Organized in i854 to replace the Phliomathean Union, the Amphictyon Society is the oldest of the present four societies. Although the literary influence is not as strong as was originally intended, the Society partici- pation still serves as a nucleus for wholesome rivalry. ln this respect the Amphictyons have maintained a strong competitive spirit. Chief of the drawbacks under which the officers must work are inconvenient time for meetings and no income except an activity check. First semester officers were: Jon Olexy, President, Dave Neiman, Vice-President, Dave Lauderbaugh, Secretary, and Barry Landmesser, Treasurer. Second semester of- AMPHICTYON SOCIETY First row: J.

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.

INDEPENDENT SOCIETY Ambitious and wealthy, although not very literary, the Independent Society provides recreational, educational, and culinary facilities to boarding boys. From the profits of both the snack bar and the soda machine, television sets, encyclopedias, and other items for the general welfare are purchased every year. In the Inter-Society literary acitivities, the Independents fared well. Mark Harris, Sam Pearlman, and Nelson Banks gained a victory over the Amphictyons' team in the annual debate. The cast of Grandfather's Chair , in collaboration with the Platts , and Arthur Edgar, the Independents' Orator, ably competed in their re- spective contests. FIRST SEMESTER OFFICERS First row: Mr. lngling, A. Edgar, Mr. Bossier. Second row: D. Sherwood, A. Darling, R. Hausmann, Supervised by Mr. lngling and Mr. Bossler, Presidents Art Edgar ifirst semesteri and Don Sherwood Csecond semesterh guided the organization through a successful year. At meetings held this year, various suggestions for improving the Society and increasing its functions were offered. One idea presented was an intramural pro- gram restricted to boarder boys. With the change in study hall, suggestions for Friday night activities on non-athletic weekends were also discussed. These ideas mark a step in the right direction and may be realized next year. Q?
