When the Adelphian Society was organized in 1865, it was predominantly a literary society open to both boarding and day student girls. As the Society grew in size, its scope progressed to include the philanthro- pic as well as the literary. In this newer field the Adel- phians' outstanding accomplishments include helping to supplement the United Fund and distributing baskets to indigent families at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. Each member generously contributed the money, food, and clothing to fill the baskets. This year the Society required of its pledges a written paper on Why l Would Like to Join the Adelphian Society. Besides this, the girls, dressed to portray the space age theme, were subiected to the usual initiation Society rigors. Shortly thereafter, the qualified girls were form- ally accepted by the Society. As a part of their activities, the Adelphians sponsored bake sales, Blue and Whites, and the Charles L. March Literary Prize for the best Opinator story of the year. This spring the members ioined arms with the Platton- ians in presenting a variety show. Much has been done this year in the evaluation of the position that the Society holds, or should hold, on the Seminary campus. The organization has outlived its initial purpose - that of being primarily literary. None- theless, the present members feel that the Adelphian Society should be retained to continue the beneficial proiects in the school and in the community. ADELPHIAN SOCIETY First row: L.

Plattonian Society Composed of the boarding girls of Swetland Hall, the Plattonian Society planned and participated in many, varied activities throughout the past year. The new members subiected themselves to the routine hazing culminated by a formal initiation. The C. A. and the Plattonian Society alternate in man- aging the girls' Snack Bar. This year the time consuming task was the Platts' responsibility. In co-operation with the Independent Society, the Plattonians presented a play entitled Grandfather's Chair. Represented by Susan Popky, the Platts were once again victorious in the annual Oratorical Contest, and the boarding girls helped the Adelphians with the production of a Variety Show. At the beginning of the year, Susan Popky had already been installed as President, Roz Feibus was chosen as Vice-President, Jeanne Cowan was Secretary, and Jackie Beattie served as Treasurer. As Vice-President, Judy Muschlitz was the only new officer elected during the second semester. These girls began the year with high hopes of improving the en- thusiasm and spirit of the Society, but many possible activities suggested were incorporated in the functions of the other organizations. The overlapping of activi- ties necessitated a re-evaluation of the Society, and the girls unanimously decided to retain their literary identi- ty. Perhaps in the future the Plattonian Society will be able to expand in this particular vein. FIRST SEMESTER OFFICERS First row: Miss Oswald, S. Popky, J. Beattie. Second row: R. Feibus, J. Cowan.
