We would like to see all our ft lends al commcMcoutcnt exorcises. The p.iilomatliean Society will hold an open .-suasion al the close of the present term. Tlio Senior class went to Nebraska City last Saturday on a pleasure excursion, and as a result created quite an iniproxnion, especially in Dr. Smith's Photograph gal lory. The Normal boys have organized a so" oloty lor the purpose of becoming expert in parlimentary practice. We think such a society will be very profitable to those who attend, and wo hope it will bo made permanent. Our Sociable last Saturday evening was one of the most enjoyable that we have attended this year.- The exercises of die evening consisted of music, recitations, declamations, and closed with a shadow pantomime. The sociability of our stud eats is a characteristic feature of our school. iMay it ever continue so to bo. Our Rhetorical class was thrown into unparalleled excitement last Friday by an alarm of lire, and on rushing to tlio scone found the woods south of the school build ing in a shoot of llame..
