PHILOMATHEAN Literary Society W INGARD Dav IS Propes OFFICERS Joyce Wingard . President, Third Term Macie Davis . . President, Second Term Elizabeth Propes . President, First Term Joyce Wingard March Essayist The Philomathean Literary Society was organized in 1897. At the time of its organization ten members were enrolled. The class of 1920 boasted thirty-eight members. In the early days of the so¬ ciety its motto was given as Virtus vincit ominia its colors, white and gold; and its flower, the daisy. The meetings were held in the halls of the hoys societies. Our literary society has grown much since those days when there were very few co-eds on the campus. At present there are seventy-one on roll. Carefully planned literary programs are given at the regular meetings which are held in the Chapel in Holland Hall. Attendance on these meet¬ ings and participation on the programs give the members of the society valuable training in public speaking and parliamentary procedure. First Row: Paysinger.

I be society had an excellent beginning, but the w ar Between the Stales brought eight years of silence to the society. After be¬ ing re-established it enjoyed a remarkable growth, which was re¬ tarded only with the advent o f the prosperous era following the World War, an era which marked the decline of interest in lorensics. Realizing the invaluableness of society work to every student, the faculty soon made two years ol this activity a prerequisite for graduation. Since then interest has been renewed and a new era of development seems to be in progress. The high quality of w ork done has been stimulated in no small degree by the rivalry with its sister society, the Excelsior. Keen competition has been evidenced in the State Intercollegiate Oratorical Preliminary contest, the March Debate, Sophomore Declamation contest. Junior Oratorical contest, and the Kendall Publ ic Speaking contest.

NEWBERRY COLLEGE ers I lie Newberry College singers were organized in the fall of I lie 1Q30-31 session by the present director, Paul Ensrud. Each year of its existence, the chorus lias undertaken concert tours. 1 hese tours nave taken the singers through all of the eastern seaboard states from Florida to New York. The organization has been selected to sing before the South Carolina Federation of M usic Clubs Conventions; the convention of the Southern Con¬ ference of Music Educators; the National Convention of the Federated Music Clubs of America; and two conventions of the United Lutheran Church in America. Last fall the singers went to Balt imore to participate in the National Lutheran College Music Festival, which was directed by Mr. Ensrud. The chorus sings both secular and sacred music, all done with¬ out accompaniment. Gown ed in scarlet and grey, the school colors, they have drawn many favorable comments for their ap¬ pearance, as well as for th eir musical performance. A number of choral compositions have been especially written for the singers and dedicated to them. The organization is on a self-supporting basis, but many sub¬ stantial gifts have been given to the group to further its work. At the time of their appearance at the Federated Music C lub Biennial at Philadelphia, the expenses of the tour were largely met by voluntary contributions from the various music clubs ol the State, and from some clubs in Georgia and in North Garolina. The members of this chorus have had to work hard and have sacrificed much in order to reach the high ideals held before them. They mean, and have meant, a great deal for the College.
