EXCELSIOR
At the last meeting of the Excelsior
Literary Society an election of officers
was held. - -

Beaver; Treasurer, Harry Queachpalma;
Sergeant-at-arms, Amos Smoker; and
committees for different purposes are to
be appointed at the next meeting.
After the election it was decided to
challenge the Nonpareil for a series of
three debates; two out of three for victory
As the Nonpareil being adjourned when
the challenge was sent it was suggested
to hand the message to the President: so
we shall know their opinion on the mat
ter by the next meeting.
Great interest haa been shown by the
members in every meeting so we can
almost see that the Excelsior is slowly
coming to the front. We are confident,
with the material we have this year
that our society work will be a credit to
the school and an honor to the members.
