At the regular chapel exercise.-
held Friday, November 4, Mrs.Glover
Gage, of Saginaw, gave an excellent talk on the subject "Some
Political Necessities of the Hour."
It would seem that it might have
been pre-arranged inasmuch as she
stated the most important duty of
a citizen was to vote, and we have
been experiencing some difficulty in
getting students to vote on subjects
that are, or will be, of vital interest
to them.
The Normal Orchestra gave several pleasing selections, after which an
announcement of the Armistice Day
program Was made by Mr. Koopman
Earl Brooks spent a very pleasanl
vacation' a few miles south of Mt.
Pleasant.

JOHN M. MUNSON
Music lovers of the city spent a
pleasant two hours Tuesday evening'
listening to the entertainment provided by the National Quartet, the
third number on the Normal Lecjtute
and Music Course. The quartet was
made up of Lawrence Wickland, first
tenor; Stanley Graham, second tenor
and accompanist; Mauna Ivins, baritone; and H. C. Cox, bass. The voice
work of the men was exceptionally
good and the impersonations ' and
interpretations clever. The principal fun maker of the quartet was,
the bass, H. C. Cox, who had a gootL
time himself entertaining his" audience-
The program gLveni by; the quartet
members was a varied one. The1
opening number was "In the Storm)
in the Night on the Sea," sung with;
expression and feeling. This was
followed by an anthem from Eccle-
siastes, and then came a reading of
Robert Service's poem from "Rhymes
of a Red Cross Man" called "The
Wee Whistle of Sandy MeGra>v"
which was read and interpreted by
H. C. Cox in a realistic Scotch
manner. Responding to repeated applause, Mr. Cox gave after the ap-*
proved negro style another reading.

Tucked away unobtrusively in the
columns of some of the state papers
last week was the announcement of
an engagement that came as a pleasant surprise to Central Normalites
who recognized in one of the principal figures venturing into the matrimonial unknown, John M. Munson,
superintendent of the Training
School of the Central Normal, editor
of Moderator-Topics, and a prominent schoolman interested in all affairs of education.
The announcement as set forth in
the Detroit Journal read as follows-
"Mrs. Martha Treleaven announces
the engagement of her daughter, Marian, to John Munson. Miss Treleaven
is at present studying voice with
great success in Chicago. Mr. Munson served for many years as Deputy
Superintendent of Public Instruction.
The wedding date has not as yet
been determined."
"Central Normal Life" joins with
the many friends of Miss Treleaven
and Mr. Munson in extending heartiest  congratulations-

GIRLS' SOCIAL LEAGUE
PRESENT CxIFT
Two beautiful silver teapots have
been on exhibition in Miss Ronan's
office in Normal Hall. They are the
gift of the members of the Girls'
Social League of 1921 to the Women's
Commons. The girls of the League
wished to leave a memento of their
good times and decided to provide
the teapots. Heretofore when a tea
was held in the Commons it was
necessary to borrow the teapots from
the Cafeteria. This will no longer
be necessary. Upon each silver teapot is inscribed G. S- L. 1921.
The beautiful gift has excited the
admiration of students and faculty
who join in thanking the members
of the League.
followed, by the entire quartet,
"Swing Along" and "I Don't," both
sung with excellent harmony. Mr.
Graham contributed a beautiul piano
solo, "Caprice" and an encore- "Lazy
Land" by the quartet made a decided
hit. The entire audience was gaping sleepily after this song interpretation. "Baby Brother" brought forth
more laughter and applause.
A number greatly appreciated was
De Bussy's "The Fisherman," a duet
sung byi Messrs. Wickland and Ivins.
After an encore graciously given ny
Mr. Wickland and Mr- Ivins, the
quartet sang with feeling Vander-
water's "Sunset" and Herman Lowell's "Where My Caravan Has
Rested." Mr. Cox again won the
hearts of his audience with a funny
negro interpretation of Bert William's "It's Yuh Move Now" and an
impersonation of Harry Lauder. Mr.
Cox, attired in kilties, sang "Roamin'
in the Gl.oamin'," one of the "avor-
ite songs of Mr. Lauder. His impersonation of the Scotch singer was
very well done and earned him repeated applause. He also gave "My
Girl Irene," accompanying himself
on the piano and creating much
amusement with his comedy. Mr-
Wickland sung two beautiful solos
that struck a more serious note, and
then followed two more funny skits
by the group—one a negro camp
meeting scene and the other the
'Quartet from Rigoletto," with the
singers' own interpretation. Both
produced, much laughter. The camp
meeting took the audience by storm.
The closing number was "Lead Kindly Light."
The next number on the Lecture
Course will be December 12. At that
time Davis, the noted magician, is
expected to entertain here.
Miss Helen A^r Senston, who is
private tutor for the "Clever Kiddies" at the Broadway Theatre, was
a campus visitor Wednesday afternoon. Miss Senston is a graduate
of Northern State Normal.
President Warriner recently attended a meeting of the Michigan
Teachers' Retirement Fund Board at
Lansing. Mr, Warriner was -elected
president of this organization, for
the current year. .
