'IOCI Felis. A cat sedebat on our fence As laeta as could be Her vox surgebat to the skies Canebat merrily. My clamor was of no avail, Though clare did I cry, Conspexit me with mild reproof And winked her alter eye. Quite vainly ieci boots, a lamp, Some bottles and a book 5 Ergo, I seize my pistol et My aim cum cura took. I had six shots, dixi, Ye gods, May I that felis kill! Quamquam I took six of her lives The other three sang still. ' The felis sang with maiore vi Though man's aim was true, Conatus sum, putare quid In tonitru I'd do. A scheme advenit in my head Scivi 'twould make her wince I sang! Et then the hostis fled Non eam vidi since. Flunco, fluncere, faculti firedum. Speedo, speedere, copi, iinum.

F acuity Officer HE Philologian Literary Society was organized by Mr. Ayer at Madison- ville High School in 1912. When it was first organized there were four- teen members and all of them were in some way connected with athletics. During the eight years that this society remained at Madisonville there was only one student in the school who was on any team who did not belong to this society. V The purpose of this society is to promote friendship and to prepare its members for public speaking and debating. It has always been the custom of the society to have four installation sessions at which everybody was welcome. It has always had an oratorical contest and the winners were given prizes by the business men of Madisonville. Nearly every year it has given a banquet. Since it has come to East High it has not done much for the welfare of the school. It has not as yet become very well known, though all the members still hope and are endeavoring to make it as much of a success at East High School as it was at Madisonville High School.
