S. P. Q. R. CLUB

THE FULAMBEAU LITERARY SOCIETY By MARIE MADSON ‘Say, what sort of a society is that Literary Society of yours? Do you ever do anything at your meetings? Can you girls conduct a meet- ing?’’ For the benefit of all those who are asking such questions, we sub- mit these lines. Our. meetings have been held regularly, and something instructive and amusing has been done at each meeting. Miss Campbell is our faculty adviser. Though our club is not large, yet it is very active. All the members are very eager to do their share. Speaking of the club as a whole, we might say it is quality, not quantity. Of course both those terms may apply to some of us. Perhaps one reason why we have managed so well is because Dorothy Stangel, Marie Damez and Goldie Golden gave us such a good start when they gave us a pantomine of The Courtship of Miles Stand- ish. I think the rest of us must have been trying to keep up that record. We had a debate which was good and was really enjoyed. Then we have had other meetings at which stories were read or told to us. Some of the girls sang and others danced for us. When Eva Thompson or Karolyn Geigel or Esther Thompson get up to tell a story we know we are going to hear something good! How Grace and Mollie can dance! —and Marion sing! Then there are Bessie Nielsen and Marie Guttmann who are always ready for some fun. The mock severity of the censor is often greatly taxed by them. And here we nearly forgot to mention Sylvia, Evelyn, Leona and Calla! They are so quiet! Louise and Hildegarde are good members. They are always present and always do their allotted tasks very well. So do Olene and Vivian. These are two of our good debaters also. But Hertha and Gladys, why don’t you come a little oftener? We miss you! So now, what’s the matter with the Literary Society?

THE FLAMBEAU S. P. Q. R. By MARTHA BROSE S. P. Q. R., or the Latin Club, was organized in 1918. It consists of about fifty members, all girls. This club is organized differently from any other club at school, because it is like the Roman government. The members are classed into three groups, the Senatores, Equites, and Plebes.. The Senatores are those who are taking third or fourth year Latin; the Equites, those taking second year, and the Plebes, those taking first year. Then, there are also the associate members, who have taken Latin at some time or other, but are not taking it now. These are not allowed to vote or to hold any office. The club meets every other Thursday. At these meetings, the program consists of music, playlets, games, feasts, and many other interesting features. The officers are elected every semester, and those for the year were as follows: FIRST SEMESTER - Mildred Schuette pee) Vee - Hildegarde Johnson Censor - - - - - - - Evangeline Lueth Praetor - - - - - - Laura Gaterman - Mollie Rahr Aediles - - - - - - - Gertrude Spoentgen - Norma Thompson SECOND SEMESTER Poke 2... sett. ow eee McCarty - Evelyn Hougen Censor - - - - - - - Martha Brose Praetor- - - - - - - Do rothy Gruhle - Augusta Nielsen Aediles - - - - - - Ethel Reinfried - Margaret Sommers - Agnes Pederson -Margaret Danielson Dictator - - - - - .- Miss Liebmann Trpunes «es = = The club has been very successful and we hope it will continue in its good work.
