Evening Republican, Volume 16, Number 249, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 17 October 1912 — COLLEGEVILLE. [ARTICLE]

COLLEGEVILLE.

The C. L. S. held their regular meeting Sunday morning, the principal feature of it being the installation of the newly elected officers. Mr. E. P. Honan was also present and delivered his first parliamentary law lecture. On Oct. 13, the college juniors played their first foot ball game of the season with the Rensselaer juniors and won from them by the score of 16 to 0. The game was fast and snappy, the teams being well matched both in wits and weight. It was particularly agreeable to. notice that the scrambling and quarreling so much indulged in formerly was absent. A. Cavanaugh put up the best game and to his efforts especially the victory of the college boys is Sue. These visitors were with us during the week: Mr. and Mrs. F. X, Kpeutzer, Peru; Mrs. M. J. Dermody, Mrs. J. C. Collins, Mrs. Basil Walker, Hammond; Mrs. Cunningham, Joliet; Mr. and Mrs. Maschek, Miss Marie Maschek, Earl Maschek, Mrs. Monahan, Miss M. C. McMahon, Chicago; Mrs. Murphy, Mrs, Carroll, Crawfordsville; Mrs. E. J. and Miss Florence Vesque, Terre Haute. Columbus Day is the first college free day of the year, and the students spent it mostly by rambling about the country. On the eve of the day the C. L. S, presented their first public entertainment. Otto Mueller, the newly elected president, delivered his inaugural speech on the subject of the “Catholic Societies.” Michael Petzold next recited the “Breaking of the Ice.” With his splendid though comic harangue on woman suffrage, Anthony Pax gave his hearers ample occasion for a hearty laugh. Thomas Harrington and Charles Bueche debated the question: That Intercollegiate Athletics should be abolished. The first speaker succeeded in convincing the judges that his views were the better ones. ‘The Dutchman’s 'Picnic,” a farce enacted by Eugene Omlar, Leo. Gnau and Aloys Cook was a well rendered, conclusion in the evening’s program. The musical numbers were in charge of the band, and they gave unmistakable evidence that they will be heard from before the last Sunday evening concert in June will have been played. The rendition of the performance was under the direction of Rev. I. J. Rapp.
