The associ ton had SIT paid enroll
ments with 141 complimentary enroll
ments of contestants and members OF
the opera, making grand total OF 718
enrollments in the organization which
is nearly twice as great as ever before.
| The large paid enrolment left the
treasury of the organization in fine
condition, there being 1856. 70 balance
for the ensuing year, which will enable
the new management to secure strong
er and larger program than has ever
before been within the reach of the
association.
At the general business meeting it
vas voted to make Hays the place of
meeting for a period of five years
This will enable the Normal School
authorities TO provide for the associa-
ton as they could not do if the matter

discussion every succeeding year. 1t
will also enable the association to invite
and secure the attendance of adjoini q
