All those who are going to Topeka to the contest must hand in their names AT ONCE, in order to get return train at night.
The unique society event of next week will be the Kappa theater party. The histrionic talent of that fraternity will array itself in a bright, catchy comedy. The event will be strictly formal, more on the order of a reception than otherwise, at which the girls will seek to entertain through the medium of a play instead of in the conventional manner. No pains and money have been spared in the attempt to make the affair truly "swell." The attendance will be wholly by invitation; over six hundred cards have been issued. Full dress will be in order, and wraps will probably be checked in the theater lobby. The production of this play promises to be a refreshing innovation in the way of fraternity receptions.
Phi Beta Kappa.
The meeting of the Phi Beta Kappa society was held Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock in the Greek room, and the following members of this year's graduating class were elected to membership: Eugene Alder, Leon Flint, Richard Price, Percy Parrott, C. A. Katherman, Miss Helen Metcalf, F. H. Wood, C. A. Rohrer, Joe Smith, Miss May Cooke and Miss Anna Shire. There are sixty-seven members of the present Senior class. Fifteen Seniors are eligible to membership in the Phi Beta Kappa each year but this number has never been elected in any one year. This year, however, a larger proportion has been elected to membership than in any previous one.
Senior Party.
Rah! Rah! Reven!
We are the 'leven!
Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk,
Class of Ninety-seven.
The notice, "Senior party, Library Hall Feb. 6th," which appeared so persistently on the bulletin board last week took effect Saturday evening. At an early hour lights from every window of the Library building seemed to call, "come, Seniors, be merry."
The ardor of the class of ninety-seven was not to be dampened by the inclement weather, for what mean mud and snow to one who has climbed Mt. Oread in all kinds of weather, for three and a half years. A large number of Seniors from the Schools of Arts and Engineering made their way, unmolested, to Library Hall that evening to enjoy their first class party of the season.
The Hall, attractive and comfortable in itself, was made more so by the tasty arrangement of easy chairs, settees, rugs, and screens.
Each person seemed to realize that his greatest duty was to contribute to the pleasure of others and all formality was laid aside. Cards and other games were participated in by all till the melodious strains of the violin and piano invited those who so desired to the dance. Other amusements were provided for those who did not care to take part in the dancing.
The disappearance of the lights at eleven o'clock caused no dismay, for lamps had been provided in anticipation of that event. While these were being lighted, College Songs furnished entertainment. After another hour the class yell was given and the merry procession descended the hill in peace.
