8 RE-ECHO THE LITERARY SOCIETIES The three major literary societies of Falls Hi were organized in the fall of 1916. 1 hese soci- eties are the Delphian, Chestnut Burr, and Ath- enian. The first captains were Anna Slattery, Raymond Hibhard and Marie Richardson. These societies were organized to promote an interest in literary activities. At first all the members of the Hi school were allowed to be- come members of one of these societies, but, be- cause of the growth of the Hi school, member- ship has been limited to the 11 A, 12B and 12A classes. The officers of the societies are as follows: Athenian—President.......................Clark Williams Vice President...... Secretary..................Virginia Knoske Delphian—President........Margaret McCorkle Vice President.......Theodore Mayer Secretary.....................Frank Francis Chestnut Burr—President..................Lonas Phillips Vice President.....Irene Pack Secretary.................Elma Brenner Treasurer...............Clella Sutton INTER-SOCIETY CONTEST The Second Inter-Society Contest of March 28, 1924, resulted in a tie. The first contest which took place in 1923 was won by the Del- phian Society. Each society had three contestants, chosen at preliminaries held by each of the societies. The contestants were: Readings—Chestnut Burr, Irene Pack, “American, Sir”; Athenian Thomas Murray, “My Pipe”; Delphian, Margaret Mc- Corkle, “The First Kiss”; Orations—Chestnut Burr, George Markwalder, “Football”; Ath- enian, Oswald Anderson, “The Next World War”; Delphian, Forest Richardson, “Friend- ship.” Music—Chestnut Burr, Phyllis Billings, vocal solo; Athenian, Isabel Bucklin, piano solo; Delphian, Mignon Bryant, piano solo. The results of the contest were very unusual; each society won a first, a second and a third. The winning society was to receive a cup. but since there was a tie between the three societies, the name of each was engraved on the cup. Individual prizes were awarded by Mr. Rich- ardson. Irene Pack, Oswald Anderson, and Mignon Bryant received three dollars for first place; Forest Richardson, Thomas Murray and Phyllis Billings, two dollars for second place; Margaret McCorkle, George Markwalder and Isabel Murray, one dollar for third place.

PRELIMINARIES FOR THE TROLLEY LEAGUE CONTEST In the preliminaries for the Trolley League Oratorical contest there were five contestants for the reading—Virginia Knoske, receiving first place, Marion Orth, second place, Irene Pack, Thomas Murrary and Clella Sutton. There were two contestants for the oration—Helen Roethig and Oswald Anderson. Helen Roethig was chosen to represent the school. The faculty acted as judges. Clella Sutton. ’25. TROLLEY LEAGUE LITERARY CONTEST The fifth annual Trolley League Literary Contest was held Friday evening, April 11, 1924. at Ravenna High School Auditorium. The “Falls Hi Gang” was there in high spirits, and with the signal given from our cheer leader the Falls crowd was the first to sound the praises of their school and contestants. The contest was very interesting and enjoyed by every one. It was with great suspense that the crowd awaited the judges’ decisions. There was a loud roar of applause from the Falls sec- tion when Air. Layton, President of the Trolley League, announced that first places were given to our contestants, Virginia Knoske, Reading, and Helen Roethig, Oration. They were then awarded gold medals for themselves and silver cups for the school. Honorable mention is due to the Boys’ Glee Club, especially the comedian, Donald Burns. We feel sure if there had been cups or medals awarded for the musical numbers, our glee club would have received them. We know that the other members of the Trol- ley League now realize, if never before, that “we don’t stop until we’re on top and there we’ll always be.” THE PRELIMINARY DERATE The preliminary debate was held Monday morning, April 28th, in the high school auditor- ium. The following pupils tried out for the teams for the triangular debate: Irene Pack, Douglas Joachim, Forrest Richardson, George Hankey, Alma Wood, Oswald Anderson, Gor- don Phillips, Arthur Smearman, Charles De- wees, Anna Hoiles, and William Booth. From these, eight were chosen to represent us in the triangular debate. They were for the negative team: Arthur Smearman, Charles Dewees, Anna
