JUNIOR RECEPTION BIG SUCCESS THE JUNIOR-SENIOR RECEPTION Faculty Rushed. It happened on the evening of Friday, February 9 and it was an event For weeks before Uncle Robert1 had Staggered under loads of evening dresses that had been frantically written for. All of them arrived intact and were joyously worn as the Juniors escorted their Senior < .iris and so forth to the entertainment. The evening's pleasure began with a little play charmingly presented by Misses Kitty Redford. I.ois Cosby, Nancy Lyne and Mary Friend, under the direction of Miss Kdna Norton Spear. The theme was that we would give Our ghostly ancestors heart-failure if Sir Conan Doyle could get them in touch with us and if spirits were Subject to disease. In this sketch we were treated to a remarkable display of Terpsichorean trippings, both ancient and modern. While an orchestra played, valentine refreshments were served by white-clad maids wearing heart-shaped aprons and caps. Then the scene of action shifted to the Re-; ception Hall which was gaily tricked out in hearts, with poor Joan quite a wall flower in the background. The orchestra played and we danced; that is, all of us who could or had the courage. It was a charming scene. Our evening frocks were many-hued and the colors blended, mingled and contrasted pleasantly. Men were much in demand, especially nun who danced. Those of our faculty who had the courage to step out were much sought after and greatly rushed. The popularity of matinee idols would suffer by comparison. The student body is dumb with admiration of their gameness. The dancing lasted until after eleven. Then we really were not tired at all but nevertheless we left—to talk it over.
"PUSSYFOOT" JOHNSON SPEAKS AT NORMAL SCHOOL Large Attendance. William Eugene Johnson, better known as "Pussyfoot," the renowned detective, author, journalist, and reformer, addressed a large audience in the auditorium of the Normal School on February the eighth. The subject of his talk was, "The Orient Moving Toward Prohibition." Mr. fohnson gave a very interesting account 01 . . / I .i • , !L t i i • i i) i • his hi. travels in the interest of world wide Prombition, and of the work he had accomplished in Indiana. He pointed out that instead of America being the laughing stock of the world, people everywhere are looking to America as their one hojH.' of salvation.
IS AMERICA SUFFERING FROM THE VAUDEVILLE MIND? Lichliter Offers Two Solutions to the Problem. It was a thoroughly interested and delighted audience that listened to the stirring lecture of Dr. M. II. Lichliter on the evening of February 6. Dr. Lichliter, our lyceum lecturer, came recommended as one of the ablest lecturers on the platform, a thoroughly informed and convincingly eloquent speaker, and we were not disappointed. His hook learning has a strong background of a knowledge of men; and the contact with real life which he has had gives strength and authority to what he says. The subject of the evening was "The Vaudeville Mind." In general the address was a plea for a revolution in our present viewpoint of ife. The people's mind today is best compared to a vaudeville show: as in the vaudeville many things are going on at once, with no special concentration on any one thing, so today our To Miss Edna Norton Spear, our beloved [ Continued on page 2. 1 honorary member, this issue of the ROTUNDA is dedicated in love and admiration for her, and PERSONALS in appreciation of her interest in behalf <>f our class.

The Ion;,' anticipated event lias happened. We have bad a regular "'ringtailed roarer" of a snowstorm. Last Monday at the unheard of hour of seven-twenty, when some of our more energetic roommates actually got up, we were disturbed by a joyful yell. "Oh, it's snowing!" Dear me. so it was! The bare, brown hills and unromantic roofs were disguised in glittering white. We "just couldn't wait" to get out in it. When at length the tedious routine of Monday was over, we joyously troo|>ed forth bundled up in every available scarf, coat, and cap. Some of us actually possessed knickers—and what is more we really wore them. Yes. "tis so. Some of the girls at S. N. S. turned out in the gar- i ments heretofore sacred to the male. Hampden-Sidney and the masculine faction of Farmville turned out. too. A pitched battle with snowballs promptly ensued and lasted as long as the snow did. Everyone engaged in the activities. Even the members of our respected faculty lost their dignity, voluntarily or involuntarily. None was s|«red a pummeling. What with the ice and snow covering the ground and the missiles striking various parts of our anatomy, navigation was exceedingly difficult. Everything having the least semblance of a sled was called into active service. All who could not slide stood around and looked on in envy. Rumor ham it that certain members of our faculty, despising safety and teacherly behavior, took their lives in their hands and coasted down
