teachers.

The Johnstown horror comes right
home to the students. as some of US
had friends who were lost in the
disaster
Some Of the boys went to Elwell on
Saturday to play ball but could not
play OH account of the rain. However,
they had the fun of walking home.
JOS. II. Norton has had quite a
tussle with the measles during the
past week, but he now has the upper
hand of them, and will be all right
soon.
The excessive rams of the past week
prevented the ball club from going to
Midland on Monday, but they will
probably play there on Saturday of
this week.
Several of the young ladies from the
College spent Sunday and Monday with
Misses Bessie Fancher and Edith Fox
at Mt. Pleasant. OF course they had
jolly time.
Prof. Butler entertained his classes
in general history, rhetoric and history
of philosophy at his home on Friday
evening last. 1t was an occasion OF
great enjoyment to those present.
The students will all be glad to
know that Miss Bertha Arms, whose
pleasant face we used to see III our
halls, has obtained a splendid position
at Portland for the coming year. May
success attend her.
OF course you expect to attend the

as to render the evening very enjoyable
to the listeners.
On her way home from Ionia last
week, Miss Eva Quick spent a day
with Bertha Stevens and Genevra

well worth hearing,

Bible-Study were held Tuesday morn
