SIGMA TAU DELTA (Left to right): J. Kean, G. Stephens, Dr. West, Dr. Yost. SIGMA TAU DELTA This is the eighth year of the Alpha lota chapter of Sigma Tau Delta on the campus. This organization is a national honorary English fraternity for the pur- pose of learning to appreciate literature and of creat- ing the desire to write. The meetings are held at the home of Dr. West and consist of creative writing and reviews on current books of popular interest. Three new members were received into the society this year. SIGMA ZETA The Sigma Zeta honorary society is a national or- ganization whose purpose is to encourage scientific study and to recognize students of high scholarship in natural sciences and mathematics. The Beta Chapter at McKendree College was organized in 1926. During this school year Prof. H. C. Gutekunst, head of the department of chemistry, and Mr. Thomas T. Gordon, a senior majoring in Mathematics, have been initiated. These, with Dean Stowell, have constituted the active chapter this year. Although with depleted ranks, the society plans to carry on and to be prepared for useful work both now and when the peace comes. SIGMA ZETA (Left to right): Prof. H. C.

Luma ' CLIO The only girls ' literary society on this campus is Clio, which helps the girls develop a well-balanced personality and gives them experience in speaking before others. Literary programs which are chosen by the critics are given each Monday night. They consist of declamations, impromptus, essays, assigned ad- dresses, current events, parliamentary drill, and music. These programs are varied and interesting and are formed around a central theme. Eleven new members were pledged into the society this year. Four open sessions were given during the year and the prominent social event of Sadie Hawkins Day was sponsored by the girls of Clio. This organization receives the support and coopera- tion of all Clionians. They enjoy the meetings very much. . Kampmeyer, M. Harshbarge Kean, V. Phillips, R. Giles. MIDDLE ROW: M. Ball, F. Hortin, SIGMA BETA RHO With the growing complexity of life for the indi- vidual under present world wide conditions, there is a profound need for a balanced life. Sigma Beta Rho was instituted for this very purpose. Slowly but surely we are realizing that the Mastei ' s practice of quietly slipping aside for a worship period with the Father gives us poise with a deeper under- standing and a broader view of life ' s tasks. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a work- man that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. — II Timothy: 2:15. Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. — II Timothy: 2:3. SIGMA BETA RHO (Left to Jackson, Stallings, ight): V. Jackson, R. McGrath, Dr vV. Searles, H. Martin, G.
