The Literary Societies HE TWO Literary Societies, the Omega and Piatonian Societies, were organized early in November. The first programme of the school year was given by the Omega Society before the Mothers’ Club November 24th, and consisted of songs, essays and piano solos. Literary Societies have always had a definite place in the high school programme. They are an established thing in all colleges and universities and have spread from there to the high schools. The teachers have urged literary societies as a stimulant to an active interest in historical, political and literary affairs, and as a means of learning how to express thoughts clearly and concisely. Each student needs to learn to stand with grace before people and tell his thoughts. It has been found that literary societies always fulfill this purpose and give the student the power to appear at ease before an audience; moreover the literary society not infrequently enables the student to discover in himself a talent he had not sus- pected. During the school term each pupil is given an opportunity to take part as many times as possible. Each student appears in the part in which he is most interested, such as declamation,essays, music and debates, and current events. The programmes are really a supplement to work done in the English and history classes and aid the pupil in putting his knowledge to use. The societies have caused a good natured rivalry which only serves to create interest and enthusiam. The societies have been a benefit to the students and teachers as well as a recreation and pleasure. They have added to the social interest of the high school as well as athletic work. Various social functions and athletic contests have been carried out during the school term. Anna Dorjahn T6. Memories I was sitting by the open fire in the library one morning not long ago. The day was gloomy and it was very pleasant sitting there in the firelight. As I sat gazing into the flames, a face seemed to come before me. I thought, “whose face can that be?” And then I remembered. It was Hollace Muire, one of my old school-mates, dear old A. H. S. It seems so long ago since those happy days. Then other faces seemed to appear in the fire. They were all of my high school friends. Then I saw them as they are to-day. Golda, lone and Hollace, the studious ones of the class, are urging the tardy loiterer along the flowery paths of knowledge. Of course Dolores Henry has become an artist. We all knew she would.
