Alethenoi Any Miami student who met the requirements of Alethenoi was eli- gible to apply for membership. A 3.2 minimum average in at least eighteen hours of English was needed, only three of these from fresh- man English. Alethenoi required a 3.0 accumulative average in all other subjects. New members were initiated in the fall. A Christmas party at the home of Mr. David Becker, faculty advisor, and a picnic in the spring at the home of Mr. Robert Almy, chairman of the English department, highlighted the social activities of the English honorary, Alethenoi. During the year the society held regu- lar meetings at which the members discussed numerous types of lit- erature, poetry, prose and drama. Speakers also reviewed various phases of literature. 21

The Ameri- can Chemical Society was composed largely of students who were interested in the field of chemistry. It met once a month to gain additional in- formation in the field. Advised by Dr. Ritter, the officers planned an expanded schedule which included lec- tures of visiting speakers on vocational subjects and ap- plied chemistry. ' Row 1: R. Wagner, R. Speaker, V.
