By this arrangement the workof the student may be kept in quantity down tothe recognized college standard of fifteen hoursand at the same time it enables him to qualifyfor Class A or Class B.This term shows the College Course to havethe largest enrollment for any one term in itshistory. Eighty-five are doing work in theCourse.The College Course students held their election of officers for the term, April 15. The following were elected: President, Will E. Edington Vice President, Orrelle Fidlar Secretary,Gertrude Cope Historian, Louise Pickett Treasurer, Will T. Barbre Artist, Miss Town-ley. The possibility of the College Course students giving a banquet to their Seniors wasdiscussed, but no definite action was taken.The Seniors of the Course met, Monday,April 26, and formed a class organizationwhich will act as a distinct body during thecommencement week. The probabilities are,that our Seniors will join forces with the Normal Course Seniors in carrying out the graduation program.
