and the dignity and ease with which our meetings are conducted are proofs of the fact that we have succeeded in what seemed at first a hopeless task. XYe trust that the foundations thus laid may be built upon by those who come after us in such a way that the Longley Literary Society shall become the most potent factor for higher ideals among the girls of Miller School. Let each girl ever keep before her our motto: None holds the palm of victory that does not wiu it in the dust hi.-XBELLE E. l5oo'r1-I. JL ' 7 ' ,ilcgii gs ' -'J X ' f I :iii Stl . 'W rt' - 4.

History of the Longley Literary Society HE Longley Literary Society was organized on the 21st of December, IQO3. Wfe owe the organization to the inspiration received from the first public meeting of the Vawter Literary Society. At nrst the number of girls was few, and the questions of parliamentary law seemed obstacles never to be over- come. For five months our meetings were held in one of the schoolrooms, but the members worked hard to overcome every difficulty and to fit themselves for the beautiful hall they could see in their dreams. june came and We parted, bidding good-bye to our literary work, some forthe last time, others to return and take it up with renewed vigor. September saw us back at our Work, and the beginning of the making of Longley Hall. Gur numbers steadily increased, as did also the determination of each member to achieve something in the literarv world. Cn the 3d of December, IQO4, we dedicated in a public meeting our hallla hall that any organization would be proud to call its own. At present we have forty-one active members and a splendid corps of officers. 74
