preparing for the minstrel show which
they gave Friday night.
The Phrenodikens . held their regular
Friday, afternoon, programme, however,
and a " large number 'Was present. The
programme began with the reading of an
Interesting paper on "The Life and Char

necessary things for the formation of
such a club. An exhibition has been
planned and the club is also arranging to
hold a competition among Its members.

Is a large number.
The Eukrineon Society gave a min
strel show Friday night. December 4. that
was pronounced a great success. The per
formance was for the benefit of the
Athletic Society of the school. From all
appearances the Athletic Society will
not lack funds for a while, for vacant
seats were exceedingly scarce when
the disturbance began, and let it be
known that the school auditorium Is
quite a large affair. The minstrels were
all dressed in regular minstrel dress
suits, while the six end men were very
gaudily attired In gay dress suits of
the school colors, maroon and gold. A
very good feature of the performance
was that all the jokes were new. Most
of them were original, being cracked
for the first time last night. And It may
s'so he truthfully stated that every
Joke was a good one. One of the end
men. Mills, gave a particularly ' good
performance, carrying his part through
in line style. Earl Roblnsorv was the
star performer In the vocal line. The
dance- he and Nesblt executed was one
of -the-most laughable stunts of the
show. The Eukrineon quartet got In
some very good work, giving two vocal
numbers. In fact, every singer on the
list made good. They wore all tip-top.
