Now that the days are growing
longer Society will convene at 8
o'clock instead of the winter hour,
this. going into effect on March
14th.
At the last meeting of Society
the retiring president and the newly
elected president delivered their ex
augural and inaugural addresses
respectively. At this meeting the
election of Junior Orator and Vale
dictorian for the commencement ex
prcises of this Society was also
held.
Mr. Roy Webster, of the Law
Class of 1909, was elected Junior
Orator, and Mr. J. M. Hemphill,
of the Graduating Class, elected
Valedictorian.
The preliminary for State-Ora
torical contest will be held in the
chapel on 'the evening of March
20th. The speakers and officers
from this Society for this contest
are as follows:
Speakrs-J. C. Sheppard, Jr.,
'oq, Edgefield; J. D. Lee, '09, Sum
ter, and M. R. McDonald, 'io,
Westminster.
Officers-J. E. Hart, 'o8, York,
chief marshal; C. E. Vance, 'xx,
Richland, and J. I. Hazard, Jr., 'i i,
Georgetown, assistant marshals.
Due to the fact that we are en
gaged in so many contests during
the -spring, it was decided that as
every contest is practically an inter
Society contest, that the regular in
ter-Society contest that takes place
in April could be easily dispensed
with, and a motion was unanimous
ly carried to abolish for all time the
Annual Inter-Society Contest, this
to go into effect this collegiate year.

baseball because she is prejudiced
against bats, especially when her
