Three Years of Literary Society The year 15315 will be long remembered by the students of South Park for it was in the beginning of that term M r. Thomas E. Gay, teacher of science and mathematics, aroused the interest of students and the first literary society was organized. I A committee composed of Grace Gorman, Mr. Ben Parks, and Hattie Perkins selected the name The Athenian for the society. The Athenians met every second Friday evening at 3 :40 and good work was accomplished in debating, reciting, and the like. To show the interest that was aroused among outsiders l will mention that at times there were as many as a dozen visitors present. When the 1916 term of school opened in September it seemed as if the literary society had been forgotten. The work was not taken up until November, when Mr. Earl Gough stirred up tl1e coals. At the first meeting Daphna Davis was elected president and W'alter 0'Hoark secretary. A busy program committee composed of Pauline Noble, chair- man, Lula Turner, and Willie Fehl kept the members interested with spicy and interesting programs. The society kept wrangling about a name, but finally it accepted The South Park Literary Society as appropriate, and the feuds that were aroused were forgotten in time. ' The last meeting of the South Park Literary Society was held in the big auditorium at night and the public was invited. A special program was rendered which was thoroughly enjoyed by a house full of visitors. ln the business session which followed it was decided to elect officers for the following year so as to prevent a long lapse of idle time at the beginning of the following term. The following officers were elected: NIALCOLM NICCORQUODALE ..................... Pifesident MARY Bf'TLER ............ .......... V ice President GoRDoN PARKER . . .. Secretary and Treasurer GILL .Ion Ns'roN ....................... Sergeant-at-Arms With these officers tl1e literary society started out the next term with great prospects. Excellent programs were rendered willingly and they proved very beneficial to tl1e members, who have improved wonderfully. The constitution called for an election of officers every four months and the following officers were elected for the last term: ' l ' LORRENCE SHATTUCK .............. President , fiLADYCE RUDD ....... .......... V ice President MARY H1NsoN ...... . . Secretary and Treasurer EVERRTT GARRISON ..... . 3 ............
