IS SPLENDID SUCCESS
SUMMER STUDENTS ARE WELL
PLEASED WITH ENTERTAIN
MENT IN PAL HALL
About One - Hundred Fifty Attend
Weekly Meetings Are Planned
For the Summer
About 150 students came out for the
reception given by the Palladian Liter
ary Society in their hall, Friday even
ing. The spirit of sociability was
much in evidence, indicative of more
college spirit among the summer
school students in the future.
The crowd was divided into groups
for the writing of an impromptu news
paper, each group furnishing a sec
tion of the paper and cub reporters of
all types of efficiency were developed.
A short literary program was given
consisting of a piano solo by Gladys
Weil, a vocal solo by Roy Young, and
a reading by Leon Snyder. After
wards light refreshments were served.
By a practically unanimous vote of
those present it was decided to accept
the invitation cf the society to continue
the meetings once a week. Plans are
already being formed for future meet
ings. The first will be given Satur
day evening and the program will be
furnished by the Palladians who are
in summer school. For the following
meetings it has been suggested that
the i'ormer Peru students furnish one
program, and those from Kearney an
other. Further programs will be
planned later.
The organization urges all who were
present at the last meeting to boost
for an even greater attendance.
