Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 41, Number 115, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 26 October 1909 — COLLEGEVILLE. [ARTICLE]

COLLEGEVILLE.

At the last C. L. S. meeting Hon. E. P. Honan delivered his first lecture on Parliamentary Law and its Use. Rev. Ambrose Schumack, College Point, N. Y., is staying at the college for a few days of quiet and rest. The Aurora Borealis of last week captivated the attention of .the students. It was the beautiful cause of many wise anti scientific discussions. On October 21st there were no classes. The boys spent the day rooming about the woods in commemoration Qf Columbus’ rovings over the seas, but no equal discoveries were reported. The McGurrenltes also overcame the McArdleites in their second game. It was a tussel royal from first to last. Next Sunday the best of the two teams will be opposed to a team from Rensselaer. Father J. Toujas conducted last Sunday’s services. It was his first appearance in the college pulpit, and his convincing discourse oh "Charity Towards All and Hatred of None”’ was highly enjoyed by all. Rev. C. F. Daniel has arrived and taken charge of St. Augustine’s congregation. During the past few weeks he has been traveling in the southwest, and had the pleasure of meeting President Taft at San Antonio, Texas. The Rensselaer Juniors were again defeated at football by the College Juniors Sunday afternoon. It was a fast and hard played game,, and the victofs only succeeded in pushing the ball over the opponents’ line in the last minute of play. The C. L. S. celebrated their 17th anniversary by rendering a very delightful entertainment. There were orations and essays, serious and comic recitations, and dramatic exhibitions. The vaudeville stunt “Up and Down” excited repeated roars of laughter. Especially very natural and attractive was the acting of G. Pax, as the old German Shoemaker. ‘‘The Cotton Scene,” an impressive stage picture, was real, artistic and enjoyable. To see it in these rough cold days made the heart yearn for the glad sunshine of sweet Dixieland. The music, furnished by the band, was well rendered. Prof. A. Steger’s piano solo was received with great enthusiasm.
