It was decided that one program should he given every four weeks alternately. In these programs, members could appear in essays, original stories, current events, newspapers, debates and piano solos ns well as in plays. This year two plays were given which were quite amusing and entertaining and well carried out. The first was The Man Who Married n Dumb Wife. given by the Platoninns The second was The Doctor in Spite of Himself. given by the Wrytoninns. These plays weie followed in the evening by entertainments given by the society opposite the one which produced the play. Of course the main objects of the societies is for the literary advancement of the pupils. The competition which comes from having two societies encourages the members of each to do their best The results this year have been excellent. The natural talents of the pupils are brought out und with the school for an audience the scholars learn to speak before a crowd, to appear at ease and to express themselves clearly The social pait which the societies play is also important. The programs are a means of diversion and recreation and tend to bring the members of the high school into closer touch with each other. Since the Glee Clubs have been organized, their singing has been and added feature of the programs and have been grcntly enjoyed. Perhaps just at first onu does not realize the benefit of the Literary Societies, bur after a year or two their importance is easily apparent. Dolores Henry ’18

And for this reason you're behind. 5 Well I'll take German, the very last. As others have begun to know. That German will be so a thing of the past. So give me English and let me go Vhyil Kihmnnlxnu
