SOROSIS The Sorosis Literary Society was founded in 191-I with the impor- tant purpose ot promot- ing the reading and appreciation of good literature. This prin- ciple has been carried out in various ways since that time. Among several speak- ers who have appeared before the society were Rabbi Markowitz, who discussed the L.tera- ture of the Bible, and the Rev. Mr. Rocca, who read a group of poems by American au- thors at the Christmas meeting held at the home of the society advisor. The girls are en- couraged to produce their own literary et- forts tor program duty although the work of experienced authors is also read, including short stories, poems and essays. The Soro- s s Scrap Book, which was started several years ago, is given in turn to each girl who contributes some poem she has especially en- joyed. Several times a year the selections from this book are read in the meetings. All girls who are above with an average no lower than B are eligible to which Rooms IHA or attend the meetings are held in the Club on every second Thursilay. ln other years the elub work has been kept to one partir- ular class of literature, but this year the work has been more general.
