S WE. near the end of another half-year, it is well to review the fortunes of the society during the term just closing. It has been the busiest and the best term in the history of the society. The Agora is at last taking its place as a' big girls' interest of the school. This growth is most evident in the phenomenal and continued in- crease in the membership. il' here are on the books now four times as many as there were at the beginning of the term, and attendance at meetings is in proportion. There has been improvement in quality and activity with the growth in size. Because of the enlarged attendance and interest, it has been pos- sible to hold meetings weekly instead of bi-Weekly, as formerly. This also has enabled the society to do much, both in a literary way and in a social way. On the literary side, there have been debates at the regular meetings and also a successful story contest, which was won by Miss Bessie Fiske. ln the social activities may be included the enter- tainment of the Debating League, with all its work and enjoyment. Then there was conducted a successful Pie Sale, and also the Agora was active in the bringing about ol the only Girls' Rally ever held in the school, and was well represented in the presiding officer, Miss Helen Lacy, vice-president of the Associated Students. Finally, an enjoyable party was held recently. The term has been good, but we look lor a better one to follow. We expect more growth and consequently ability to do more. One ambition is to be represented on the School Debating Team, which other work made too much to attempt this term. ln closing, we wish to extend our heartiest good wishes to the Forum, and sincerely hope that the next term will bring them as much as it seems to promise us. 34
