FIRST CLUB OF STUDENTS


An effort is beirg made Ky the stu
tents of Hamline university to organ
re a carnival club, and from present
indications it will be successful
r. II. Benham, one of the students,
first suggested the plan, which al
once met the approval of the other
students, and the matter has since been
hgitated until a degree of enthusiasm
has been attained which bespeaks sue
cess. If any organization Of this kind
!. IS effected it will be the Pioneer Stu
dents Carnival club.
A meeting will be held during the
week, at which the club will be or
ganiZed, officers elected, uniforms Sc
lected and all other matters transacted
which must necessarily be disposed

In harmony with the spirit of leap
year carnival the Minnehana Skating
club was organized a short time ago
by sixteen young ladies. Each of these
girls is the prettests, and the sixteen
have since discovered four more girls
with the same rare but necessary quail
ification- But although female skat-
ing club is expected to kow very lit
tie about skating, ii must have as
sociate members who can buckle straps
and prevent the active members from
breaking their necks Thus twenty
fortunate young men have been eau
tiOuSly accepted from among a regi-
ment of applicants. The Minnehana
club is limited, at present, TO the mem
berShip that characterized that roman
tic band who distressed Ali Bahia, and
it has by far the largest feminine mem
z mership of any carnival club yet or
Il gained The Minnehaha uniform is
white and scarlet. The scarlet toQues
have white tassel and an antipathy
for the curling irons sweetest results.
The short red jacket has a white edg-
ing and four big white buttons, and
the skating skirt has a broad white
band. Around each members waist
out of the way of her associates a
jaunty white sash. The entire cos
tune is brilliant and becoming. This
club has held some regular meetings
and many special ones, and it has
adorned most of the local Kinks, Where
picturesque professions have resulted
from the club rule that no active mem
Der shall try to skate alone. The Min
- nehahas intend to visit Minneapolis
and other outlying regions whenever
their friends become imbued with the
hospitable sentiment of the carnival
times.
The officers of the club are: Miss
: Emma Hendrum, president; Miss Jen-
ME Leo, vice president; Miss Minnie
Potts, treasurer; Miss Margaret Leo
secretary; Miss Viva Mindrum, lieu
tenant The captain is J. V. Parker
He's man, and was permitted to be
captain because he knows all about
marching and can speak loud enough
to be heard above the casual but
Simultaneous remarks of the other
members.
