In spite of the reduced membership the past season, there has been great progress made by the society. Its leaders and its hardest workers have been active in our numerous debates and oratorical contests. They have shown great speaking ability and are bound for even greater success as orators. They have won honors for our school and have strengthened its reputation for good public speakers. The achievements of our society reflect on the ardent work of its active members and the untiring efforts of our faculty advisor, Mr. Wliit- man. He has instilled into our members something of his own spirit, ambition and ability. The Zelosophic Literary Society, with its systematically arranged programs, has trained many in the arts of speaking. Every semester it is cus- tomary for us to send out a call for new members. However, we seek only those who are willing to co-operate with the other members in upholding the standards of the society and those who will work enthusiastically to reach the goal attained by many of our graduates in the past. We wish to congratulate and thank our graduating members for their continued interest and achievements in this society. The best wishes for continued success are extended to you by your brother Zelos.

'78 THE EPITOME Phillomathean Literary Society BRGOKMAN R. PAINTICR, President TTIOVVARD BOYER, Vice-Presifdent HOWARD C. FRANTZ, Treasmfer FREDERICK BERTOLET, Secretary IXRTHUR l3icCH'1'ic1,, ,Property Alan During the past semester the Philomathean Literary Society. under the cap- able leadership of our president, Brookman Painter, and the excellent guidance of our faculty advisor, Mr. Smythe, has successfully conducted a varied series of programs. These have included the commercial, technical, literary and religious phases of life, given in the form of debates, extemporaneous speeches, talks or prepared orations. Much of this success was due to the courageous efforts of our officers. They have endeavored to strengthen the society in membership and quality. Although the society was not as large as it might have been, each member took an active interest in its work. Generally speaking, the speakers prepared their talks with great care and delivered them in an interesting manner. Only on a fevv occasions were those members absent who were scheduled to appear on the program. Mr. Smythe, our faculty advisor, gave many valuable suggestions and aided the officers in making their decisions. Much of his time was spent in attending the meetings of the society and properly supervising them. . Credit should also be given to the various committees, which have all accom- plished their particular Work equally well. The Philo members of the Class of 1926 June Wish the society unlimited success in the future, and hope that it will grow to be a greater institution than it is at present.

Our membership is not very large, but the fellows that come around are all wide awake and take an active part in the clubis activities. XVe have at lastx succeeded in getting a case in the hall, and from time to time many interesting pictures can be seen there. Cn Sunday, June 6, the Camera Club took a hike over Neversink Mountain. Everybody that was along had a very good time. Many pictures were taken, some of which may be seen in the case in the hall. . The Camera Club, as usual, took many of the pictures for the Epitome. Among these are the Zelos, Philos, Debaters and the club itself. Although the graduating class will decrease the number enrolled, the incoming class will, no doubt, make up for this. Donlt forget, fellows, we have our meetings every Monday morning in room 307, and everybody is invited, especially the lower classmen. In closing, We Want to say that the Camera Club Wishes success to the mem- bers of the Class of '26 june.
