THE NORMAL RECORD. 15 Social Department On Wednesday evening, June 22, 1898, a joint meeting of the societies of the Normal School was held. This meeting ushered in the festivities attendant upon Commencement week. The following program was rendered: 1. Address by the President. . . .Lucy Jesser 2. "Valley of Summer Flowers," Ladies' Double Quartet 3. Recitation, "Sail On and On " Margaret McQuade 4. Essay, "The Bible " Ora V. Combs 5. " Fairy Song " .Glee Club 6. Debate upon the bill: An Act to Provide Homes for, and confer Citizenship upon. the Indians of the United States. For the bill Luther Parker Against the bill Scott Hendricks 7. " Freedom To-day ".'... Glee Club 8. Talk, " The Stimulus " Gabrielie Flanagan 9. Paper, " The Country School " Rosa Mcintosh The songs gave evidence of Miss Wilson's indefatigable exertions as well as much hard work on the part of the singers themselves ; all were exceedingly well given. The recitation by Miss McQuade merited the hearty applause it received. The essays, talks, etc., which were given, are here reproduced, either partially or, when possible, in full: president's address. Fellow Students, Teachers, Friends: It has fallen upon me to address you to-night. In the name of the Literary and Debating Societies and the Y. W. C. A., which are about to entertain you, I extend a most cordial welcome. We want you to feel yourselves one with us to-night and enjoy the program with us. Now just a word in regard to the work and purpose of the different organizations that our school is proud to claim. The Literary Society has for its aim the upbuilding of the intellectual sphere of the teacher. We meet from time to time and are strengthened by thus gathering together. "In union there is strength." The ideal Literary Society is one in which each member takes some part at every meeting, whether it be in presiding, singing, reciting, reading, or in debating. It is a most valuable help to the student or teacher in the preparation, as well as in the delivery, of his or her individual part ; and then think of the pleasure and benefit derived from listening to thoughts expressed by others. Every well organized school should have a society of the kind to fit its members for after public life. I would advise all who have not yet taken part in the Literary Society to do so next year. Improve every golden opportunity therein offered, for when you go away from school you will probably sometimes be where no such organization exists ; and then, if never before, you may feel what you have lost. The Y. M. N. D. S., beside enabling its members to stand upon the floor like men, and talk without having their knees knock together from fright or bashfulness, fosters the love of patriotism in its members. The Senate, which the young men have resolved themselves into, affords fine opportunities for its members to become acquainted with Parliamentary and Congressional law. Here such measures are introduced as will be of benefit to the several states represented. It is an excellent place for the Normal boys to freely discuss the leading topics of the times. If they are interested in their society they will, most likely, be interested in their school work. The Y. W. C. A. is an organization the purpose of which is to raise to the highest degree of pure womanhood the young women of the school. Though the members of our society are but few in numbers, we feel that the spiritual and moral conditions of its workers may nevertheless be broadened. Never let the interest for this dear cause decrease, but build it up all you can, and may you, both active and associate members, come back in September with fresh vigor and renewed determination to labor for your Master. In closing, permit me just a word to you, fellow graduates, to whom this entertainment is chiefly given. Let us never forget these dear old halls, which have been our home for the last few years, nor the many pleasant surroundings we have so much en-
