ries and practicies, that for the once

deavor to slight none in our write-up
but il we fail we can not blame one
for retaliating by going over to the
enemy.

alike. While it was not our pleasure
to be in constant attendance, we did
listen to well arranged program on
the first evening consisting of musical
