PLATONIAN LITERARY SOCIETY (Left to right) : Vickers, B. God oadway, PLATONIAN LITERARY SOCIETY P-L-A-T-0 — the loudest yell heard every Monday eve- ning. » This year, Plato started with ten , members — a bit low in quantity, but extremely high in quality. Plato has been through the thick and thin of things during the past year. Seemingly, all bad things turn out humorous. We won ' t forget those urchins from the girls ' dormitory who spoiled the refreshments at Plato ' s open session. Excitement and words flowed freely. The members of Plato are proud of its past, and hope- ful of its future PHILOSOPHIAN LITERARY SOCIETY PHILOSOPHIAN LITERARY SOCIETY Philo started its 107th year with four members but it had taken in five new members before Thanksgiving Philo met every Monday at 12:10 P.
