for approval. The number of pu

ond quarter.
The reception in the gymnasium
last Friday evening, the initial Soc
ial gathering of the school year,

pleasantries exchanged tended to
promote spirit of mutual interest
and friendliness. In the course of
the evening a program of several
numbers was given. President

address, responded in his energiz-
ing and sincere way, with a well
come which was extended to the

cultivation of the social qualities,
both in respect to culture and prac-
tibility. Prof. Ames, appearing in
behalf of the new pupils and teach
ers, spoke of the desirability of
unity in the school, and encouraged
a blending of the new element with
the old 10 that end. Miss Willett
sang a solo which was most hap
PLY received, and Miss Campbell,
with captivating voice and grace,
sang a selection named Glover
Blossoms" Professor Clark read
poem on Madeline Island" which
was composed by Miss Alice
Shultes. The poem is an expression
of Miss Shultes' admiration of the
island through her recent associa-
ton with it's charms. Mrs. Trues-
dell read two excellent poems from
the works of Sam Walter Foss, and
responded to the insistent encore
with a reading of "Rock-a.by Land"
by E. A. Brininstool, with piano &C
compartment played by Mrs.
Fletcher. Refreshment consisting
of frappe was served. The mem
bers of the Y. w. C. A. and Y. M.
c. A., who gave the reception. and
whose officers stood in the receiv-
ing line, are to be commended for
this pleasurable occasion.
