All who have ever belonged to the society are asked to be present.

George Howard, who was the unanimous choice of the seniors for class orator this year, has resigned on account of his inability to be present at the class day exercises at White Lake the day following graduation. On account of this the seniors held a special meeting Tuesday, and chose Mr. Guest as Howard's successor. Mr. Howard has worked hard in preparing his oration, and general regret is expressed that he cannot remain for the exercises, but it is a matter for congratulations that such a good man as Guest was found to take his place.

At a meeting of the track men Tuesday, Harry Nancrede, '03, was chosen captain of next year's team. Nancrede is well fitted for the position, and the fact that he won second in the two-mile race at the interscholastic meet here last month. proves that he is an athlete. Nancrede was captain of this year's Cross Country club, and in the cross country race last April he won third place, being defeated only by Warren and Eagle, the crack sprinters of the school.
