went with vim. Miss Cannon's es-
say. The Boys" was roplete with wit,
poetry and philosophy, and received
great applause. Miss Grants solo and
the tenor song by Mr. Robinson were
both very artistic, as was also the
piano playing OF Misses Clayton and
Peterson and the cornet solo of Mr..
Sweeten. The recitations by Misses
Fox and Young received hearty APP
plause; and the remarks of President
Paul were a fitting climax to the choice
program as well as an introduction to

rhyme and created great amusement;
while The Girls by Mr.. Welsh was
a piece of choice compliment, also In
rhyme, and directed TO the lady stu
dents. Mr.. Mortensen gave an original
recitation, each line commencing with
There are no girls like our girls. -
This led Prof. Paul to remark In his

SO true, so brave, so free
There are no maids like English maids.

face Is likely TO be petted at home and
fiattered In society, TIL she becomes
giddy, dizzy. intoxicated with the
praise of persons as light headed as
herself and she barters away all her
glorious opportunities as a student at
the only time In which she can pre-
pare herself for life here and here
after, merely in order to be leader
In little social set. There certainly
could not be any society however, more
delightful than the present company:
and the speaker hoped that guests
would enjoy the festivities Of the occa-
| sion and Danish every thought save
| that OF pleasure.
