THE SEARCHLIGHT did his part in the World War, and when the great war was over, the Olympian Society again appeared as an organization. The Olympian Society was reorganized on November 25, 1918. The first program was given on the last day of the following month. From that time on the programs and meetings were held regularly until the end of the school year. The society gave its first entertainment cf the new term on Novem- ber 26, 1919, and the entertainment was attended by a large number of visitors. This program, and those which followed, showed the ability of the members and of the directors to cope with any requirement. Following the first program, other programs were given intermittently by the two societies every month, each and every one being a success. Our anticipation is that the good work of this society will be continued next year. SUMMER Birds in leafy treetops Singing far and near; Gone is winter’s sleeting, Summer time is here. Brooklets babbling, singing In the sweetest tones. As they go a’dancing Over mossy stones. Fairest flowers blooming In the sunny fields; Busy bees a’humming ’Mongst their dewy shields. Zephyrs softly sighing All the long day through; Roses gaily climbing Toward a sky of blue. Lovely fairy music Sounding far and near; Gene is winter’s sleeting, Summer time is here. —Catherine Breeze, ’23 Quiet, and always busy.—Lucille Renninger. Twenty-five
