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.
