Hanbaum, CLIO The girls ' literary society has again proved its worth and traditional prestige to the campus. Loyalty and co- operation have inspired the members not only to keep the society ' s standards high but to seek future glory for Clio. Improvements have been made in the hall and in the form of the weekly program. The central themes of the meetings have taken on greater seriousness of thought. This society has also helped its members to achieve a well-balanced personality. PLATO Monday evening is associated with the Platonian Lit- erary Society meeting. This year Plato began its meet- ings with six old members. Plato ' s influence has been felt on the campus this past year in his members taking the lead in campus affairs. During one of the meetings, designated as open-session, a theater party was held instead of the usual formal session. Plato is also proud of his men whom were sent out to extinguish the fires of hatred in World War II. PLATO FIRST F ' OW (left to iight L. Walk.r, A, Kleinschmidt R Stadgc, G Troutt, D. Broadway, F.
