iSSslKi LITERARY SOCIETY Rev. D. Janzen, faculty advisor; Irma Jantz, chairman; Lois Bartel, secretary; Henry Dueck. Peace I bring unto you. Four of the debaters: Korny, Katherine, Nettie, Peter. The Literary Society was organized to create a deeper interest for great literary works both English and German, and to encourage students to make known their own talents in this field. Various types of programs were pre¬ sented every third Tuesday. The first evening was devoted to poetry written by Mennonite authors and was concluded by a poem written and recited by one of our own student poets. At Christmas time a play, Peace I Bring Unto You, was presented. One evening, which proved to be very entertaining even for outsiders, was a program of low-German poetry and readings. A social, including literary games, was of a more relaxing type, and then, of course, the highlight of the year for the Literary Society was the debate entitled, In order to fulfill their mission, Mennonites should seek to retain their reiigio-cultural patterns. Creative expression is the road to fuller, more richly developed per¬ sonalities. College life has become more enjoyable because of the oppor¬ tunities offered to the students for creative expression in this field. 30
