ZETALETHEAN TO spread finer knowledge and understanding of literature in its various phases and to lear11 more about contemporary authors, the Zetalethean Literary Society was organized several years ago. The girls at DeVilbiss have formed the Delta chapter of this literary group. A fine consti- tution has been framed, enumerating the various ideals and purposes of the club. A quota has been set, and the membership is limited to fifty girls. Any girl receiving an average grade of C or better in her studies may become a member of this organization, provided that she attends meetings regularly and shows her interest in the club and its aims. Cooperation has been stressed as an important factor i11 this group, and the members have willingly aided the officers and advisers. This year the officers were Dorothy Gobrecht, president, Dorothy Ash, vice-president, Jeannette Meyers, secretary, Lorraine Coombs,treasurer, Louise Rowan, censor, Janet McMahon, ehaplaing Bettie Jayne Parker, sergeant-at-arms. With Miss Mildred Pash, Miss Faye Miller, and Mrs. Anne Sutter as the three advisers, a great deal has been done for the members in both educational and social standpoints. Many interesting soeial activities were planned by the Zets during this school term, and perhaps one of the most attractive of all was the Valentine's Day tea, given for the members of the Zetalethean society in all the high schools of this city. Two formal inductions were held to install the new oflicers and members. Both of these colorful affairs were followed by spreads in the homes of various members of the organization. The members again aided the other literary societies in planning the annual Lit dance, which was quite a success, as it has been for several years. Clever sweaters were purchased this spring for the club distinctions. An impressive farewell party was held for retiring officers and senior members as a climax to the year's activites. Meetings were held every two weeks, interesting programs were arranged by Dorothy Ash, and the knowledge of contemporary authors and poets was greatly increased. At one of the first meetings of the year, Miss Rose Bloom was guest speaker. Her topic was very interesting as she gave a clever book review of Green Pastures. At other meetings, the program consisted of biographies, skits, book reviews, and readings, all given by various members of the organization. Cooperation with the library and other members of the literary councils, the members helped to make Book Week a success at DeVilbiss. With the capable committees selected at the beginning of the year, the girls have earnestly worked to maintain the fine standards and ideals of the club. Perhaps one of the finest factors in the organization is the willingness to work and the fine feeling of friendship which is so predominant among the girls. Their sincere gratitudes is intended to their advisers, and they hope that next year will be ever more successful in every way. :Sth Run-: Betty Hetfelman.

271 OUILL AND DAGGER FOUNDING the IJeYilbiss .Chapter of the Quill and Dagger Literary Society in 1933, the members have done a great deal for the school and for themselves through the promotion and spreading of their fine standards. This group is an organization for boys only, and there are chapters in the other high schools throughout the city. The purposes of this group are to promote brotherhood and friendship, not only among the members, but among other boys of this school and others, to strengthen and increase the appre- ciation and understanding of literature, in its many phases, and to provide valuable assistance and cooperation to all of the various school activities. This society prides itself upon the fact that it is able to offer both an educational and an entertaining program during the school year. It has undertaken many interesting and helpful activities, and has made a fine success of each one. Perhaps one of the most attractive affairs sponsored by the Q. D's. was their initiation, which was held at the Maumee River Yacht C'lub. A delicious banquet was held, and several interesting speeches and toasts were delivered. A large number of members, of both the old and the new group, were present at this affair. In the late fall, a roast was held at the Maumee River Sunset Park. This roast was attended by a large group of members and their guests, and was made ever more enjoyable by the additional entertainment and the fact that there was a great deal of good food for everyone. The members of the Q. D's. also assisted the three other literary societies in the school with arrangements for the annual Lit dance, which, as usual, was a great success, not only in a financial way, but also socially. - T V .' 'X . x' Cooperating with the other literary societies ,as well as with 'the entircf'student body during Book Week, the Q. D's. succeeded in contributing a great many books to the school library. At both the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons, they filled and delivered large baskets to various needy families. This fine spirit of cooperation and charity in so many ways has been one of the greater factors in the success of this club. f' This year, the Quill and Dagger Literafry Society has functioned under the able leadership of Paul Fey, president, Robert Palmer, vice-presidcntg Jack Mr-Cauley, secretary, and Edward Rickles, treasurer. Mr. Spackey has acted as adviser to this organization, and his suggestions and counsel have proved to be very valuable to the members. Matt Kolb has taken charge of the publicity this year. T ' I, Meetings are held twice each month at school, and are always attended by a large group of members. A briskly conducted business session is followed by an interesting and educational program which deals in some way with literature, and is planned and presented by various boys within the club. Colorful orange sweaters were selected as the club distinctions this year. In closing, the Q. D's. wish to extend their gratitude to their adviser and their ofiicers, who have accomplished so much for the society. i ' 'A :ith lfmr: Edward Legant.
