THE ALPHA KAPPA PSI
ENTERTAINS.
On Saturday afternoon the young
ladies of the Alpha Kappa Psi again '
upheld their old reputation of lavish
entertainers. The guests who were
so favored on this occasion were the
Nu Sigma and the Phi Kappa Delta
fraternities :.nd the Delta, Delta, Delta
Sorority.
The room of the entertainers was
jSettily decorated with evergreens,
JMctures and pennants. Everything
was in perfect taste from floor to ceiling.
The Alpha Kappi Psis are to be complemented on the beautiful room
they possess.
The Alpha Kappi Psis have a faculty of making you feel at home.
This is a difficult art but they have
mastered it. A "mere man" is relieved
indeed upon entering the reception
rooms to be taken in hand by such
kindly misses as Miss Johnson, Miss
Barron, Miss Mace and but
this is not a roll call. And to find the
list of the charming ladies you need
only read the list of members.
To take up the thread of our discourse again. Upon entering the rooms,
under friendly guidance we were conducted to the punch bowl over which
presided Miss Campbell.
Miss Purdon assisted by Mr. Roberts
and Miss Waterman rendered the air
sweet with sound.
And then to cap the climax, delicious salads were passed around.
So enjoyable was the occasion that
I'm afraid some of us stayed longer
than is just right at a reception. But
I'm sure that the hospitable Alpha
Kappa Psis will overlook a little
breach of etiquette like this.
And thus passed into history one
of the most enjoyable events of the
social year.
There was a clerk of a country church
who was once much exercised at the
appearance of a strange old gentleman
who, when the sermon was about to
begin, took a trumpet (in two parts)
out of his pocket and began screwing
them together.
The clerk watched him till the
process was completed, and then going
up, whispered, "Yeow darn't play that
here. Do, I'll turn yo' out."

Know ye all men by these presents
that on Saturday Night, Jan. 28, at 7:30
in the Auditorium a Great Debate is to
come off.
You have heard or read how the
doughty Stetson Lits have challenged
the Kent Club to mortal combat in
debate. On Saturday night, Jan. 28 this
debate of the year is to come off.
Everyone is invited to attend. The
Stetson Lits though made up of younger
students, is one of the oldest organizations in the schools. They are
up against a hard proposition this
time however. But we shall see.
The subject, of the debate is an interesting one. They are to debate the
advantages and disadvantages of the
American and the British forms of
Government, or rather they are to
debate the superiority of one over the
other. This is by no means a one-sided
subject and an interesting time will
be shown to all those that attend.
It will be remembered that the
Stetson Lits "run it over" the Euso-
phians in that last contest. Will they
do so in this case ? Will they have a
walk over or will they rather have a
"walk under?" It will be an interesting
fight.
The Collegiate being impartial wishes
good luck to both sides. And we
hope to see a large crowd present on
that Saturday night. As we understand it there will be no admission
charged.

+ THE 09'S REUNION. ♦
♦ ♦
♦ ♦♦♦♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦♦♦♦♦
On last Friday night Miss Helen
Dozier, of Orange City, one of the
former "naughty niners," entertained the "old guard" with a class reunion.
The crowd met at Chaudoin Hall
and after several rousing cheers, just
to show them that we were alive, we
started on our moonlight ride to
Orange City.
After a joyful and "songful" trip
we reached the scene of our coming
pleasures. We found the home tastefully and beautifully decorated in
the old class colors and clusters of
the class flowers lying about.
The evening was spent in playing
several delightful games and in the
negotiation of the delightful refreshments prepared for our delactation.
The '09 Class of the Academy has
never lost its identity. We have
always held together, through thick
and thin. Nearly all of us mounted
the four rungs in the old academic
ladder together.
After the fun and pleasure the
other night we held a business meeting.
The old '09 class has organized for
life, with life officers. Every,year will
be published and distributed among
the members a little "annual" telling
of the lives of our members. The
officers are: President, C. M. Durrance; Vice-President, Miss Helen Dozier; Class Historian, Gordon Haynes.
And thus again it is left to the '09
class to inaugurate something new
for Stetson. This little annual will
perpetuate our friendship through life.
Have you never heard old folks say,
"wonder whatever became of that old
classmate of mine?" But no naughty-
niner will ever have reason to say this.
For in our annual every year, we will
have the stories of our lives.
In its significance this little class
annual is greater and of more importance than the annual of the University. Too soon are the ties formed in
school, broken. Now we are forming
friendships that are making our lives.
