Meetings are held each Wednesday. Although many Philosophians are in the service, those who are left still carry on the traditions. One of these is the McCormick Oratorical Contest held in Philo hall each year. The officers are Grant Hartman, president; Clyde Funkhouser, vice-president and janitor; Marvin Friesner, first critic; Wade Gee, second critic; and Edward Souders, secretary and treasurer. STUDENT-FACULTY COUNCIL Democratic principles are upheld and practiced on McKendree ' s campus. The Student-Faculty Council is the means used to promote democratic liv.ng on the campus. Student representatives meet with the appointed faculty members. In these meetings, students and faculty mem- bers discuss the requests brought to them. They, then, pass them on to the rest of the faculty and student body. Members of the Council consist of six faculty mem- bers and six studen ts. Chairman, Dr. Carl C.

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.
