The Alpha Sigma Society gave
their Annual Entertainment in Column
bian Hall on Friday evening, Dec 10.
The program was we'll arranged and
well carried out. The music was
furnished by the Alpha Sigma Quar-.
tette, Duet, Prof. J. G. Newman and
wife, Miss Carnahan and Mrs. Bartlett.
Although the Hall is very poorly
arranged with view to acoustics, yet
the music was excellently rendered
and appreciated by all.
Fred Caldwelps "Speech on the
Annexation of Cuba" was "a comic
defamation and was we'll delivered.
]. E. Biddle gave an excellent ora
ton, his subject being, "Anglo-
phobia." This Grafton was we'll writ.
ten and was spoken in very eloquent
manner.
The debate was-Resolved, "That
municipal government should be nom
partisan"-H. c. Rimmer first spoke
and with Ciceronian oratory made the
audiance think that politics shouldn't
enter into our Getty government.
However, M. w. Erwin arose and
with Demosthenean eloquence convin-
ced the same audience that politics
should enter municipal government.
Whether this immediate change of
sentiment in the audiance should be
attributed to their own flexible minds,
Or the convincing argument of the
speakers, it is hard to determine.
However, it is fact that our govern
ment remained unchanged the next
morning. Mr.. E. B. Beuley's Grafton
on the "Coming Century" showed
tact in its preparation and oratory in
Its delivery. W. c. Harriott, as usual
gave an able Grafton, his subject being
"Drudgery." Mr.. Harriott showed
that "Drudgery" was one Of the ele-
ments of success.
The last and most amusing feature
Of the program was the reading of the
Alpha Sigma Advance by editor S. T..
Miser. Mr.. Miser with his clear, dis
tinct and forcible voice displayed
much "Wit and Wisdom" and every
one present realized that Sam is a
coming editor. A large guidance was
present at the entertainment and by
their close attention and good behav-
ior showed their interest in the work
of the Alpha Sigma Society.
The holidays will soon be here
again. Many of the students will
have the pleasant opportunity Of spend.
ing Xmas at home.
This term has been one of the best
in the history of our College. The
attendance has been good and the
work has been efficient. 1t makes u:
very sad however to think of the fac
that two of our best students have
been called away from our schoo
since last fall never more to return
Maryville College students have, IL
the main, been greatly blessed with
health and many other blessings.
S. O. Houston and J. w. Richie

The subject was the "Titles of Christ. -

presented and ably commented on.
