4 26 Theta Sigma. LTHOUGH the extinction of the secret societies has been threatened by the school authorities and newspapers, and even hoped for by a few, Theta Sigma's twenty-one members still maintain the standard set by the charter members, some of whom are now teachers in the school. 1 We have experienced much help from the literary and musical programs at our Friday night meetings. Af- ter our meetings the social times, which no one can afford to neglect entirely during school days, have given us much pleasure. Although it has been said that the secret societies are detrimental to good scholarship and that the school officials who allow such things to go on under the name of the school are chargeable with grave remissness of duty we fail to see that this is so as three of ourgirls graduate with honors. ' Edith Root and Helen Ames represented our chapter at the Public given by Beta of Albany. Much import- ant business was transacted with the delegates from the various chapters and we feel that the ties which bind us are greatly strengthened. In the evening of October thirty-first, Theta Sigma entertained her friends at a Hallowe'en party which gave the girls a chance to display their decorative skill. Various mystical ceremonies were performed and our gypsy fortune teller in her corner was a great attraction. Appropriate Hallowe'en refreshments and country dances to the tune ofa nddle concluded our merry evening. p Lambda Sigma entertained us royally with a masquerade. We were also guests at dances given by Alpha Zeta and Lambda Sigma at Christmas time. Our annual masquerade was very enjoyable. i We close a very prosperous year with our annual picnic and banquet at which the old and the new girls assemble to toast Theta Sigma. . A Many thanks to the teachers who are honorary members for their help and encouragement which they have given us: to the boys for their attention and many kindnesses: to the mothers for their hospitality and interest in our work. Long live the societies and may they be the help to the students in the future that they have been in the pastq
