16 The Howard-Payne Exponent

The Opening.

Howard-Payne opened her doors for the sixty-seventh
time to her new and old students on Thursday, September
14. The new auditorium in Classic Hall was filled with the
many friends and patrons of the college. The devotional
services were conducted by Rev. Robert Mcllvoy, the new
field agent. Several short and helpful talks were made.
President Stout spoke of the progress the college had made
during the summer-a gift of 8000.00$-the improvements
that had been made and the work it had done. The new
teachers were also called upon and each in turn responded in
appropriate and happy words. The old girls have come with
their accustomed enthusiasm and the new have so adjusted
themselves to Howard-Payne life, that the opening day
seemed only like the continuation of school after a day's
holiday.

[?pon] invitation Bishop Denny came to Fayette, between
the Southwest and St .Louis Conferences, to address
the students of Central and Howard-Payne. The address
was instructive as well as inspirational. We shall be glad to
welcome the good bishop to our college at any time.

As students of Howard-Payne we are glad to see so
many of the members of last year's faculty here again and
we heartily welcome the new ones. Miss McCafferty, the
English teacher, is very efficient and has already won a warm
place in the hearts of her pupils. We were afraid that, on
account of illness, Mrs. Beck, our new music teacher, would
resign her position, but we were made very happy by her
arrival only a few days ago. Prof. Williams and have proven
themselves excellent teachers.

We have been greatly entertained in chapel several
mornings this year by Miss Martinowski's readings from
her journal of travels. Misses Martinowski and Hendrix
spent the past summer in Europe and Miss Martinowski has
written a very interesting account of her travels. We all
wish that we might have the priviledge of traveling with her,
for she always sees the funny side of everything, and we look
forward with great pleasure to future readings from her
journal.

The Y. M. C. A. of Central College gave their annual
reception to the students and teachers of Central and Howard-Payne
on Friday evening, September the fifteenth. The
two beautiful society halls of the college were well-filled
with a gay throng of young people bent on having a good
time. During the evening Mr. Bartley sang a number of
selections, his rich bass voice pleasing and charming everyone.
Two "co-eds," Misses Bertha Brown and Dulce Culbertson,
presided at the punch bowl and saw that all were
well "punched" some time during the evening. The new
students were made to feel at home and many new friendships
were formed and old ones renewed. As of old the
Centralities proved themselves royal entertainers and 10.30
came all too soon.

Matrimonial.
The passengers on the afternoon train passing through
Fayette at 2:30 on October the fourth, saw on the platform
of the station a very gay crowd of Howard-Payne girls, who
were eagerly looking for some one on the train. From the
sacks of rice that the girls carried it was evident that they
were seeking a bridal couple (but did not find them) which
couple was none other than Dr. and Mrs. Jenings, nee Miss
Gladys Ford of the class of '10. The happy pair had been
married that morning at the home of the bride in Williams-
town, Mo., and were expected to pass through Fayette on the
