Bessie Nachazel E112 iknnizxn Eliterarg Snrictg MARGARET OWENS Since the beginning of colleges and academies such organizations as literary societies have been necessary and Ellsworth Academy can boast of such a body, the Aonian Literary Society. This organization together with the Academy boys society, now the Philo- mathean, was jointly organized under name of Aonians about the year 1900. Nearly six years later the society divided into two separate groups,-the girls then becoming the Aonian society of which we still are proud. For twelve years the Aonians have faithfully kept this body together in order that every girl below college rank may have the privilege of taking part in Literary work and many girls who are in school for only the twelve weeks term find the work beneficial in preparation for their teaching. For the critic and advisor a lady faculty member is chosen. Mrs. Stout held this place from the time of the organizing until this year when Mrs. Reynolds became critic.

CHAIR-I do dismiss you, But Debate! could not you and I With this stern Recorder conspire When We come together Weakley That we might grasp this sorry scheme of Things entire, Shatter it to bits, and then Re-mould it nearer to the Hearts Desire. Adjourned. SCENE IV. CTh-e curtains are drawn back we see a semi-circle of chairs about the hearth. In the rear can be seen the banquet table in disorder, Wine glasses are upside down, the linen laying in rumpled heaps.j Alethean and Phi Delta have departed. Society dressed in the deepest mourning, leans back in her cha.ir and looks- With unseeing eyes into the dying embers. Preparation somewhat older in appearance, but with a sweet contented smile upon her face reclines comfortably in her easy chair. f Debate stands erect with that satisfied NI told you so expression upon her ace. Declamatory makes a stately bow and as she turns to take her leave of thfe assembly, a tear is seen glistening upon her fair cheek. Chair sits erect a haughty and disdainful expression upon her stern face, and nods authoritatively. Pseudo disheartened and drooping bemoans her fate. h f,Jest With a mournful sigh drys the tears from her eyes with a lacey 'ker- c ie . Confidence smiles contentedly the radiance of her beaming face sends a gleam into the darkest nook. Coquette is dancing gayly about whispering to all of the joy and happiness she brings.

Open programs are usually given to which everyone is invited and at the close of the school year the Philometheans and Aonians give a joint open pro- gram. These help in preparing a student for his life after school work is over. The programs consist of Debates, Reading, Parliamentary Drill, Orations, Themes and Extemporaneous work. The chief purpose of the society is to develop in each girl self-reliance and the power of working out her own topics. lVe may truthfully say that anyone wishing to receive the best there is to be had in school life can make no mistake in joining such an organization as the Aonian Literary Society. l HILOM,'Vl'HE.KN Li'l'EliARY SOCIETY Osee, Brown Meuer, Schipull, Stockdale, Thorson, Beamish Kaplan, Hendrickson, Prof. Himmel fCritic3 Scrieber, Burroughs, Paulson Seebach, Nachuzel OFFICERS.
