if' 'f Q CAREY MARTIN sHALLENE Literary Association OFFICERS Lyle Carey .... ....... P resident John Martin. . . .... Vice Presiderzt Milda Shallene .... . . .Student Jllauagcz' The interest and prestige accorded literary events in school is due, in a large degree, to the Literary association. Organized in recent years for the purpose of placing the forensic and journalistic enterprises on the same basis financially, and to coordinate the work of all literary activities of the school, this organization has been a very decided success. The American principle of organization and consolidation has been most effectively applied to the literary activities with the result that their importance in the daily lfe in the school increases yearly. Since in all organizations the officers are the living embodiment of its spirit and purpose, a large part of the praise for the splendid work of this association falls to the officers who,,this year, have so successfully piloted it. .iw H'-.4 ac: X 'Jil ' jf, .5 , 111
