ALPHA LITERARY SOCIETY Peggy, darling, everybody says Alpha-Alpha--Alpha and there should be no hesitation on your part to say it too. By all means, my dear, join the Alpha Literary Society. f Each year the Alpha girls are the most prominent in the school. There R fi is sociability, too. Each spring we have a large social event that is really the V! most outstanding event of the year, except the Literary Contest, of course. This year another added feature was the debate between the Alphas and their brother society, the Debaters. Incidentally, we won. Then, of course, there is the Literary Contest, Alpha Society has always ranked high in this and we have won the contest six times. I must study my Comparative Anatomy now, but I ho-pe that I have convinced you that the Alpha Literary Society is o-ne of the most attractive Northeast societies for girls to join. LITERARY CONTEST MY CHAPEL MARJORIE KITTREDGE Clionian Literary Society My chapel was not made by man With stained glass and polished seat. My chapel is the open field ' With soft grass carpet 'neath my feet. My chapel is the forest of May With scented violets as a floor. I worship there in peace . . . alone, My chapel has no lock nor door. My chapel walls were made by God, The slim white birch and pine tree strong. My chapel roof, the sky above, The feathered choir trills sweet its song. I feel a sermon throbbing there, No one but God can teach so well . . . The way all things look up to Heavin With reverent silence in the dell. The sunlight filters through the trees, Breeze makes the flowers dance and sway The wondrous harmony of God Is glorified with each new day. And when it's time to light the lamps, And vesper hymns are echoed here, The lights of Heav'n, the stars that shine, Illume the sky in radiance clear. The sleepy birds chirp in their nests, The flowers of night bloom in the glen, The breath of eve says soft each tree, The tired world sounds sweet . . . Amen. -..gif 1 3 I 1

.6. Society Alpha Debater School THE INTER-SOCIETY DANCE The Inter-Society Dance was held last year on Friday, November 22. This dance is an annual affair, being arranged and paid for by the societies themselves. Aside from the Literary Contest, it is the most eagerly awaited event of the whole society year. The orchestra was an excellent one, and the dancers showed their approval by demanding encores. The committees which ably managed the dance were: MUSIC: 1 REFRESHMENT: Miss DeWitt, Chairman Miss Murdock, Chairman Julia Hoffman Rolena Hays Jay Lane Dorothy Frantz DECORATION: Thola Dee Settle Mr. Calvert, Co-chairman Ruth Arqnson Miss Mapes, Co-chairman Maman Flshef Betty Good PROGRAM: Maxine Ruby Miss H.

LITERARY CONTEST BANK NIGHT HELEN WILKS School-at-Large At 7:00 o'clock precisely, a little old man walked down Main Street toward the Paramount picture show. He carried a big parasol over his arm, and his clothes were tattered, obviously hand-me-downs from a larger person than he was, perhaps his son. At any rate, he wore a huge smile on his face and anyone could see that he was as happy as a child. Nothing, not even an impending cloudburst or his shabby clothes could prevent him from going to the Paramount on bank-nightn if he had fifteen cents, the price of a, ticket. This night, he had- succeeded in getting the money from his daughter-in-law, but it had taken strategy-downright strategy. He was thinking that unless he was lucky tonight, he might not be able to come again, for 8x15c is 51.20, and thatis how much he had already wasted in coming to bank-nights. He put away such gloomy thoughts as he approached the entrance and stopped to read the posters. Yes, it would be a good picture because Joe Dix was the leading character and that name implied a western thriller. Reaching into a frayed pocket, he drew forth two nickels and five pennies. With these, he bought his ticket and went inside. He was about ten minutes early and so he had the privilege of picking his seat. He walked down in front and debated over the west section or the center one. De- ciding upon the latter, he sat down and began to build air castles with the S500 that he had na chance to win. So intent was he upon his dreams, that he didn't even know the picture had started until some people near him started to clap for the hero on the i Continued on next page 5 14 Ea..- ,J H 9 i Perhaps you More about Organized ii 1917 to be A girl's socit With ranks Fifty girls ig Add the col screen.
