tary of the Maine Baptist convention

vice before the college closes for the

service and he offered the prayer.
Doris Roberts rs gave the scripture
reading, while Elmer Allen was the

the bright lights on the program and
looks like the best organization of
it's kind which has represented Col

made up for the loss of some of it's
best men by last June's commence
ment.

has also profited by the addition OF
new men. This club has been one
of the most popular divisions Of the

Several stunts AMI special novel;
ties have been introduced and the
addition of some new talent in the
line of dancers and readers has
added greatly to the value of the
clubs. AS a whole the Organization
should be very successful this year
and the trips planned for later in
the season should briny honor to the
college. At later dates several more
trips will be held through various
parts of New England. IF present
plans mature mols extensive trip
will be made which will include Ne>.

Aim to Avoid All
Duplicate Xmas Work

The Chamber of Commerce has
been requested by one of the welfare
organizations In the city to assist in
an effort to prevent duplication in the
Christmas Relief work carried on by
various fraternal and social bodies Of
the city,.
1t is believed that if list were
made of all tho Sc case where help is
needed and kept at some central
place, the Chamber of Commerce be-
ing designated in this case, it might
act as a sort of clearing house so that
a more even distribution of favors
will result. thereby preventing an
over supply in some place and an I'M
der-supply in others.
Since the discontinuance of the AS
ISOLATED Charities. there has been no
central place where such information
is available. Now the Chamber is
asking ell organizations who do
Christmas Relief work, and favor the
compilation of such list to send a
representative. preferably the chair
man of their Christmas committee,
to a welfare council to be held at the
Chamber of Commerce rooms on
Tuesday evening at 7.30 o'clock to
discuss this plan. Each chairman or
representative is requested to came
provided with such data as may be
needed for the list as the time is
short and quick work wilkbe neces-
Sary.

1922. Every year since that time IL
has been the custom to hold service
in memory of those men on the Sun
day afternoon nearest the date of the
fire and this will probably be con-
tinued. i, The members of the pres
ent senior class were freshmen when
the fire occurred and were all very
intimate with those men who lost
their lives. Those men were: Alton
Andrews, Charles Treworgy, Norman
Wardwell, Ralph Robinson and War
rem Frye.
A short talk was given by a mem
Der of the senior class on each of the
five men, these speakers being those
who were most intimate with the
men. Stanley Brown spoke concern
ing Frye and his short talk was very
effective. Charles Ide told Of the
character and life of Wardwell and
noted the loss which the fraternity
felt. Wilbur MacAllister spoke of
Andrews and told of his service to
the fraternity. Bradley Cutler talked
of the outstanding qualities of Rob-
inson and paid him a perfect tribute.
Alden Kittredge spoke concerning
Treworgy and placed his life as an
ideal for the members of Lambda Chi
Alpha to strive toward.
Professor Cecil A. Rollins of the
English Department, also a member
of the fraternity offered prayer and
sketched briefly the ideals~of the fra
ternity as well as stressing the i'm
portance of character. Elmer Allen
gave two vocal selections and later
other members of the fraternity
suoke briefly.
Representa- tives from the other
fraternities were present as were
delegates from the women's division.
There were many fine floral trib-
utes in evidence and the service was
very impressive.
