This booklet most likely came from the same student as the other dance cards; this student was also a member of the Arguromathos Society and may have donated the photos from the same time period. Regardless, this dance was billed a "Winter Carnival." As with the related items, this booklet includes spaces to write dance partners' names--in this case, the student danced with "[Ruth] Carty and Jimmie Clark," "Jan and Les Hiat," and "Connie and Les Olsen." No transcription.

A review of a meeting of the Thencanic Society by Harry R. Wilson. Although the report is not dated, Wilson was Thencanic Vice-President in 1897, so this likely dates to shortly before then. "Mr. Camp" is once again chided for his behavior, while "Mr. H. Lawrence" and "Mr. [Charles] Hewitt" receive some tongue-in-cheek remarks. Transcript attached.

A partially fragmented critic's report by one Milton R. Eastlack. Though sections of both pages are lost, the message is mostly comprehensible. Eastlack discusses the Society's new meeting room, corrects the orators' grammatical and rhetorical errors, and offers commentary on the students' behavior. Transcription attached.

Thencanic Critic Frankland Briggs lists the various behavioral problems at the Society's November 24th meeting, including a filibuster that delayed the end of the meeting by an hour. Transcription included.

A short note critiquing the behavior of the Society's membership. Transcription included.

Another wry report on the behavior and manners of the Thencanic Society. Transcription included.

An overall positive report, the first by Robert Earle Anderson (who was 15 in 1896). He gives many of his fellow Thencanic members praise for their debate performance, but recommends one invest in some cough drops. Transcription included.

A very brief report, notable for its passing mention of the "Hawaian question"--whether the United States should annex the Republic of Hawaii, which had acted as an effective U.S. client state since overthrowing the indigenous monarchy in 1893 (Hawaii would be annexed as a territory in 1898). Transcription included.

A brief report in a messy hand, probably by Benjamin Messler (although the signature is almost undecipherable). The critic offers praise and a remark about the ever-turbulent Mr. Camp. Transcription included.

A report of a positive meeting of the Thencanic, featuring a debate on dancing with lively examples. The Critic also mentions a "ladies gallery" that had set up in the nearby chemistry laboratory. Transcription included.
