A Song of the South.
The call of the East and the cry of the
West,
The lure and the gleam of the strife,
Oft tempt us away from our Southland
in quest
Of riches and station in life.
But we sing of our Southland a jubilant
psalm
Wherever we happen to roam,
And we pledge her our love both in
storm and in calm,
And hallow her ever as home. —Ex.
Last Saturday evening was installation night with the Eusophians,
when each retiring and incoming officer must proffer his regrets and appreciation respectively. Mr. Garwood, our
retiring president, pled for stronger
organization and support of the officers
of the society. He then resigned the
chair to Mr. Durrance who humbly
confessed his inability to fill his predecessor's shoes, laying claim, however,
to being "the biggest figure-head of
the whole business." Mr. Liddell, our
outgoing vice-president, having forgotten that he held that honor, refused to make an elaborate speech,
and his successor, Mr. Rob. Milam,
urged the need of more spirit in society
work. Mr. Coleman then resigned his
office of secretary to Miss Gordon,
who had prepared a "lovely speech"
for the previous Saturday, but that
meeting being postponed, she was unprepared, having left her "paraphernalia" at home. She concluded her
speech with "Blessed is he who has
nothing to say and cannot be persau-
ded to say it." Mr. Robt. Milam then
bequeathed the position of treasurer
to Mr. Liddell, who regaled us with a
brief parody on Marc Antony's speech,
and promised us he would give the
society what was "coming" to them.
Mr. Frank A. Smith then tendered
his thanks for his not being impeached
for non-performance of duty and then
consigned his chair to Mr. Goodchild,
and along with it the attendant duty of
"sitting up there and looking handsome ." The retiring program manager,
Mr. Arthur Milam, tendered his sympathy to his victims of the past term,
urged them to greater zeal in the performance of their duties, and with a
hearty tribute to his assistant yielded
the floor to Mr. Garwood, who outlined his programmes for the coming
term. These programs are to be
practical, promoting easy and fluent
expression on the floor, consisting
largely of recitations, essays, sketches
and debates.
The program of the evening was
then carried out. Mr. Thomas gave
some very excellent advice on "How
to Debate," a thoroughly practical
