Song Society.
Reading Olea Shore.
Joshes Agnes Clark.
Lire of Our President Lillian
Cardner.
Reading Eva Ruggles.
Charades Committee.
Many of the members visited the
session of the Normal Society in
Room 6.
A short business meeting followed,
afier which the society adjourned.
All especially enjoyed the brief ac
count of the president's (Shirley Dor
sey's) life. It was one of the most
accurate and cleverly written biog
raphies it has ever been our pleasure
to hear.
Vespertine Society.
The Vespertines held a most inter
esting session December 11, the sec
ond under the regime of the newly
Installed officers. Mrs. Stroud acts
her part as president with tact and
ease and Miss Mary White is our
efficient secretary. The society was
delighted with the attendance of a
new table; the secretary being es
pecially jubilant when assured its
presence would be permanent.
The program as planned was not
entirely carried out, owing to the Ill
ness of three members.
Miss Williams and Miss Weston
kindly substituted for a number with
a recitation and a song respectively.
Both were heartily applauded. "Cur
rent Events" by the members occa
sioned much merriment In addition to
the profit. Many things from the
new "Pay-as-you-enter" cars to the
President's message and paper mak
ing was discussed. Many plans for
the new year were made and commit
tees were appointed. It was voted
to send Christmas greetings to Prof.
L. A. Robinson in New York, who
leaves shortly in the interests of an
educational committee for Europe.
Prof. Robinson always took a great
interst in the societies.
,- Normal Society.
' The last meeting of the Normal
Society was brief but spirited. After
the regular business meeting the usu
al discussion of "Robert's Rules of
Order" was entered into by the mem
bers one and all. Several important
points were declared made clear. A
large delegation of Delphians were
admitted to listen to the short pro
gram. The visitors gracefully re
sponded to requests for talks which
were greatly enjoyed by. both socie
ties. Trip of Basket Ball Teams.
