THE PHILOMATHIAN SOCIETY The Philomathian Society was organized September 1924. The name I'hilomathian is also derived from a Greek root meaning lovers of learning. Many subjects were taken up during the year. Some of which were the study of the American Indian, getting acquainted with the Irish, and others with lesser subjects. Among the more notable organizations within the society were the Agony Quartette and the Tritette. Both of these were organized for the purpose of getting acquainted with music.

RAYMOND CARLSON JOYCE OSTROM DECLAMATORY 1924-25 is the first year that Braham High School has ever made any serious attempt at declamatory work. This year the High School joined the State Declamatory League. Twelve students enrolled for the work and took part in an elimination contest which was held in the High School Assembly. Four boys, Verner Bergstrom, Clarence Skjod, Leslie Schwarten, and Raymond Carlson, and three girls, Mae Johnson, Victoria Edberg, and Joyce Ostrom, were chosen as winners. A final elimination contest was held two weeks later when three local judges chose Joyce Ostrom and Raymond Carlson to represent Braham High in the sub-district contest held at North Branch March third. The judges at this contest awarded the honors to North Branch, both of their contestants getting first place. Our representatives were awarded third place. Both deserve much praise for the way in which they upheld our school. Much credit is due Miss Widing who, as coach, stood by them and helped them through all their trials and difficulties. iczvz 1:-:'-' 1:-1: znzczai 'zz-ri :-1: 1. 1- 1910111-I-4:-is -.. e- -1--:Q '-:Q
