Neale, a lawyer of Greenfield, Mo., was elected chair- man of the committee to succeed Judge James, Cowgill, who quizzes to exchange bits of gossip and share their lonliness with one anoth- er. continied to hold their meetings— each year, of course, brought some new students and lost some old ones, —and in the meantime they did much to advertise the university in their section of the state. But, it seems, as time wore on the club wore out; far some unaccountable reason—in- terest lagged and the old Bates County spirit dwindled away until there came a time, when it was entire- ly lost sight of, and the Bates Coun- ty Club was only a pleasant memory. This year the club has been. revived and reorganized with the hope that it may be kept alive. -There are abopt twenty students from Bates County in the university this year, and most of them were present at the first busi- ness meeting, November 21, which fact shows that everyone is interest- ed and determined to make the club a living success henceforth. For a leader the club chose Donald C. Pharis, Butler; the other officers are: Vice president, L. N. Thompson; Hume; secretary and treasurer, Miss Clara Mager, Amoret; reporter, Fran- bs K. Godwin, Urich. The members’ rb = this year, aside from mak- For several years the students daughters, Mary Louise and Thelma, made a flying trip to Butler Friday in their new car.
