Society by reno H055 Was there ever a well-organized and modern high school complete without some sort of social organization? Even many of the most feminine or masculine members of Central High School turn brainy once in a while and surprise even the most stolid and uncompromising of individuals. Now the society in Central that has made the most outstanding reputation for having an excess of the little gray matter, more often called the brain, is the Delphic Literary Society. Miss Elizabeth Bonnell, teach- er of English in Central, is the sponsor of the organi- zation. Honor roll material comes in abundance from Delp- hic, and last year its members won the Scholastic Cup, presented by the Forum Debating Society for main- taining the highest scholarship rating of any girls' club for three consecutive semesters. Margaret Eisen- schmidt, president, was a candidate for Band Queen this year. Other officers include Rosemary Williamson, vice-president, Nina Wrainwright, secretary, Mildred King, treasurer, Yvonne Walton, pledge-mistress. Hel- en Hillhouse, vice-president of the student body, is a member of the club. In 1918 the Delphic Literary Society was founded for girls by Miss Pearl Buchanan. The present spon- sor is Miss Elizabeth Bonnell. The purposes of the club are to develop the spirit of leadership, to teach cooper- ation, and to train girls for social activities. Members who graduate this spring are as follows: Virginia Davidson, Margaret Eisenschmidt, Freddie Lou Etter Helen Hillhouse, Mildred King, Helen Meacham, Betty Sypert, Yvonne Walton, Rosemary Williamson, Lu Vern Fleak, Helen Wood, and Dorothy Blackledge. That lively Entre Nous bunch is another popular organizations. Helen Louise Goodwin is president and rules the club with an active hand. Their sponsor is Mrs. T. H. Moore, instructor of history in Central. Taking banners for good will and fellowship in dis- tributing baskets to the poor on Thanksgiving and Christmas, as did many of the other clubs, constituted only a small part of their various activities. The Entre Nous elected Central's Band Queen, Nancy Jane Dav- ies, this year by raising 312235.00 for our band. Other oflicers include Rosemary Moore, vice-president, Mary Powell, secretary, Nancy Jane Davies, treasurerg Mary Lou Fuller, pledge-mistressg Jayne Gritiith sergeant-at-arms. The Entre Nous Literary Society is the oldest club in Central. It was organized in 1911 by J. W. Irwin for the purpose of creating and maintaining high scholarship. Members graduating are as follows: Faye Evelyn Anthis, Leta Mae Brown, Nancy Jane Davies, Udell Englebrecht, Helen Ruth Herbert, Virgina Lampton, Rosemary Moore, Evelyn Palmer, Mary Powell, Mary Pruett, Betty Raymond, Lillian Seawell, Helen Good- Win, Nell Fox, Mary Lou Fuller, Mary Gorman, Mar- tha Gorman, Jayne Grifiith, and Mable Hargrove.

Gunaikes who simply are peppered in Central, meet every Thursday morning' under the able direction of Miss Naomi White, one of the most popular school teachers. It is a club that is well-worth the pride of its members. From the ranks of its outstanding members came the Football Queen, Virginia Paul, and the Basketball Queen, Irene Hoss. Most its members have excellent scholarship standings. Being- the president of Gunaikes is the job Olga Delight Sprinkel thinks is the most fun of anythingg. Marjory Gritiin is vice- president, Mary Willis Richards, secretary, Virginia Paul, treasurer, Betty Boteler, pledge-mistress, and Florence Krepps, is sergeant-at-arms. Miss Lucille Neff, now Mrs. John Dill, was the founder of the Gunaike Literary Society in 1913 for the purpose of studying the lives of great women and to promote school activities. One of the featured social events given by the club is their annual spring' banquet, in order to install the new otficers. This year the new pins that they ordered were received just in time for all the girls to wear them to it. The pins were tiny open gold books, with 19343 across them and a G guard. From this group are chosen the student sponsors of the Senate, as from the Entre Nous are chosen the sponsors of the Forum. This year Virginia Paul, Gun- aikels treasurer and Football Queen, and Mary Willis Richards, the secretary oi' Gunaike, received this honor. Those members who graduate in the class of 1936 are Virginia Paul, Regina Bonnicelli, Marjory Grif- fin, Ann Swan, Olga Delight Sprinkel, Florence Krepps, Helen Gertrude Clark, Florine Guthrie, Carolyn Pegg, Mary Willis Richards, and Betty Boteler. Last but by no means least comes Senate Sex - which is a well-known phrase around Central and more than likely you will see it on every bulletin and in every show case. Outstanding in its enthusiastic support of all athletic activities, the Senate Athletic Society has done much toward our athletic fund. The Senators have held many offices in school politics and its spon- so1', genial J. E. Sullivan, and president has led the Senate on through another successful school year in the school's history. Theodore Edwards was president until the time of his graduation at mid-term. Victor Lewis is vice-president, Archie Swanson, secretary, and
