Local and Personal
Notes.
Stone, the Photographer,
Is now, and has been for the
past twelve years making the
pictures for Southwestern. What
does this signify? You can't
avoid the conclusion that you
get the be-^t by patronizing him.
Thats what you want isn't it?
The new pictures he is now mak-
ing are made by a distinctly new
process. The latest, prettiest
and best superior to the old be-
yond comparison. Making the
picturesjof last year is as out of
date as list season's hats. Yet
they cost no more. Then why
not have them? Keep up with
the times. Get your money's
worth. Insist on having the
latest. Do not still ride in an
ox cart. Patronize Stone, the
Photographer.

the preliminary being set for
about March 15. To., enter the
contest a student must wriee on
some phase of the liquor problem 1
not exceeding 1500 words.
In the coming contest eight ;
colleges have speakers. Why |
not S. U. win first money? We
have the material—why not get
busy? It is expected that sever-
al of the colleges will send dele-1
gates. What are we going to
do with them? Show them a!
time, of course! The league
asks the co-operation of every
student to make the convention
and contest a success. Let's
show the people that S. U. is
strictly in the swim. If you can
speak, get in the contest! If
you can talk, talk up the league
work. At any rate, join the
legue and "boost it up."

SECTION 2 WINS.
Royally Entertained.
At the beginning of the school
year, Prof. Barcus, Superintend-
ent of Modd Hall, announced
that he would give the treats
to the section of the hall mak-
ing the highest grade during
the term. That part of the hall
opened to students is divided
into nine groups, eight rooms
to the group. The section that
made the highest grade during
the fall term is composed of the
following: Morris, Dudley,
Leath, Sam Ayres, Abnev,
Knowles, Thomas. J. L. Lips-
comb, W. N. Lipscomb, R. P.
Sansom, Southern. O. D. Doug- j
las, Solon Johnson.
Thursday night at nine o'-
clock these winners assembled
in Prof. Barcus' room and spent
a most delightful hour. The
entertainment consisted of joke
telling, mind reading,- toasts,
and a most elegant and delicious
three course banquet. Prof.
Barcus distinguished himself as
a mi ad reader; we would warn
all miscreants to he wary in his
presence. Morris and Southern
made a hit by their attenuated
jokes. Leath acted as toaSt-
master. -Dudley responded to
the toast, "Section 2." Mprris
toasted Section 4, (the section
just over~the heads of the win-
ners, literally speaking). W.
L. Lipscomb responded to the
toast, '' Mood Hall.'' The guests
adjourned at ten p. m. making
the open" court riflff with fifteen
rahs far Prof. Barcus and nine
rahs for*Section 2.
Prof. Barcus has repeated %
lilar offer for the winter term.
