M. C. A.. June 7. In the abtence of tbe Prteidtnt, Lion Meatinger. Uon Detweiler was in the chair. After calling tbe meeting to order and the ofllcera for the ensuing year nominated, the meeting was turned over to Lion Ueorge Unangst who proved to be a very efficient chairman. Lion George Unangst of the Unangst Furniture Company gave a classification talk and u.sed ae his subject "the evolution ot the chair," which was very interest¬ ing and highly appreciated by all and Is as follows: Primitive man sat on his heels. Primitive races in the far corners of the earth still follow the cus¬ tom. But the modern American or European it exceedingly un¬ comfortable if he ha.o to "double" up like a Jack-knife for any length of time. It is Interesting to won¬ der whether It wae the stiffening of the Joints of old age that occa¬ sioned the making of tbe flret teat; or whether some rude tribal chieftain in the stone age decided to raise himselt at>ove his fellowa at the council fire by adopting a bowlder tor a throne. In those far days wben our European ancestors were skin clad creatures, little more than ani¬ mals, roaming the dark primeval forests of England and Central Europe, clumty stools or benches hacked from wood or stone, served for seats in the caves and crude hutt of the timet. Sometimes the stooit were supported on walrus tuEks, or were clumsily ornament¬ ed with bitt ot bot.e or walrut ivory. Away off to the eaat and south, the Egyptiana and their neigh¬ bors hod advanced much farther in civllitaiion. Their artisans were making furniture aa elabor¬ ate and beautiful aa any ot our own day. Long benchet aupported on conventionalited flgurea of ani¬ mals: chairt with low curving backt. and gracefully tiender, carved legs; cushioned atoolt, elaborately and delicately carved and painted, ore found in the bur¬ ied palaces and tombs of ancient nations that peri»h'ed hundreds of ye.Trs before the birth of Christ. But this culture did not penetrate westward. The savage Ooths .and Huns of Central Europe swept away ail traces of tbis civilisation In the Mediterranean countries which had adopted It. Scorning the luxurlee of their conquered foet. they blotted out many ot tha arta and crafts of contemporary | trtl Moravian churcb, Btthltb Tbit wat well recotved.

On Monday evening, tbe cadet battalion, under direction of Com¬ mandant of Cadett Capt. Charlet Leroy Steckel, gave the annual dress rehearsal drill on the school campus, assisted by the Nazareth Rand. This performance, given in anticipation ot the regular com¬ mencement drill of Wednesday, was cleverly executed in every way, a tribute to Captain Steckels careful training and drilling rou¬ tine throughout the year. Following the drill, the annual school play "The Junior" wat giv¬ tn by the Upper Senior Clats.

GAS FROM ginning of that period known as the dark ages. Superstition, is- noranct, crudity and ciumsineM reigned throughout Europe and England and the furniture of thote countries reflected this con¬ dition. It wae largely architectur¬ al. BencbAa built Into the walls. huge bed* built on platforms, heavy chestt and stooU tall and short, were the usual pieces. Jutt when the furniture niakern ot medieval England began to iidi backs and arms to stools and thus turn them Ibto chairs, is not de¬ termined. But a look at thofl*" early Gothic masterpieces mak»3d u& thankful that we were neither kings nor housekeepers when th*>y came into use. The backs were very high, and aet at right angles to the teat, giving no enoouraK>*- ment to relaxation. In addition, they were of solid wood, often deeply and elat>orately carved, '.nd tometimet curving into a tort of canopy overhead. The annt were built up aolidly at tbe tidea, like the tidet of a box, and indeed the teat often formed tbe lid to a box or cheat in wbich prayer-books wero often kept.

The Natapeth Uons Club held itt regular meeUng in tbe tocial room ot the Y. M. C. A.. June 7. In the abtence of tbe Prteidtnt, Lion Meatinger. Uon Detweiler was in the chair. After calling tbe meeting to order and the ofllcera for the ensuing year nominated, the meeting was turned over to Lion Ueorge Unangst who proved to be a very efficient chairman.
Lion George Unangst of the Unangst Furniture Company gave a classification talk and u.sed ae his subject "the evolution ot the chair," which was very interest¬ ing and highly appreciated by all and Is as follows:
Primitive man sat on his heels. Primitive races in the far corners of the earth still follow the cus¬ tom. But the modern American or European it exceedingly un¬ comfortable if he ha.o to "double" up like a Jack-knife for any length of time. It is Interesting to won¬ der whether It wae the stiffening of the Joints of old age that occa¬ sioned the making of tbe flret teat; or whether some rude tribal chieftain in the stone age decided to raise himselt at>ove his fellowa at the council fire by adopting a bowlder tor a throne.
In those far days wben our European ancestors were skin clad creatures, little more than ani¬ mals, roaming the dark primeval forests of England and Central Europe, clumty stools or benches hacked from wood or stone, served for seats in the caves and crude hutt of the timet. Sometimes the stooit were supported on walrus tuEks, or were clumsily ornament¬ ed with bitt ot bot.e or walrut ivory.
Away off to the eaat and south, the Egyptiana and their neigh¬ bors hod advanced much farther in civllitaiion. Their artisans were making furniture aa elabor¬ ate and beautiful aa any ot our own day. Long benchet aupported on conventionalited flgurea of ani¬ mals: chairt with low curving backt. and gracefully tiender, carved legs; cushioned atoolt, elaborately and delicately carved and painted, ore found in the bur¬ ied palaces and tombs of ancient nations that peri»h'ed hundreds of ye.Trs before the birth of Christ. But this culture did not penetrate westward. The savage Ooths .and Huns of Central Europe swept away ail traces of tbis civilisation In the Mediterranean countries which had adopted It. Scorning the luxurlee of their conquered foet. they blotted out many ot tha arta and crafts of contemporary |

Owes Lucken¬ bach, ot Betblebtm, graduated in tbe School of Architecture with high credits. Some thirty odd Naiareth Hall graduatet are now in college and are "coming through" in creditable fathion.
On Monday evening, tbe cadet battalion, under direction of Com¬ mandant of Cadett Capt. Charlet Leroy Steckel, gave the annual dress rehearsal drill on the school campus, assisted by the Nazareth Rand. This performance, given in anticipation ot the regular com¬ mencement drill of Wednesday, was cleverly executed in every way, a tribute to Captain Steckels careful training and drilling rou¬ tine throughout the year.
Following the drill, the annual
school play "The Junior" wat giv¬ tn by the Upper Senior Clats. The parts wtre well taken and the play wat repeated on Tueaday evening to a still larger audience, in whicb alumni and tholr tamlUet predom- inattd. The boyt bad btea well coached by William S.

The backs were very high, and aet at right angles to the teat, giving no enoouraK>*- ment to relaxation. In addition, they were of solid wood, often deeply and elat>orately carved, '.nd tometimet curving into a tort of canopy overhead.
