Nearly three weeks have passed
since Newberry College began its
1e17-191S session and the student
BODY and the faculty have commenced
the work of the ne wterm in earnest
and with much zeal and vigor, having
been greatly benefited by the rest
| from toll and study during summer
vacation of many pleasures and much
healthful recreation. Glass organiza-
lions have already been perfected ans
the literary SOCIETIES Of the institution
| have started the new year in splendid
style, all students displaying much
| interest and enthusiasm in their work
as members of these societies. AS
usual, TIL Y. NJ. G.. A. is doing much for
| the student life at the college ana II
! is expected that greater good will
be accomplished by this splendid Or
ganization this year than ever before.
Every student is a member of the Y
NJ C. A. this year and the attendance
at the meetings of the association
which are held every Sunday after
noon at two o'clock, has been unus-
ual1y large.
A new literary society, consisting
Of the members of the Freshman an:
Sub-Freshman classes, has been or
ganized at the college this year. This
society is known as the CiceroniaI
Literary Society. 1t was organized
for the purpose of giving all new stu.
dents some training along this line
before becoming members of the old
er literary societies of the institution
which are composed of upper-class.
men, who have already had experience
in speech-making, debating and othei
phases of the work promoted by thes'
organizations.
Military training is a new featur.
at Newberry college this session ano
it is an attractive and beneficial al,
dition to the college course. All Sub
Freshmen, Freshmen and Sophomore
are required to take this military
training and many of the Juniors anu
Seniors are taking the course, also.
st present, company of about one
hundred students is being drilled in
military tactics. Thus far, the men
have drilled without uniforms c.
guns. However, uniforms have bee
ordered and these will arrive in abou
two weeks. 1t is hoped that guns can
be secured for the use of the compa
ny later in the session.
A number Of young men will rep
resent the Y. M. G. "a. at the annual
meeting Of the Federation Of Young
Peoples Societies of the Lutheran
church in South Carolina, which will
be held in Columbia Friday and Sat
urday.
Newberry opened the Foot Ball sea-
son IN Columbia Saturday and los
the first game to the University OF
South Carolina by the count of 3S toj
0. The Indians fought hard for the
game but were finally overwhelmed on
account of being opposed by much
heavier team and as result of injur-
les to several of the best players in
the squad. Not at all daunted but
slightly stung by this defeat, the mem.
bers are far more determined than
ever to win a majority of the remain
ing gridiron contests of the season.
Already, the tribe is putting on the
war paint for the next struggle and
it would be no great surprise for the
husky bunch of Indians to take a
scalp when they go on the warpath
again for another invasion of hostile
territory. Several new and promising
players were out in uniform Monday
afternoon and from all appearances
the team will present a much more
formidable front at the next contest
Anyway, some of the other college
elevens in the State may yet find
it necessary to sit up and take notice
of the Newberry Indians before the
season reaches it's grand climax on
