FRIENDS UNIVERSITY eLEE CLUB

The Young Mems Glee Club Of the
Friends University of Wichita gave
concert in the high school audi
torium last Saturday evening. The
twelve young men were accompanied
by their director, Lucy H. Francisco,
and also by reader, Miss Corless
Moore. Both the musical numbers
and the readings were very well rem
dered, every number receiving an en-
core to which the entertainers Nber-
ally responded. The numbers by the
gqpay' cite and the readings by Miss
Moore showed more finished work
than the rest of the program, but the
songs What George Did" and the
Medley From the South" by the
club were much appreciated. The
program was closed by a College
Scene" the big event Of the even
ing. This scene, which was a view
of a college mans room, kept the
audience in a continuous uproar.

Y. M. C. A. BANQUET.

One of the pleasant social events
OF the season was the function given
Monday evening by the Y. NJ. C. A.
of the High School in honor of David
R. Porter, of the National Board of
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tlon.
About one hundred Of the business
and professional men of the town
and the boys met at the Commercial
Club rooms at $3.50 where the time
was spent in getting acquainted and
in social converse until 7:15 when
they adjourned to the banquet room
in the basement OF the NJ. E. church
where an elegant four course BAN
quet was served. At the conclusion
of the meal, to which it is unneces-
sary to say all did ample justice,
Judge Banta, as toast-master, assum.
ed control of the situation and in
his usual able manner presented the
speakers of the evening and toasts
were responded to as follows:
What the Business Man Expects
of the School," DR.. Kendall; Our
Y. NJ" Roy Jordan; "The Young
Man and the job" T. NJ. Keegan;
The Young Mans Viewpoint" Gabe
Sellers; THE Man and the Boy"
Rev. Westwood.
These toasts were all handled in
a manner which has been the source
Of much favorable comment, and was
followed by the address of David R.
Porter, the guest of the evening.
The address was fully in line with
what might be expected from a
speaker who is polished and eloquent
and thoroughly enthused with the
subject on which he is speaking, and
was listened to with profound atten-
tion and thoroughly enjoyed by his
hearers. Mr.. Porter is enroute to
New York from a trip to Pacific
coast points, and is spending some
time on his trip in stimulating the
work of the Y. NJ. C. A. He will re-
main here a short time and will go
from here to Hutchinson to attend
district convention of the Y. NJ. c.
A.
Much credit is due the boys of the
local organization for the able man.
ner in which the details Of the meet.
ing were handled.

of deputies raided one of the room
ing houses in the south part of town
early Sunday morning and captured
eight men who were engaged in the
innocent pasttime of playing pitch,
according to their testimony, but ac-
cording to the police the game was
poker. In police court the next day
each of the eight was given a fine
and the costs were added, and they
were given the Injunction to go
and sin no more" or the fine would
be little stronger next time. While
they were a: the job, the officers
thought it would be a good idea to
give the house a thorough cleaning
in all lines, and search Of some of
the girls rooms, said girls having
regulations that are more savory
than pure, was made. One girl, to-
gether with a companion, was cap

police court. fund. Another girl hus-
tied her companion down the fire es-
cape and threw his clothes after
him and then made a quick disap-
pearance herself, both making their
getaway. 1t was spring house-clean-
ing, all right.
