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."

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.
