Miss Tubbs, who was known to her
large circle of acquaintance as Nell .
had lived in Nina and vicinity for
twenty-seven years; during the last

the auditor generals office at Ian

STAIE SAVINGS BANK
To Have Model Banking Room In
Vermuelen Block.
HAS MADE STEADY PROGRESS
Since Its Organization and Has 0utgrOwn Its
Present Quarters.

The spirit OF progress and improve
mcnt which has been prevalent III
Alma and last year resulted in paved
streets and boulevard system of street
lighting, has reached our financial in
stitutions with the result that before
the summer Of 1913 passes into his
tory the Alma State Savings bank
will be located in a modern, up-to-
date banking room, credit not only
to Alma but to Gratiot county and
central Michigan as well.
The growth OF the State Savings
bank has been steady ever since its
organization some years ago, and the
directors anticipating the time when
the present quarters would become
inadequate, purchased the Vermulen
block on East Superior street, later
disposing OF a portion of the block
to the Alma Realty company, but re-
serving the room now occupied by
the Independent Cash grocery to be
used for banking purposes when
needed. The business OF the bank has
now reached the point where addi-
tional room is needed and the di-
rectors at their recent meeting auth
orized the converting OF the room
above referred to into modern bank
ing quarters. The plans are not as
yet perfected, but from what the Rec
ord man has seen we are safe in pre-
dieting for Alma and the State Saw
ings bank one of the finest banking
rooms in central Michigan. Tile
lavatores, safety deposit boxes and
every other modern convenience are
being planned for the benefit Of their
customers

An OLD STUDENT VISITS HIS ALMA MATER
Finds Many Changes and Not Familiar Face in the Student
BodyNIn Faculty Now Finds Two Faces Who Were
in College but Not Members of Faculty in
His College Days.

Recently we INDUCED in the pleas
ure of spending few days at Alma
College. 1t is with queer feeling
that an alumnus now approaches the
doors of the college, and quietly slips
in for the chapel exercise.
The first feeling is that of strange
ness Is this really the place where
we learned to see in life new and
deeper meaning? The student body
has changed that was to be expected.
But there is little tinge of sadness
that steals into the heart, when one
overhears the remark: That's an old
fellow that belonged here once. |
don't know his name.
We look for familiar faces on the
faculty row. None are there, but
presently two come i'll that we know
We are glad to see them; especially
as we knew them before they had
been called to the teaching staff We
hope that they at least will remember
our name.
Chapel begins. The president, DR..
Blaisdell arises. In our day DR..
Bruske always presided. We look up
the wall There we see, among other
"has beens,' life-size photogravure
of the venerable man who presided
over he destinies of the college dur
ing twenty-one years of growth. We
wonder if he should enter would that
student know his name. Never mind,
some day that student will graduate
and later on will come back and over
hear some future student say: Il don't
know his name" Now we know how
some one else felt few years ago,
when we used those same words.
We are not in the right frame of
mind to appreciate chapel What will
that stranger behind the pulpit do?
We look at him. He is medium sized
and in the prime of life. Yes, he has
a good face. We will have to admit
that; and he has modest bearing,
too. We must not let the fact that
he is in the place where we have been
accustomed to see another prejudice
us so that we cannot see his good
points.
He begins: Let us make this pc
culiarly service of conservation" F"
He says it in such way that we
know there is no cant" about it.
The student body sing a hymn; there
is the responsive reading; few re-
marks appropriate to the beginning
of the winter term, in which the pres
ident emphasizes his desire that the
student body may be faithful in duty,
and thereby make 1913 a PEACEFUL
year. Then he prays, and while he
Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1913-01-30

is praying, we, too, pray that his ad-
ministration may not only be one of
progress, but also one of PEACE.
Then the student body sing, Il am
thine, Q Lord" They sang it as
though it came from the heart; and
we were glad to learn that almost all
of the entire student body have given
their hearts to Him who alone is able
to give perfect PEACE.
The president announced as this
was the first day of the term MEM
Der of the faculty had been selected
to give lecture on a subject selec cted
by himslf. The lecturer on this oc-
casion was Professor George Ran
dells, Ph. d. Here is someone we
knew We still retain all the rever-
ence for him that. a lower classman
has for an upper classman in college
We expect something good from him.
We learned to do so in college days,
and he never disappointed. We are
sure that he will not today.
He gave as his subject: The small
college, the large college, and the col
lege in the university" He pointed
out that there is a place for the large
university that the small college
should not attempt to usurp. The
large college is now on trial; but that
the place par excellence for the devel-
opment of culture and character, and
for the laying the foundations of in
tellectual integrity is the small Christ
ian college. The facts he gave showed
wide and careful research. 1t was a
real privilege to listen to the master
full presentation. We felt glad to
think that he knows our name.
There are no fraternities at Alma
The alumnus has to resort to some
other way to get in touch with the
student body. Happy is the one who
has played on football team that
pionship. He has the "open sesame"
that unlocks for him the hearts of at
least eleven of the student body. We
tried this key 1t worked; and we
were favored by being able to learn
of the college as viewed by the stu
dent body. The students are not
only loyal; they are enthusiastically
so. They speak we'll of the ten new
members of the faculty. The words
of praise they speak of the president
strengthen the fine impression the
chapel exercise made. The students
think he is their friend, and they have
learned to trust him. From the con-
versation with the students, we learn
that the educational, literary and re-
ligious life of the school is at high

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Rhea Talon has been absent for a
few days on acc ount of sickness.

ordered last week for the new build
ing, the one 10 be placed in the main

The order was placed for the auto
matte clocks, also, last week. This

and small clocks in all the other
rooms. Exact time is kept and classes
are all called at the instant.
There is to be no meeting OF the
A. II. S. Debating club this week be-
cause OF examinations. The next

Feb. 10th and 18th. The speakers
will be Prof d. H. Roberts of Ypsi-
lanti. Hon. O. T. Corson. Columbus,

known and the meeting should be
good one.
A number of new students have en-
rolled for the new semester; their
names will appear next week.
Don't forget the promotion exer-
cises of the eighth grade, Friday af-
ternoon at two o'clock, i'll the high

the fast Mt. Pleasant team defeated
Alma by the score of 37-19. Grounds
of Mt Pleasant starred.
As a preliminary to the Alma-Mt.

exciting game. The score at the end
of the game stood IL to in favor of
Edmore. Dale Callihan, a former
Alma student, is captain of the team.
