Description:	THE NORMAL ADVANCE71UtterarpALETIIENAI.There is no darkness but ignorance.— Shakespeare.THE Alethenai are still continuing the study of English authors.November 15 wTas observed as Shakespeare Day. The program for the morning was: Biography of Shakespeare Review of The Tempest Review of King Lear, and Cur¬ rent Events.The Lake Poets Day was observed Decem¬ ber 5. Roll call was answered by quotations ^rom The Lake Poets. This was followed by The Life of Southey and Wordsworth Review of Tintern Abbey Review of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner Review of Macedon  Current Events, and Parliamentary Drill.Two old members, Miss Zoe Bodenhafcr, of Middletown, and Miss Clara Applegate, of Bloomington, visited the society November 15.CICERONIAN.Ciceronianism means steady work, and all Ciceronians old and new are realizing the fact more than ever before. But they feel that the strain of steadiness is the test of a man. Many a seemingly solid fellow in life is found to be only plated when the strain of steady hard work comes. Ciceronianism is a process as wTell as a quality. It is the process of making solid men who will stand the acid test of life.The Ciceronians were entertained in a body by the Eclectic Literary Society, Friday even¬ ing, November 21st, at an informal candy party. Both societies laid aside all serious thoughts for a few hours- and sweetened up their lives with the good cheer of the evening. Although the candy-pots contained something good, they were not all of the fun by a great deal.Prof. Bruce and wife were present. As they were reported to be chaperones, there was no need for such, so they seemed to enter into the fun of the evening as much as anyone.Ciceronians thank the Eclectic for the pleas¬ ant evening.DAEDALIAN NOTES.There are twelve men in this school who are congratulating themselves on the fact that they are lucky enough to be Daedalians. The work during the past month has exceeded in quality and instruction any work that has yet been gone through with this term.Not only has our program committee been giving the society the best that it can produce, but the social committee recently piloted through a stunt that was entirely satisfactory and easily perfect from start to finish.This event, wdiich is spoken of in such high terms, came in the guise of a turkey ban¬ quet. The banquet was held at the home of Messrs. Hemmer, Hyndman and Sigler on Thursday evening, November the twentieth. When word was spread among the fellows as to the place and especially the time, a season of dieting and fasting was definitely7 carried out by each and every member of the society. (Rea¬ son for this strange behavior unknown. Can you guess wdiy ?)The society had as its guest of honor Dr. Homer Bean, and it is reported by those who had time to look, that he made a creditable showing even among such voracious turkey con¬ sumers as all happy and hungry Daedalians were. The society congratulates itself on the fact that it was able to have Dr. Bean as its guest. It was the opinion of all present that it was a grand thing to be good and hungry, especially when there were such ample means of overcoming the hunger.
