers and a track letter man of O. A. C. He made a most impressive talk to the boys along the line of character, living and service.

Other “out of town” guests were Josephine Summers and Josephine Nelson and Eva O’Brien. The gymnasium was beautifully decorated in pink and white, and the party was a splendid success.

Bow man, Mr. Paul Wallace, Mr. Harold Eakin, Mr. H. J. Clements and Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Park. The chapel exercises last Sunday evening were in charge of the Junior class girls and arrangements had been made for Mr. Paulus of Salem to give a lantern slide demonstration of colored photography. A brief musical program was given in the beginning of the exercises. Margaret Maupin acted as chairwoman, and with credit, too. The orchestra played the “Mel ody of Love” by Engelman, and the girls of the Junior class sang “The Italian Hymn” by Roma. About 200 views were put on the screen by Mr. Paulus, who explained both the pictures and the art of producing them as he proceeded. It was truly a most entertain ing and interesting treat for all present. Mr. Paulus has the thanks of all Chemawa for the enjoyable and profitable evening which his art has given us.
