COLLEGEVILLE.

J. O’Leary, of Cripple Creek, Colo., was one of the late visitors. The C. L. S. held another of their delightful programs last Sunday evening. The A. L. S. rendered their first public entertainment of the year on Thursday evening. It consisted of a number of recitations, music by the orchestra, and a one-act farce. At the last meeting of the Raleigh Smoking club, N. Huemmer was elected president; J. Dwyer secretary; J. Riley, marshal, for the' mid-year term. On Tuesday evening the eve of his name’s day, Father Nicholas was the surprised recipient of many happy felicitations for many gracious and equally enjoyable returns. Wednesday afternoon was city day. Most of the students availed themselves of the opportunity to be up-to-date by doing their Christmas shopping early. On Thursday I;he feast day of the Immaculate Conception, there were no classes. At the solemn highmass, Rev. F. Wachendorfer, C. PP. S„ was the celebrant. He also delivered a sermon appropriate to the occasion. One this day also the new altar ohimes were heard for the first time. They are the gift of the St. Stanislaus Altar Society to their director. Rev. S. Kuhnmuench. They are for use at the chapel services.' The athletic board has selected the following students to represent the college in the basketball courts this season: R. Carmody, capt., J. Lili, C. Grathwohl, C. McArdle, J. Dwyer, H. Moran. C. Reed is manager. Following the precedent of the football experience the team’s start is rather inauspicious, for the first game had been scheduled for Friday night with Goodland, but was called off by that team.
