PART OF the “no man’s land” surrounding Avalon Home was devoted to tennis courts for the young ladies. Al- though the quality of tennis possibly is doubtful, in view of the uniforms required, the courts provided a pleasant diversion for the girls. Hail The Societies! For a host of Lipscomb students, memories of the alma mater recall at once the excitement of the literary societies. Although to a generation accus- tomed to being constantly on the move and conse- quently little interested in campus clubs and activi- ties, the societies appear patently dull, they consti- tuted the heart and core of student life in the earlier era of the school’s existence. Each of the two men’s societies, the Lipscomb and Calliopean, had its own meeting hall where regular and serious assemblies were held. Avid com- petition in debate and other forensics activities kept both groups constantly striving to excel. Ath- letic contests were held not only between the men’s societies but also between the Kappa Nu and Sap- phonean societies provided for the girls. Although the rivalry between the girls’ societies was perhaps not as intense, or at least not as obvious, each mem- ber developed a fierce loyalty to her own group and maintained it through thick and thin. Long after the societies had given way to more modern campus activities, the two rooms in Hard- ing Hall used by the men’s groups continued to be known as Lipscomb Hall and Callio Hall. Although the interest of students in the campus clubs of the present is not to be compared with that of the ear- lier times, the ghosts of the old societies must smile knowingly each year when the inter-club forensics tournament does excite some of the old-time spirit. ALTHOUGH GIRLS’ basketball was played only on an informal basis, since the one girls’ society in 1910 rendered competition impossible, some of those who did participate in the game posed for this picture in the ARK. 27
