The Philothean Literary Society for the year 1953-54 was eager to begin their year's activities. This year the Philotheans had the first meeting of the school year. At 7:30 P. M. on September 21, 1953, a fine group gathered in the chapel annex to hear Paul Rathbern, missionary to Mexico. The field of work was very ably and interesting- ly presented to those who attended the meeting. Throughout the year the meetings of the society have been of help to the stu- dents and the attendance has indicated that they desire to learn more and to put into practice what is learned. Of course, there is always a meeting or so that is very outstanding: this year was not an exception. The Thanksgiving and Christmas programs presented by various members of the society will linger long in the minds of the students. ThanksU and 20 Giving were the talks presented at the Thanksgiving program. The devotions climaxed the thoughts for the evening. At the Christmas meeting, the true spirit was presented followed with devotions concern- ing the birth of the Saviour of the world. Officers leading the society during the First semester were Merrill Nicholson, presi- dent: Dorothy Schreiber, vice-presidentg Loraine Maxwell, secretary, and Bill Dun- shee, treasurer. The appreciation of the so- ciety is extended to Ronald Fisher, the fac- ulty advisor, for his help in making the meetings of more value to the students. Sneak Day is an important part of Liter- ary life. The Philotheans were very happy at the end of the day, as they were victors in practically every inter-society game play- ed. However, winner and loser alike enjoyed the entire day.

The annual Halloween party sponsored by the Philotheans for her sister society was held the last part of October. The decora- tions were typical of Halloween and a good time was enjoyed by all those in attendance. On November 16, the annual debate be- tween the two societies was held with the Philothean debaters yielding to those of the Phileusebian Society. The proposition de- bated was, RESOLVED: That the Chris- tian Day School is the answer to today's problem of education. This subject left all who attended in deep thought concerning the problems discussed. At the beginning of the second semester new officers were elected to guide the so- ciety and to put into practice some of their ideas. Chosen to guide for the second se- mester were Ronald Walters, presidentg Loraine Maxwell, vice-president: Sue Ann Manley, secretary: and Eugene Wiggin- ton, treasurer. Ronald Fisher continued as critic. Many interesting and various programs were enjoyed during the year. Highlights of every program are the Salmagundi, song service, and devotions. The year's activities drew to a close with the closing of school. The Final and main event of the year was the Open Session, presented on May 11. This is a program which is presented for all friends and former members. The year of 1954 was no excep- tion as a worthwhile and interesting pro- gram was presented for all. Throughout the year, however, it is the desire of the Philothean Literary Society to always keep uppermost in the mind of its members the meaning of the name Philo- thean, which is Lovers of God. At all times, we are striving to meet this goal more effectively by our words and deeds. ,pg--ll First row: John hiullen, Sam Mullen, Dave Evans.
