Collegeville Items.

Mr. and Mrs. Reidelbach ol Winamac, accompanied by their son and. three daughters, visited their son Cletus Sunday. Mrs. Lovett of Chicago ac-

companied her son, Thomas Prestom, to Collegeville to have him enrolled on the students’ list. Lloyd Curby presided at the first meeting of the Aloysian Society Sunday. The junior organization will have a very much increased attendance this year, On the same day the Columbian Literary Society convened for the first business meeting, Richard was chosen temporary chairman. A large membership is expected, and an unusually successful jjear anticipated. Mr. E. P. Honan will continue his parliamentary instructions. At the re-organization of the Raleigh Jolly Smoking Club, Thomas Harrington was elected president, Leo Hemmelgarn, vice-president, William Rachor, secretary, Leo Birkmier, marshal. While the .club members were in session, a box of fragrant Havanas, the gift of the new honorary president, Rev. Ildephone Rapp, assisted in the keeping of the orations in the proper bounds and spirit. The Athletic Association completed its list of officefs in the election held at the mass meeting Sunday evening. The following constitute the Board of Appropriations: Clifford Reed, Thomas Harrington, Harold Moran, George Sindelar, William Butler, Leo Birkmier. On September 15 the re-or-ganization of the college military company was effected. When finally completed, it will number nearly two hundred members, whose aspirations are not military glory, but personal and civic self-betterment. Captain Healey has the situation well in hand; the prospects are splendid, and there can be no question that he will succeed in developing one of the finest companies of soldier-boys that the college have ever had. Many of the recruits, indeed, are raw and awkard, but earnesj: and willing and that spells success.
