Seniors Hold Elections
The Senior class ty-ld an election of
olHoers yesterday during the after
noon session. No class meeting was
called, the past term officers going
from room to room to collect the bal
lots instead. The result as an
nounced by Ex-President Ross S.
Hoffman at the beginning of the
fourth period was: Louis Rimer, 57;
Horace Selig, 16; Elizabeth Lloyd,.
40; Jennie Blocker, 37; Elizabeth
Brown, 26.
However, during the recess
which followed the last period in
which votes were allowed to be cast,
Ex-President Hoffman allowed a few
people to cast votes, inasmuch as
they did not have their dues with
them- when the ballots were 'aken.
These votes placed Miss Lloyd ahead
of Miss Blocker, who had been in the
lead at the close of the third period.
A special meeting of the class . as
then called for at 5 o'clock to deter
mine whether or not the votes cast
at recess should be null and void.
At 5.45 o'clock the class was still
divided in Its opinion upon this mat
ter, and the meeting was adjourned
by a motion of Prof. J. R. Miller,
class adviser. Another meeting will
bo held this afternoon to settle the
difficulty.

Want Old Arguses
Carl Stoner, editor-in-chief of
the Argus has asked any person hav
ing old copies of the Argus to turn
them into the office at Central. The
file containing these old books has
been sadly neglected by the last few
editors, and Mr. Stoner wants to have
the file complete before he turns the
.paper over to the next class. The
following are missing: In volume 1,
April, May, September. November and
December of the year 1895; in 1896.
January and March; all of volume
VII from April, 1901, to March 1912;
all of volume IX from April, 1 fC3,
to March 1904: all of volumes XII
and XIII from April, 1906, to June,

ber during 1915.
.Meeting Postponed
The meeting Of the H. A. Society
to be held Monday night, Dec. 23, at
the borne of Robert W. Crist has
been postponed until January. Many
of the mmebers of this society are
working for the U. S. Mail Service
during the holidays, which would
prevent them from being present.
Argus llox Put Ip
A box for contributions for the
Argus lias been put up in the library.
Inasmuch as the Argus is a paper
edited by the students, the editor-in
chief is anxious to have a large num
ber of contributions for the school
paper. In former years the box was
to be used only for roasts and jokes
for the Observation column, but this
year stories, editorials, roasts and
jckes are all welcome. A large num
ber of contributions are especially
desired from the lower classmen, as
the Argus staff is composed entirely
of Juniors and Seniors who are not
acquainted with their schoolmates in
the classes of '2l and '22.
HuNkrtbnll Booming
A large number of Senior boys
have signed up with Manager Carl
B. Stoner for a basketball tea.n to
