The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1909-09-25

The ship on which Miss True, Miss
Mitchell and Miss Sherman returned
from Naples this month stopped da:
at the Azores. The passengers went
ashore in small boats and spent some
time wondering about the streets with
their most uncomfortable pavements
| OF small irregular stones. The usual
vehicles for the conveyance of wood
or what not seemed to be huge wicker
baskets on wheels drawn by pair OF
strong oxen, or else an even more
primitive box mounted on big, solid,
wooden wheels, also drawn by oxen.
A few loose Jointed carriers jolted
along the streets.
Most Of the men and bows went
barefoot, even those that were other
wise, almost stylisnly clad. One priest
with a severely cut long black robe,
buttoning from his chin to his ankles,
wore bright red hose and patent leath-
or pumps with shining buckles. The
women, many of them, had brightly
cc.ored kerchiefs tied over their heads.
All the natives laid aside their work
or playy of whatever kind to stare at
the foreigners. Those who were on the
streets congregated in groups to gaze
and comment. 1t is to be feared that
the travellers themselves we're equally
curious.
The sights are not many. One is
tawdry cathedral whose exterior is
tattered and patched and whose inter-
Tor is deliberately decorated with loud
and gaudy affairs and shrines made of
wood painted to resemble (supposedly)
marble and bronze. Some other
churches offer similar attractions, but
there is really beautiful small park
extending part way up a hill and full
of tropical plants and trees; the view
from the summit OF this Mill over the
islands and far out over the sea Is
well worth the necessary climb. A
game OF croeuet finished the days adj
ventures.
The college band has again begun
practice and with eighteen experience
ed players the organization reports
most fiourishing conditions. The new
large base horn and the two new mel
lophones are big incentives to better
work. Suits will be ordered for the
players in the near future. Mr.. Tall
bot is manager and has already made
a date for a concert at Gardner. Many
others will be arranged for in and
out of town during the year.

The class of 1912 has shown its

r. Pollock; vice president, Elma
Faust; secretary, Claire Gardner;
treasurer, Spencer Boise; sergeant at
arms, Harry Plath.

the preparatory department. will give
its annual opening reception to new
students Saturday evening, Sept. %.
The society is proving to be an adj
nirable organization as 1t unites the
fraternal and literary phases OF school
life.
Judge C. A. Pollock gave most in
teresting and instructive address to
the students at Thursday chapel He
spoke in happy and pleasing way Of
the students changing their home en-
vironment for the new one at the coll
lege and told them 1t depended en-
tire1y on themselves how much these
new surroundings would help them.
The judge Illustrated some of the
ways in which an education makes life
better. The hearty applause accord
ed him showed that his words were
sincerely appreciated.
Miss Florence Pinney OF the class of
'09 was the guest OF Miss Perley
Thursday evening. Miss Pinney is
teacher of mathematics and German
a. Moorhead high school.
Rev. McCIelland Of Hillsboro visited
the college and dormitory last We'd
nesday.
The dining room was never better
filed than at the present time New
students continue to arrive and the
present semester promises to be the
banner one for registration.
