The students and teachers we're
pleased to have with them at the last
chapel before the vacation time Mr..

"The Mistletoe Bough" Mrs. White
also favored us with special Christ
mas selection, "The Gift of the Magi."
The program was enjoyed very much.
Rev. DR.. Flickinger preached an in
tereSting sermon TO the Y. Nj. c. A. last
Sunday morning, his subject being
Trophies of Youth" The Y. Nj. C. A.
went in a body to church.
The play, "Step Lively" which the
Senior Glass had been preparing, was
given very successfully on Monday
night, to an appreciativc audience
The play proved to be a good, clean
| comedy with cast we'll chosen and
coached. The plot was somewhat diff
ferent from the usual comedy. About
two hundred seats were sold. The
cast was as follows:
Joseph Billings 80. William Harris
Joseph Billings,Jr. ...... Lee Emery
Theo. Cunningham. Floyd Flickinger
Horatius Thimple .. Cornelius Carter

The Ciceronian and Parthenian Lit
erary Societies held joint meeting in
the auditorium last Friday afternoon.
The program was given by members
of both societies and was well pre-
pared and was much enjoyed. We had
with us President White and Mr.. Tay-
lor as visitors. We hope have an
other such meeting soon.
Joe and Scott James, former students
of Shepherd College, now attending
Penn State, State College, Pa, spent
few days visiting friends in this city.
The students Of Shepherd College
are glad to hear that Sylvester Harr is
able to be out again after long spell
of sickness. Mr.. Harr will not enter
school again until the second semester.
The college basketball team under
the supervision of Coach Legge jour-
neyed to Frederick Tuesday night and
dropped the opening game of the sea-
son to Company B Of the Maryland
First National Guard. The game was
listless and slow. The college boys
have not had much practice and were
not in the best of condition. The
Maryland team, which is not consid-
cred to be very strong, has played
three or four games already this year,
and this accounts for the defeat of
Shepherd College.
