“A mystic bond of brotherhood makes all men one.”—Carlyle. Minerva Literary Society By cooperating with one another and with our advisers, we Minervas have made the year 1929-1930 most successful for our society. On November 1, we enjoyed a joint meeting of the four societies. Then, at New Years, we gave our annual Minerva Ball, which proved a huge success. In order to raise money, we sponsored a tea dance in the gymnasium, sold candy at the different entertainments at school, and later collected and sold old papers and magazines. In May we gave a dance in honor of the Delta Literary Society, in the Grange Hall. The last of our school activities was the annual banquet, held at the Red Brick Tavern. Officers for the year 1929-1930 are: President ................ Mary Jones Vice-President.............Edna Covell Secretary................ Grace Hillis Treasurer..............Dorothy Ritchie Chaplain..................Doris Tait Advisers.........Miss Nulty, Miss Hubbard Edna Covell. Amphictyon Literary Society The members of the Amphictyon Literary Society, during the school year 1929- 1930, have upheld the high social and scholastic standards set by their prede- cessors. Amphictyons have taken part in many school activities, including the Dean Oratorical Contest and athletic events, and have had representatives in the debate team, the band, the orchestra, and the glee club. In our class work, we have suc- ceeded in maintaining a high average. At the meetings, held every two weeks, the boys have discussed interesting and educational current topics. At the two formal initiations, one in October, the other in April, twenty new members were admitted to our society. Together with the other three societies, we planned and gave the finest Hal- lowe’en Party ever held in G. H. S. The officers for the coming year were elected at the annual banquet in May, when the senior members addressed their society brothers. The officers for 1929-30 are : President........... Robert Hazelton Secretary............Clinton Goodison Vice-President------Roswell Perrin Treasurer .. Laurence Richardson Third Member of Executive Committee ....
