■ ' I. .-I I ' ' J Societies 1-:.M1-,RS()N1ANS HI-AR V1- ' 1-riunds in ihc valle - of Mt. Harrison! Hard b ihu vales ol Albion which in nif h unto Pine Knoh. there was located the A. S. N. S. school. And lo. il happened thai e en unto this school came a horde ol intellectual knowledge-seekers. And et came still others seeking; to satislN ' their fancies, and their delights, in the realms of amusement. Now there is established upon the campus an Iniersonian societx in honor of that }.;reat literarv .aenius, Ralph Waldo l-:merson. This society being desirous of instilling brotherl - love and good fellowship did give a mixer, where the brave but timid sex should be atTorded some me.nis of meeting their fair antagonists. .And it came to pass m the month of January that the societv presented The Thirteenth Chair. and there was much suspense and great interest among the audience. Let it be known aKo that in the inter-societv basket- ball games the men were ictorioUs. while the girls were sorel tried and defeated. .And as time went on it was soon revealed that students became accus- tomed to standing before society. The. - became so hardened the were not e en afraid of examinations. So now. fellow 1-mersonians, let the illustrious record coutinui ' , ihal we ma - not be found wanting in the da s to come. Pllll O.M.M 111 . NS Some thirt -li e ears ago there was organized at Ihc .Albion State Normal School a club known as the Philomathean Literary Societw Since that time it has been one of the leading organizations on the campus. Within Late ears the membership has become so large thai it has been lound neces- sary- to ha e two branches of the societ . one for the srniors and the other lor the juniors. SocietN meetings are held e ' er - Wednesda ' evening. ITa s. talks, papers, debates, and musical numbers go lo make up interesting, instructive, and varied programs. Occasional joint meetings of the two branches are held and twice each term the junior .ind si-nior Philomatheans meet with the junior and senior 1-mersonians. It IS customar that the societ ' presents a pla to ihi ' public each ear. I ' he ) :i this ear was The Patsw a rollicking cometl in three acts. In the inter-societ ' basketball games, the Philomathean girls ' tt-am de- feated the Fimersonian girls with an o erwhelming majorit -. The Philo- mathean bo s were defeated bv the Lmersonians by a narrow margin. 1 his Near the societs ' purchased a beautiful banner which is in the sociel - colors, red and gold. It has been hung in Philomathean hall. The curtains in the hall were remodeled this ' ear with ni ' w fringe. .Most of the success and enthusiasm of ihr societ this e.ir should be attributed lo the olTicers, who hav tilled well the positions lo which the - were elected.
