through his effort. The public is
invited to the chapel hour on Friday

from a novel by Randall Parrish, a
fact which is in itself a recommen
dation, and has an interesting plot,
full of action.
The Vespertine society put on
the first program of the term, cov
ering French art, literature, music
and drama. Miss Helen Michael
son sang a group of French songs,
one being, “ The Rosary” in French,

The Commercial Club adopted a

Similar resolutions are being sent
from other towns situated along
the West Side highway, McMinn

must make its re|>ort to the Feder

therefore it is important that all
possible he done to further the in

Governor Olcott is a consistent
booster of the idea that the scenic
