a style that would do credit to older per-
formers. A paper on "Class History"
was read by Master Angus. followed by
one on "Young America" by Miss
Knight. An instrumental duet by Misses
Bedee and Franks came next, followed
by recitation by Master Townsend and

Master Tryon. A double quartet song
was then rendered, and Miss Smith read
the club minutes, in which NEUROLOGICAL
characters abounded.
Master Clifford gave a cornet solo in
good style and II. Julian read descrip
ton Of "A Day Without the Teachers"
and Miss SchaW played a fine instru-
mental solo. Miss Griggs read an essay,
s'Know Thysef,n which was followed by
guitar and banjo duet by Birdsall and
Ely. The assembly sympathized deeply
with Birdsail on account of the huge size
