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

humorous reading. "The One
legged Goose" and by Miss Reu
ter who pleased her audience
with a most charming whistling
solo.

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

with their Christmas hymns.
The critic's report was given by

A game of basket ball was
played between the girls teams
of the Amity and Monmouth
high schools. 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.
