iGitprary § umtirs anil €luba Edgar Allan Poe HE Edgar Allan P oe Literary Society was rather late in beginning its activities this year. The following offi¬ cers were chosen for positions in the society: Sponsors, Miss Bertha Robertson and Mr. C. W. Smith; President, Eugenia Daniel; Secretary; Helen Layne; Treasurer, Francis Lazenby; Sergeant-at-Arms, John Edwards. Following the election of officers, a number of committees were selected. The first of these, the Program Committee, has as its duties the preparation of programs for each meeting. The Membership Committee is detailed to obtain new members and also to see that the scholastic standing of the present members is sufficiently high. During this semester we have begun work on the subjects for the Literary Nights, and with the co-opera¬ tion of the students and the sponsors, we hope to win the cup. At the last Literary Night, the opposing society won the cup from us, but we hope to win it back this time. We a re thinking of having the Literary Final in the daytime at the assembly period, rather than at night. The work that has occupied the society during this semester has been very interesting, and, as a rule will help the pupils in their work. ' ■!: Sidney Lanier N the latter part of the spring semester of 1930, the Sid¬ ney Lanier Literary oociety passed a milestone on the road leading to the goal of perfect literary achieve¬ ments. It won the literary contest on the “big night.” This contest is mutually sponsored by both the Sidney Lanier and Edgar Allan Poe Societies; and since it’s one of the major annual events of the school, it is a source of much interest and com¬ ment. The Sidney Lanier members are confident of retaining the cup this year, while the adherents of the morbid dreamer are doggedly determined to win it back. At the beginning of the fall semester of 1930, the Sidney Lanier Literary Society had as its new sponsors, Miss Rathine and Miss Binford. We elected for its officers: President, Sally Ford; First Vice-President, Eleanor Caperton; Second Vice-Pres- Page Tyent y-eight

SOCIETIES AND CLUBS—Continued ident, Peggy Beveridge; Third Vice-President, Robert Juer. This, with the co-operation of every member, means a long continua¬ tion of our march of progress. Next year, the Sidney Lanier is expecting to add poetry in its line of successful achievement. Latin Club INETEEN THIRTY-ONE has been a “Banner Year” for the “Latina Societas.” It has been a year of changes in organization and operation. Until this year the club included only members of the Vergil Class, but last fall the Vergil Class consisted of six students. Consequently we de¬ cided to allow the Cicero Class to become members of the club and divided it into two parts, “Patricians” and the “Plebians.” The “Patricians” represent the Vergil Class and the “Plebians” the Cicero Class. The officers of the “Latina Societies” are: James Mallonee, President, and Eleanor Caperton, Secretary. One other change in the club is that the collection of dues has been discon¬ tinued, for we feel that each member of the club would be called upon to do his utmost in the support of the “Alipes Nuntius,’ which is the Latin paper put out by the Society. The staff of the “Alipes Nuntius” is: Eugenia Daniel, Editor- in-Chief; Eleanor Caperton and Mary Gilliam, Assistant Editors, and Sally Ford, Business Manager. The Exchange Editor, Annie Daniel, was elected from the Cicero Class. The typist for the paper is Virginia Parker. Never has the Latin paper been such a success. This year the paper has been a representation of all the Latin classes for the first time, and it has had the suport of almost every student taking Latin. The French Circle HE French Circle has had two meetings this semester. At the first meeting the officers for the term were elected. The Circle was asked to put on a program in the au¬ ditorium one Wednesday. They readily agreed to do this, and plans were made for the program. It was finally decided that the advanced French classes would initiate the beginners in this lan¬ guage. ■ C Page Twenty-nine
