All parents of children attending the church school and parents of students attending the academy are cordially invited to attend. Following these words, President Leo Thiel emphasized three points of conduct to be considered in the class organization.

EDITORIAL From the days of Adam one of mankind's chief interests has been the naming of things; but that this interest is not always governed by good judgment is shown by the number of frightful names inflicted on inoffensive children, apparently with little thought f o r the future of the unfortunate recipient. It is possible that a newspaper might suffer a similar handicap; so the students of Union College, in order to avoid such a calamity, gave considerable time and thought to the selecting of a name for the paper. Possibly Shakespeare was right when he said, "What's in a name? that which we call a rose, called by any other name would smell as sweet," but it is our conviction that such a name as "The Squeal" or "Union's Spasm" would ruin the fragrance of any paper. These suggestions, among others equally diabolical, were some of fVi» ro^iilts of the name contest. However, we believe that ilie name The Clock Tower indicates very well the purpose and spirit of this publication and is particularly rej resentatjve of Union. (tefleg?.
