The Commencement of 191 7 will close the most successful year in the history of the association. 'We are proud of an organization in which Every Member Is An Active Member. li-nat is realized in this association,-that is our motto and we have tried to live up to it. This association met in regular session every two weeks-on Friday nights. Good attendance was the rule, men were the means, and much good done was the result of each meeting. We organized in September with seventeen members. One of our members, Brother C. M. Killian, joined Conference in November, and is now doing active work with the Amarillo Mission. Every member has an appointment to preach at least onceia month at :nome of the surrounding school' houses. Two of our members graduate this year. We hope they will carry with them some inspiration gathered from our associations here,-we hope they will be inspired in the future by recollections of this Ministerial Association, and its work. I We do not profess perfection, but we are striving toward that end. We are sorry for our mistakes, and are glad of our successes and victories. Facing the future we push on encouraged, by the blessings of our efforts. 69

V Q Q Y I g wflzr CI' f sv tj is -as, A L -XX X The Panhandle History A little over a decade and a half ago several young men imbued with ideals of a model society set themselves apart and formed the Panhandle Literary Society-a society which has since been a fulfilment of the hopes and dreams of the charter members. Formed from those sturdy and self-reliant youths of the Panhandle who are pitting their strrength against the world in an effort to wrest from it the benefits of education and culture, the Panhandle Literary Society stands today foremost in progressiveness, aggressiveness and loyalty. The reasons are apparent for her remarkable success in oratory and debate. Our society has built itself upon an everlasting foundation, for among its unwritten laws-as unchangeable as the laws of the Medes and Persians-on the principles that every man shall have the same chanceg that no man shall become so autocratic as to dictate the course of the society and that everyone shall put forth the maximum of whole hearted and loyal effort or endure the odium of his fellow Pans. Successes have been many. For the last seven years the Panhandle Literary Society has won the oratorical medal and now there is no medal offered which the Pans do not hold the greater number to their credit. But the greatest success achieved has not been the number of medals won but the speakers and debaters the society has turned inlto the world to sit in congress, to teach in the faculties of varied colleges, to become lawyers, preachers and above all, men. A 4 5And when the new students come next year they will find in the Panhandle Literary Society a progressive organization founded on those principles of democracy and useful- ness which past generations of Pans so loyally defended and which the present and future generations are and will carry on to victory.
