THE ECREMMOC LITERARY SOCIETY. THE Ecremmoc Literary Society was founded by the boys of the class of 1910. It is for senior boys only. Athletic activities took up much of the boys’ time during the fall term, so much, in fact, that the lack of a quorum at times prevented any transaction of business. The coming of the spring term, however, seemed to bring life to the Ecremmoc Literary Society. A meeting was called at the beginning of the term, and most of the boys responded. Officers were elected at the first meeting, and the initiation was held shortly after. The club then went after things, and a great deal of work was done. New ideas were brought in, and old ones done away with. The club picture was taken on April 19, but on account of unforeseen demands, many of the boys were absent. Later the Ecremmoc Society held their semi-annual dance and enjoyed it very much. A great deal of credit must be given Messrs. Gehring and Gordon for the success of the Club. To them the Society is heavily indebted for the new ideas brought about. We are all hoping that the classes following shall continue the success which prevailed in the class of 1914. CARL GROTH.

THE COMDRA CLUB. HE Comdra Club of Junior girls believe that “A little nonsense now and then Is relished by the best of men. And it is because they are convinced of this, that they meet once or twice a month for a good time together. Sometimes the meetings are of an entertaining nature, and sometimes social. For instance, this last term they have had many interesting talks on Places of Interest in Cleveland. At these meetings, nothing is a greater surprise than the discovery that many of their members have unsuspected vocal or instrumental talent. Between these entertainments are initiation days, when new members, without a murmur, eat pints of cornmeal, or burrow in flour to their chin, so anxious are they to become members of the Comdra Club. Then there is always the Taffy Pull, when every one—even the faculty—gets stuck up. And last and most longed for of all the days, is the May Party, which ends the year of helpful and happy times together. The success of the Club is due largely to the zeal and persistency of Miss Hadlow, our adviser, who has been our stand-by in everything. AGNES O’MALLEY, '15. OFFICERS OF COMDRA CLUB. Spring Term. ..
