6 THE BATTALION FINAL MEETING OF “HORTS." The fin:il meeting of the Horticul tural Society was held last Tuesday evening, for the twofold purpose 01 electing officers for next year and for discussing the canning industry. The officers elected were: Dillon T. Stevens, president. Ira E. Cowait, vice president. H. M. Brundrett, secretary-treasurer. After the election of officers a short farewell address was made by the for mer president, Mr. M. H. James, and the regular meeting was then • called to order. There was a large attendance of cadets, and quite a number of visitors. The "Horts” are proud that their work is found so interesting that even the ladies honor the society with their presence, several being with us at this meeting. The topic of the evening (canning) was dealt with thoroughly and each phase of the work discussed, even to that of “let the ladies do the work," which was belligerently re sponded to by the fair visitors. After the meeting it was voted on and unanimously carried that the usual punishment be meted out to the new president, and in complying with this custom all accompanied him to Saunders & Leigh’s for refreshments.
