212 TO DRAG MA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

THETA. DEPAUW UNIVERSITY

In the recent state oratorical contest for Indiana, DePauw's repre-
sentative, Jesse Bogue, won the first place. A l l the next day (Satur-
day), was spent in celebrating and classes were dismissed until
Tuesday.

The athletic association has formed a society for the advance-
ment of athletic spirit and general athletics at DePauw. There is
one representative from each organization in school, belonging to
this society. The girls of the university have pledged themselves to
help out in any way possible, such as, giving work around the
sorority houses to athletes and supporting the team by attending
each game and contest. The girls have several good DePauw songs
to sing and at the two games we have already had, they seemed to
work well.

The first game was with Franklin and was played on McKeen
field. The score was 13 to 6 in favor of DePauw.

The second game was with Butler and the score was 8 to 0 i n
favor of DePauw. Having begun the season so favorably, we have
hopes of a good round of games.

On the evening of March 18, we gave a St. Patrick's dinner at
the sorority house on Walnut Street for about thirty freshman girls.
The house was decorated throughout in green shamrocks and cut
flowers and at the tables, shamrock candle shades were used. Edna
Harvey was toastmistress and the following toasts were given: -

"My Girls"—Mrs. Toll.
"Our Profs."—Ruth Holman.
"Our Pin"—Iva Beeson.
On April 23rd, President George R. Grose will be inaugurated.

Owing to the fact that only a limited number of seats have been
reserved for the DePauw students, each student wishing to attend
the services has been requested to sign up at the college library.
Already over three hundred and sixty-five have signed.

The DePauw University Choir will open the camp meeting at
Battle Ground, Ind., next August. The choir will have entire
charge of the evening services on August 4, 5 and 6. They will
also sing at all afternoon meetings.

During the recent flood, the DePauw students rejoiced at the
highness and dryness of Greencastle and suffered no inconveniences
with the exception of delayed mail and a slight shortage of food
supplies.
