ALE CKO THE LITERARY SOCIETY The Theodore Ficklin Literary vSocietv has flourished this last year under the leadershi]) of Traynham Houston, its honored ])resident. Clara Mae ( joldsworthy served as vice-president, Agnes Kelley as secretary, and Helen Staples as treas- urer — distinguished officers, to say the least. Jack Doniphan, with the able as- sistance of Park Ticer and Helen Staples, has furnished some very entertaining and interesting programs. The subject of one of our earliest programs was Henry W ' oodfin Grady. His works and literary characteristics were discussed by members of the Society. Edgar Allan Poe, a favorite among the students, was discussed in due turn. Accounts of the lives of Lanier, Dickens, Abraham Lincoln, Washington, Sandburg, and a group of modern writers such as Zane Grey also held the attention of the Society at different times. At Christmas, an es])eciallv good program was had — refresh- ments were served! A debate on the indefatigable subject, capital punishment, proved exciting as well as interesting during one of our meetings. The Society pin. a new addition this year, is a small gold owl, representing wisdom, holding before it a book, bearing the initials T. F. L. S. The guard is a Gold A, attached by a tiny chain. Everyone is m uch pleased with these pins. The Society will continue its practice of giving letters to members for good and efficient work. Six points are required for a letter. These points are given for assistance on the program, filling an office, serving on a committee, taking part in dramatics, making a poster, or taking part in a debate. Many members will receive letters this year. W ' e are looking forward to several meetings. Some very interesting programs, and a delightful picnic are being planned by the members. It will not be j)ossible to record them here, as the Alecko soon goes to jmess. W e extend our best wishes for the prosperity of the Society in the future. |[ Page Sixty-nine J| -
