CLIONIAN LITERARY SOCIETY An outstanding spirit of loyalty and co-opera- tion instilled in the nnembers of our society has made this past year one to be remembered. Former Clionians joined with the society in the redecoration program of the hall. Each program has been prepared by the critics to give a wide variety in the display of talents. Most of the programs have a central theme around which a unification of thoughts is possible. Several well attended open sessions were held during the year. Nine members were pledged this year and Miss Conrow again was sponsor to our society. The year can be ended with a backward look of satisfaction, for Clio has again proved its right to niche on our hiill. PHILOSOPHIAN LITERARY SOCIETY In this, Philo ' s 106th year, many changes have occurred. Philo gave three men; Bernard Logan, James Oppitz, and Cyril Curtis to the services of our country and took six new mem- bers under its wing. Open sessions, the pledge banquet, and the regular weekly meetings have won Philo a dis- tinguished place on the campus again this year. We are proud to give men to the service of our country and feel that the training received in Philo will help them be of more value to the U. S. A. PLATONIAN LITERARY SOCIETY Plato this year, as was true in the past, was a literary society containing many athletes. Six of the seven basketball lettermen were Plotonians. Plato met Philo on the basketball floor as the feature of hHomecoming. Plato emerged victorious by a 50-33 score. Plato started the year with ten members. Four were pledged the first semester, and four more the second semester. Only six of these eighteen will be lost by graduation. This year, Plato hall was completely redec- orated. With the contributions of many old Plotonians, a new floor was laid and walls and ceiling were refinished. As long as there is a McKendree, Plato will be in there pitching. Relaxed.
