The last session of the Latin society for the present school term was held in the lecture room of the Physics building Wednesday afternoon. The meeting was a rather novel and yet
very successful one the Misses Rosenquist, Sumott, Williams and Frost, and Mr. Fay making extemporaneous speeches upon subjects assigned by Prof. Holmes.
Nearly Drowned.
While bathing in the Wakarusa with a number of friends last Sunday afternoon, Herbert Wing became exhausted and sank four times before his friends realized the situation and could bear him aid. He did not rise the fifth time but was taken from the bottom and carried ashore where he was unconscious for several minutes. Careful and vigorous work on the part of his companions soon restored him and he is now receiving the congratulations of friends on his narrow escape.
Freshmen Dance.
The members of the Freshman class held their second party last Saturday night at Library hall. A goodly number of the class were in attendance and the evening was much enjoyed by all. While the chief amusement was dancing, cards, crokinole and other games were provided for those who did not care to dance. The music was furnished by Saunder's orchestra and punch was served to refresh the thirsty. The parties given by this class have both been very successful and are of no little value in creating and maintaining a strong class spirit.
Club Picnic.
The Tomlinson club drove out to Deichman's crossing on the Wakarusa, Saturday afternoon, in the tallyho, returning by moonlight at 11 p.m. The party was composed of the Misses Emma and Sue Gearing, Cavin, Case, Bowen, Gephart, Tomlinson, Pollman, and Soxman, and the Messrs. Snyder, Lang, Brown, Souder, Miller, Smith, Myers, Grimes and Upham. All report a very pleasant time.
