QUITE AN INTERESTING STROLL
The Story is Graphically Told by One
Who Was There.
The concert given last Friday,
January 26th, under the auspices
of the music department, more
than justified the expectations of
all, and the appreciative audience
heartily encored almost every
number.
Mr. Morse gave all music lovers
a rare treat with his exquisite organ solos. By special request the
overture "William Tell" was substituted for the sixth number of
the program. Mr. Hill, the singer
for the night, charmed and faci-
nated all with his sweet tenor
solos, and it seemed as though the
audience could not get enough of
his singing. Mr. Suhrie's read
ings furnished a great part of the
pleasure of the evening, while by
his sympathetic renderings he
carried the audience with him
into many varying moods covering all the phases of feeling from
hearty laughter to the indefinite
longing expressed in "The Wild
White Rose."
The program for the evening
was as follows:
1. tidward Elgar, Military March-
Pomp and Circumstance.
E. H. Leware, Andantino in D
Flat.
Wagner, Pilgrims Chorus—Tann-
bauser.
2. Mendelssohn, If With All Youn
Hearts—Elijah.
3. Honor of the Woods.
4. Cantor, As the Dawn.
5. Ella Wheeler Wilcox, My Ships.
Massault, Andante and Serenade.
THE Y. W. C. A.
Membership 1 n c r e a ses—Missionary
Meeting Led by Miss Norcross.
Five new names proposed by
the chairman of the Membership
Committee were voted upon and
accepted by the association at the
last meeting. Three of the five
were entered on the books as active and the remaining two as associate.
Alter some points concerning
representation in the College
Annual had been decided the devotional part of the service was
taken up under the leadership of
Miss Norcross. As the subject
was Missions, she spoke on India
as an example of missionary
work. The Bible message was,
"Go ye, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations."
From the first to the last story
read or told, we were intensely
interested. The stories were vivid
because they were the result of
personal observation. The talk
left ns with many impressions,
but chiefly that education cannot
be put to any noble use without
Christianity, a n d Christianity
needs the power of education to
strengthen that which has been
gained.
A business meeting of the cabinet was held immediately after
the service.
Miss Hill and the art stu3en«= are
very busy just now preparing tLie
scenery for the college plays.
The road from DeLand to Daytona is remarkable in that no two
people are ever agreed upon its
physical state. Many conflicting
stories were abroad last week, but
the prevailing opinion was that
in carriages it was horrid, but on
foot superb. To prove the facts,
a committee of three, C. L. Wilder, E. S. Robinson and H. J. Chaffer, all of whom believe in experimentation and argue not from
authority, set forth from the
friendly shelter of Stetson Hall
and penetrated the cold, grey
damp at 1:80 in the afternoon.
Arrayed in light marching order the party seized the road and
hit a sharp trot down the well-
> worn path to Lake Lindley. From
this path we turned down by the
Walts place and half a mile further on, lo! the road disappeared
in a broad sheet of water. At
the brink we hesitated long
enough to confine the end of trous-
er leg in that of the ever-ready
sock. Then, without fear of successful contradiction or hope of
reward, we boldly entered the
deep. How gaily the water
splashed as we ploughed along,
and at length when we reached
a shallower place—how gratefully the cooling mud did fill our
shoes! •
"Boys, it's raining," quoth the
noble Carney, ever ready with
the cheerful thought, and, behold,
it was so and all the^chilly^shiv-
