ROtarians Entertain Big Reds
The Big Reds were entertained
last Friday evening at the Kennebec
hotel by the local Rotarians. Mr..
George L. Rider, athletic director of
Miami university, was the speaker
of the evening.
The '39 senior class of M. & al.
had nourished hopes that 1t might
produce an issue of the Unonian be-
cause it has larger enrolment
than any in the past and probably
larger than any in the future. Tne
enrolment, as announced earlier, IS
rs. However, since the local busi-
ness men apparently feel that they
do not care to support another an
nual, all earlier plans of the class
will likely be abandoned.
Our Castalia society is staging 2
program this Wednesday which
consists Of debate concerning the
isolation of America from European
affairs, one act French comedy
about two deaf men and their con
sequent experience, and other short
talks. Speakers Of the debate and
characters Of the play were an
nounced last week. The program
will be presented in the auditorium
at 12:45 p. m. Any parents or cit
izen interested is cordially invited
to attend.
For the benefit of those who DO
not know what our Castalia society
is, let us explain. "Castalia' is the
name of our literary society which
is now in it's third year Of exist
ence. 1t is supervised by Miss Bell,
French and science teacher, and by
the principal, Mrs. Button. 1t was
organized for the purpose of pro.
noting both individuality and coop
Grafton among the members and
also for the purpose Of presenting
entertainments to the student body
Il consists only of pupils who have
made 'better than average" marks
in all branches of study, who have
been voted in by the older "Cas-
stalia" members, and who, upon en-
tering have pledged themselves to
abide faithfully by the constitution
of the aforesaid society. By failure
to pay dues, to receive marks OF
B-or above, to appear on programs
when asked to do SO, and to conduct
himself properly at the meetings, a
member is automatically dropped
from the society and can be rein
stated only by unanimous vote OF
the other members.
The Junior class wishes to ex-
press it's appreciation of the troops
and their excellent entertainment
and of the large patronage of the
community. In spite of the wet
weather, perhaps you will be inter
ested in knowing that the total re
ceipts of the carnival were about
$3.50
