CHAUTAUQUA CIRCLE


its 1922 season on Sunday, September
c5th. The members assembled in the
school room directly after the noon meal.
Vice-Pres. c. A. NJ, presiding. The list
of members answering to roll call showed
the ranks somewhat depleted, several of
the old members having been released
from the institution since the last meeting;
attendance fourteen.
The meeting being called to order, Vice
Pres. M. in his opening remarks stated
that the first business before the Circle
was the election of officers for the ensuing
year. By motion duly made, seconded
and passed both nominations and elections
were to be made by ballot.
The ballot for nominees for president
was so unanimous for Mr.. w. J. McC.
that he was elected by acclamation, hav-
ing no opposition.
The ballot for nominees for vice-pres
dent resulted in so unanimous choice for
Mr.. L. ]. w. that no ballot for election
was necessary.
The ballot for nominees for secretary
did not show such marked unanimity, five
names being presented as candidates for
election. The balloting that followed,
supplemented by a motion to include
few scattered votes, terminated in the re-
election of Mr.. F. T. P.
The first official act of Pres. McC. was
the appointment of Mr.. NJ. G. as critic
for the first term. This choice met the
Circles hearty approval as evinced by the
applause given, the members presumably
having in mind Mr.. G's. efficient qualif-
cations as proven during his term as
critic in 1920.
Following a customary procedure the
newly elected officers gave short address
of acceptance and thanks to the Circle.
Each asked for, and promised, spirit of
cooperation to make this successful,
r.utually profitable season. Views of sev-
eral of the members were also heard
teeming with such earnestness for the CIR
cle's welfare that brilliant season, under
the able leadership of Pres. Mc.C., is
practically assured.
Glasses were tentatively arranged from
A to F inclusive and cards for drawing
On the main library, bylaws, stationery,
lists and books from the Circles library
were distributed. A complete arrange
ment of classes and details of subjects to
be taken up was deferred until the next
meeting as there was not sufficient time
for permanent disposition. To assure
some interest for the next regular meeting
the Chair assigned two topics for essays
and debate. Glasses A. B and c, "Why
I Believe in the Open Shop" and classes
D, E and F, "Why am not in Favor of
the Open Shop" Two prizes are to be
awarded.
BY vote it was decided that the Critic
should read over all papers read before
the Circle, and return to the author, if
corrections are necessary, before submit
ting to THE MIRROR for publication.
Several applications for membership
were received, placed before the members
for discussion, and referred to the Mem
bership committee. Pres. McC. appointed
Messrs. L. J. w., A. g., and M. G. to
act on this committee. Following their
delibations an approved list of nine appli
cations were submitted for the Deputy
Warden's sanction.
Announcement was made that quar-
terly meeting was to be given in the
auditorium on October 9th; band con-
cert or musical. Adjournment, until
October 23rd, was then declared.
