and took their seats and soon after
this a couple of beautiful pieces were
rendered by the choir and a prayer
was offered by Dean Mofet The
special program was now entered on.
This consisted of vocal, solos, piano
solos, recitations, etc., which were all
performed in brilliant style. The
function was largely attended by the
students of the several departments.

faction worked assiduously for the
purpose of getting it's men into office.
