Lincolnian Literary Society has again shown herself worthy of the trust and devotion bestowed upon her by the host of present and former members of our be- loved society. Although a large number of members were lost through graduation and other causes, the high standards of literary excellence, which have always been synonomous with Lincolnia, have ever been foremost in the programs of the society. The Lincs were busy from the first minute on rush day and as a result, a number of new Lines were added to the ever increasing chain. The Lincolnian Orchestra has certainly added a great deal to the interest and enthusiasm of the literary programs. An excellent male quartette has appeared several times and has shown itself to be worthy of the name, while an equally good ladies' quartette has also been highly ap- preciated. There have been a number of highly spirited debates and discussions throughout the year which showed that Lincolnia may again produce a winning de- bate team. Lincolnia, with her high standards of attainment set for her by her patron saint, Abraham Lincoln, has accomplished great things in the past, and, with the exper- ience of former members at her service, will continue to accomplish correspondingly greater things in the future. As our Alma Mater continues to grow in numbers and in strength, always will Lincolnia be ready and willing to do her utmost to uphold the traditions of the school. PICNIC After a rushin, Rush Day, the Lincs betook themselves in their trusty Ford brigade to a timber at the Ryden farm. Here a roaring fire was soon kindled and after much foraging for sticks, they proceeded to roast wienies and marshmallows. Buns, pickles, apples and cookies completed the list of eats. Late in the night they returned to the city, arousing the peacefully sleeping country-side with their joyous songs. RECEPTION Lincolnia gave her reception to her new members October 29, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Eddy Dennis. The guests were ushered to the cloak rooms by little Miss Josephine Campbell and Walter Meythaler. Many Lines of former years were present with us on this enjoyable occasion. Frappe was served throughout the even- ing and victrola music furnished entertainment. Refreshments of pink and white ice cream and individual cakes were served. American Beauty roses were the sou- venirs of the evening. 1 eiael-zgi'QE5 if A? I 2 Ninety-three

Alpha Sigma was founded in 1903 because there was a distinct need on the cam- pus for a third literary society. The charter members of this new organization were in fact, some of the leading men and women in school, and they were expecting big things of the society. Throughout the years Alpha Sigma has striven to measure up to the high expectations and lofty ideals of her founders. Her members may well be proud of the fact that no society on the campus has held or holds higher literary standards than Alpha Sigma. In spite of the fact that she is the youngest literary society in school, she has added many laurels to her name. Each year has found Alpha Sigma entered in the race for the Ferris Debating Prize, and six times out of the eleven she has come out victorious. But it is not upon past records that we would depend, but upon present en- deavor and future hopes. Alpha Sigma has a very large, splendid enrollment of loyal members. Many of these were added on last Rush Dayi' and it was not long before every one had caught the spirit of Alpha Sigma, and realized that it meant standing together and working together as a unit. We, undoubtedly, have not indulged in as many social affairs this past year as we have during previous years. But we can truly say that we have' never before en' joyed so many excellent programs as have been given this year. The program on Education, on Politics, our X program, and our Mixed program are ust a few of them. Much credit must be given to the splendid corps of ofiicers we have had during the year. We feel that because of their enthusiastic leadership, Alpha Sigma has really accomplished something definite in the line of literary effort. May our hearts ever answer Dear Alpha Sigma, we love thee, Praise thee, adore thee, and serve thee: Glorious thy name through the years shall be, YVe would sing praise to thee. SIG WIENIE ROAST A Wienie Roasti' to celebrate the victories of Rush Day, was enjoyed by the old and new members of Alpha Sigma on Tuesday evening, October 12. Wliile the leaping flames lighted the autumn scenery, gay laughter and the crackling of roasting wienies broke the stillness of the woods. As the fires burned lower and lower, talks were given by the faculty members and old Sigsf' The new members also pledged their support to the society, and songs of loyalty and yells for Alpha Sigma ended Rush Day. RECEPTION Alpha Sigma received her new members on Friday evening, October 29th, at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Hill, 4407 North Wasliington Street. Red and Green, the Alpha Sigma colors, were artistically used for decorations. The guests were met at the door by Misses Nigel Hill and Grace Lendgren. At the head of the receiving line were Evelyn Hill, Mrs. Hill, Jean Thompson, president of the society, and Ruth Young, secretary. During the evening the guests were entertained with music. and delightful refreshments were served. This was indeed one of the most pleasant events of the year.
