Normal Societies The Delphian Society held its meeting on Friday evening. Dec. 7th. The program was of a Christmas character and express ed well the holiday spirit and the Christmas customs.' In the joint program the Delphians were represented by Miss Blackerby who gave the humorous reading. "The One legged Goose" and by Miss Reu ter who pleased her audience with a most charming whistling solo. After adjourning to the assem bly the Delphians held their bus iness meeting, followed by their Christmas program. The first number was a Holly drill, by eight girls, directed by Miss Lansbery. This was followed by a short plav, "Christmas Eve at Mother Hubbard's", directed by Miss Gillman. The characters, all representing personages in "Mother Goose Rhymes" were most splendidly taken. Simple Simon fairly convulsed his audi ence with his drawling tones and simple ways. Each character seemed to enter in to the spirit of his part and surely made the little play most fascinating. The vested Choir, directed by Miss Morris, closed the program with their Christmas hymns. The critic's report was given by Miss Hawes.

The Amity girls arived in cars, about six o'clock, and were shown the field of bat tle. The game was called at eight o'clock, before one of the most enthuastic audiences ever assem bled in the gym. tion of Miss Madeline Logan, this fantasy proved a decided success. Credit should be given Miss Loraine Mahoney for her aid with the musical features. As a whole the program was well fitted to be the first given in the new Chapel. Another Drive The Christmas Red Cross mem bership campaign wjll be launched at noon December 17 and will last until the night of December 24. This campaign s to add 240,000 members in Oregon to the Amer ican Red Cross. A membership costs as little as $1. In fact, in this campaign the great est emphasis is placed on the $1 membership, because it is believed this will be responsible for enlist ing the greatest number of people under the Red Cross banner. The drive is not for money, but for member's. In brief the effort of every coun ty in the state is to enlist 30 percent of its population under the Red Cross. Irrespective of whether mem bers have joined previously or not, they will be asked to join again in the Christmas Drive, with the as surance that there will be but one drive a year in the future and that the week preceeding Christmas. Thus "Make it a Red Cross Christ mas" is resounding over the coun try. Special church services will be held December 16. "Every man and woman in Ore gon must join the Red Cross" is the Oregon Slogan.
