held in the training school and the
normal gymnasium. The evening Of
November 3 was the occasion of the
joint meeting of the Vespertine, Del
phian and Normal societies. The
masque, Pandora" was staged by
the Delphian society and the debate
and musical numbers of the normals
were all very much appreciated by
the audience. On account of an acci-
dent to the lighting system the Yes
pertines were compelled to postpone
their program, but it will be an event
to be looked forward to in the future.
On Friday, November 8, Mr.. Starr,
a regent of the Oregon Normal paid
us welcome visit and incidentally
enlightened the student body on some
of the laws which were on the bal
lot.
Miss Dinius, our third and fourth
grade critic, gave an unusual chapel
talk in the form Of Riley program
by the pupils Of her room. Each bud
ding orator, reader and musician was
heartily applauded by the students,
for it was treat all enjoyed.
On November A the junior girls
were entertained at tea in the dormi-
tory parlors. This tea added another
to the list of successful affairs that
have been held in the dormitory under
the management of that able hostess,
Miss Todd, dean of women.
PRESIDENT Ackerman, who has been
giving lectures at institutes in east
ern Oregon counties, has returned to
Monmouth.
One has only to~note the added spir-
it and enthusiasm awakened in the
student body when the chair in chapel
which has been vacant for a time is
again filled to realize how great is
the influence of the man who leads
in the normal. Under his guidance
our school is forging ahead in all ac-
tivities.
Misses West, Kennon and Butler of
the Normal faculty were entertained
in Eugene on Homecoming" day by
