1 LAMBDA SIGMA Z 1 I, EVER before in the history of the Alma l-ligh School have the girls had a literary kw a society. This year such a society, which A is an important factor in student life as it affords opportunities for literary and social development, was organized, and by the com- mon consent of its members called the Hl..ambda Sigma. The primary object of this society is of course to develop an appreciation and love for good literature among its members, and to increase their respect for and power to use correct English. With this in view on the first and third Tuesdays of every school month meetings are held, alternately devoted to de- bates and literary subjects. The work has been very successful in many respects, and in spite of the fact that this is the first attempt of the girls to form such an organization, great progress has been made. But the society does not believe in the maxim, All work and no play, for it has its social as Well as literary aspect. ln fact, already many good times of every description have been enjoyed among the mem- bers themselves. The members of the society are sure that although this is a new field of work, a good beginning has been madeg and they trust that those who are left to carry on the work will go forward with a greater success. And so the Lambda Sigma, composed of its thirty- five members, feels that the society will be in a good condition for the work of next year, and look gladly on the past and hopefully expectant of the future. M. A.,'II.

i4??23? f1 ' -' ' N the a t th ee or four ears Alma I-I' h 5 - P S Y y lg l School has developed rapidly in athletics. r g Before that time athletics in the school l were not ranked very high, and lack of interest made winning teams impossible. Four years ago basket ball was first organized in the l-ligh Schoolg and now winning teams in this sport are developed every year, owing to good coaching by Mr. Currier, and the great interest taken in it. ln football and baseball, the same thing has been true. This being due to the good coaching of both Ward and Currier, and the great interest in these sports by the student body. Cne of the organizations that is greatly responsible for the increase of interest in athletics is the Athletic Association, which has put athletics directly in the hands of the student body, and they feel a greater interest in it, since they have something to do with the management of it. With at least one of the present coaches back and under the 'supervision of Superintendent Ellsworth, the athletic teams of the future will certainly be as successful as those of the past few years.
