Carpenter The Davisson Literary Society has always been known for quality rather than quantity While it is not a large society its members are all loyal Davissons and try in every Way .to make it representative of the ideals cherished by him whose name it bears. The programs which this society puts on are well calculated to fulfill the aims which such an organization should have. They consist of music, readings, essays, playlets, debates and various other forms of literary art. They are rendered entirely by members of the society and are interesting, instructive, and uplifting. They not only afford the participators excellent experiences, but give the listeners a good appreciation of literary ability. The program committee aims to have every member on a program at some time during the school year. The Literary Digest is prepared by one of the members for each program, and is eve thing that a society paper should be. . ry- Aside from the regular programs the society is represented each year by a debating team which meets a similar team from the Ophelian society. The question for debate is usually that taken by the high school debating league. A great deal of enthusiasm is Worked up over the result of these debates, and there is no doubt that both societies are better because of this friendly competition. I 99

f ' T X T . e SWEHCUKS f N 37. W. Gi. ZX. The Y. W. C. A. is the only girls' organiza- tion in the School of Agriculture, and five years have passed since the organization was started. Over half of the regular girls of the School are members at the present time, and many of them are connected with the organiza- tion as committee workers in various lines of work. The Y. W. C. A. stands for abundant life , both socially and spiritually. Vesper services are held in Ag. Hall on Wednesday noon of every week, between 12:30 and 1 o'clock. The programs have consisted of helpful talks by educated men and women of the city, and leaders of Y. W. C. A. work. Special music has been an interesting feature of the mid-week devotional services. 'The girls have joined with the boys of the Y. M.. C. A. in conducting successful meetings. These meetings have been well attended and have an uplifting infiuence on the student body of the school. The association girls give teas, luncheons and parties during the school year, so that friendship may grow among the girls by having the opportunity of being drawn together in a social manner as well as in the busy class room. The organization has a Mrs. Loughridge memorial fund, which has been established for several years, and fifteen dollars is sent to Turkey annually to partially keep two girls in the mission school. This year the missionary committee sent six dollars to the Child's Labor Bureau as a part of home missionary work. In November, 1915, our association joined the Y. W. C. A.'s of the United States by sending the following telegram, dictated by Jane Adams, to President Wilson: We urge a conference of neutral nations, dedicated to finding a just settlement of this war. This was when plans were being laid for the peace ship . D Mrs. Howard Gramlich, wife of Prof. Gram- lich, who has been especially interested in Y. W. C. A. work for a number of years, has been the sponsor of the association. Members of the faculty have shown a keen interest in the work undertaken by the girls, and much credit is due Miss Leila Corbin, dean of women at the Farm, who has given many helpful suggestions for the work of the past year. The banner meetings for the year have been when Be Square , an impressive talk, was given by Miss Burner, national secretary of the Y. W. C. A. and Miss Adelia Dodge, field secretary of the association, conducted a meet- ing. The jubilee meeting was held by Miss Beebe, ex-traveling secretary from South Dakota, and when the memorial service for Miss Grace Dodge, ex-president of the national board, was observed. At this last meeting Miss Fannie Drake, general secretary of the Nebraska University Y. W. C. A., paid a beautiful tribute to Miss Grace Dodge. About twenty dollars were pledged at this meeting for the national Y. W. C. A. fund. The officers for the School association for the year 1914-1915, were: JEANNETTE DOWNING .
