Last Saturday night, at the home of Miss Jeannette Wheeler, Miss Mary Stone was initiated into the mysteries of Kalpa Alpha Theta. Alter the solemn rites of initiation had been performed and Miss Stone had stood the severe test and examination necessary to become a member of Kappa Alpha Theta, the remainder of the evening was spent in having a general good time, during which an elegant luncheon was served.
Last Saturday night the Kappa Kappa Gammas gave a box party at the opera house to hear the Jules Levy Concert Company. The event was in honor of Miss Laura Dainty, the elocutionest of the Concert Company, who is a member of the Kappa fraternity. Both the lower boxes were occupied, and were very prettily decorated with light and dark blue, the colors of the fraternity. After one of her numbers Miss Dainty, who wore a large bow of Kappa colors, was presented with a large basket of cut flowers.
S. J. Hunter, a graduate of the class of 193 is meeting with remarkable success as principal of the Effingham Hign School. Several weeks ago when the High School building and several of the largest buildings in town burned to the ground, he organized the boys of the High School into a fire brigade, and it was principally due to their efforts that the fire was brought under control and kept from spreading. The citizens declare that he saved the town, and he is looked upon with the greatest respect. After the fire he rustled around with his accustomed push and energy and secured the use of halls and churches to hold school in, and the next morning after the fire school went on as usual, not a single class being forced to miss a recitation.
Dates for the Glee and Banjo Club tour are fast being arranged and contracts being signed. Definite arrangements have already been made to give concerts in Kansas City, Missouri, Hiawatha, Marysville, Olathe, Concordia, Beloit, Atchison, Manhattan, Junction City, Abilene, and St. Joe, Missouri, and business manager W. H. H. Piatt is now trying to arrange dates with Topeka, Holten, Ottowa, Leavenworth, and several other cities. The Clubs will take a tour of eighteen days during the Christmas holidays, and two more short tours sometime during the spring. The Clubs were never better than they are now, the Glee Club especially showing the greatest improvement which is principally due to the large amount of vocal culture work given them by Professor Penny.
The Banjo Club also is very strong, having much better banjo players than ever before,
