After the good things edible were
disposed of Rev. G. S. Keller took
charge as POSTMASTER and right we'll
he succeeded in carrying out his part
OF the program, starting the feast of
reason and the flow of the soul in a
most happy manner.
The duty of welcoming the guests
fell on President McLearie, member
of the board of control of the Athlet-
ic association of the School of Mines,
His remarks were of the usual Scotch
pithiness and wit and further aug
mented the feeling of all that it was
good to be there.
Mr.. DeGroot, of the School of
Mines, responded to the toast: "Our
Hostesses," and gave the ladies full
praise for having made the event of
the evening possible.
Mr.. Ballard responded for the
School of Mines stating their relation
to the association in a brief outline of
the part schools must take, while re-
spending to the toast, "What can the
Miners do for the Y. M. G A."
Capt. Jeffries, of the School of Mines
football team, responded to the toast,
"The School of Mines and the High
School," His talk was an appeal for
better understanding and more CO.
operation on the part of both schools
In the plans for the association, espe-
cially relative to the indoor sports to
be taken up
Mr.. Stoner spoke on, "What the
Miners Did to Creighton" declaring
it to be the best football game he had
seen and big card for the sturdy
team which represents the school.
Lauren Thomas responded to "What
the High School can do for the Y. M.
G. A." In it he pointed out many
ways in which helpful cooperation
can be established.
Capt. Schwerdtman of the high
school football team spoke on "What
the Y. M. c. A. Can Do for the High
School," He felt little out of place
Oh this subject, as something pertain
ing to the gamesof the football season
appealed more to his feelings; but ven
tured the assertion thai the associ--
tion is of great value to the schools.
The next program of the Y. M. G. A.
will be the Oberlin College Glee Club
which will sing at the auditorium on
New Years eve, Dec. 81. Tickets are
75c and $1.OO.
