KN - SCCFCUZKY-HELEN CHILDRESS - ,nl Our Delphian Literary Society which was organized in 1916, has had 'Tr many important meetings this year. Last semester new members were elected, and wore ribbons of our colors, purple and yellow. Our annual social event consisted of a roller-skating party. During many meetings we discussed literary topics and the Literary Contest took up much of our time. We have had a very profitable year, and We take great pride in our society and our advisor, Mr. Calvert. LITERARY CONTEST OUR FAMILY REUNION Conzfinued won by the children at school. Aunt Fannie, who has no children mily, is telling of the happenings at vacations and honors to talk about, since she is the old maid of the fa missionary meeting, or relating something about a gentleman who used t h o pay er attentioni' in the days of long ago. When the dessert of ice cream and cake is served every woman makes sure her husband gets a large piece of her cake. , Af d' ' ter inner the young people plan to escape to the recreation room for a rand S evening of bridge and dancing, but, before such a thing is possible Aunt Fannie arises , with paper in hand and announces that everyone must now go to the living room for the ro ram. It' ' 'bl ' ' ' ' ' p g s impossi e to imagine a Reyburn family reunion without a program. Reluctantly, the young and, joyously, the old take their places in a big circle. With Aunt Fannie in charge, the program, beginning with the youngest children so that rh ey may go to sleep if it lasts too long, gets under way. Janie, who is nine years old, recites the pieces she learned at the age of Hve when she studied expression. Then another of the little nieces plays the Edelweiss Glide? As Aunt Fannie starts to announce each number, every young person cringes with fear that his turn will be next They are l' d re ieve and amused for a time while jovial Uncle Ben in a lofty tenor sings Sweet Evelina, very dramatically, as he accompanies himself on the piano. Uncle Frank con- tributes the next vocal number, Home on the Range? Aunt Madeleine really enjoys her part, for she studied dramatics and dreamed of a career on the stage, until she met Uncle Stanley. Now, an imposing, white-haired matron, she realizes her clubs and other social activities are rapidly depleting the modest fortune Uncle Stanley left her, and she is considering crashing Hollywood. She tells the assembled family that all her friends say she can step right into the shoes of Marie Dressler. Yet she, personally, thinks Confirmed 011 page 29 .IPI 19

This band of loyal girls makes the society what it is today. The . members always uphold the ideals of the school as well as the society. , A ' The Delta Literary Society for girls was organized February 25, Q 1921. Although it is among the youngest of societies, it has risen to fame for its friendliness and literary interests. This year a new formal and very beautiful method of initiation has been adopted to be used in the future. The colors are of shades of green and white. The society dresses are always of this combination and are of a different style each year. The Delta flower is the lily of the valley. LITERARY CONTEST OUR FAMILY REUNION Continued salads, cakes, and other delicacies. Aunt Martha always makes the Parker House rolls, which everyone finds impossible to duplicate. The men carry card tables, that are to be used by the children, for, in spite of the size of the dining room table, there isn't room at it to accommodate them all. p In a short time everyone has arrived. The men gather in the living room to dis- cuss business, compare the points of Buick versus Dodge, and later turn their attention to the New Dealn and the weather. The younger children slide and race across Aunt Martha's new carpet, and touch their elders, who shriek as they jump- from the electric shock. Upstairs in bedrooms, and in the kitchen, groups of mothers discuss the latest spring fashions and recipes. Dinner is soon called, and the dining room swells with laughter and talk as every- one searches for his place card. The only quiet moment of the evening comes when Uncle John asks the blessing. Grouped at one end of the table, along with four dishes of olives, are all the young people, who are none too fond of family reunions, but come to enjoy the food, and because their parents make them. From their direction comes most of the laughter and wise-cracking. Tall, handsome young Ken, at home from college for the week-end, is the center of attraction among the young feminine cousins. The conversation of the adults concerns the absent relatives, their plans for summer E Confinued on next page 18 11.3.1 4 I Row 1 Row 2 Row 3 W elected, an consisted o and the Li year, and v vacations a to talk abo missionary attentionl' every wom: After evening of with paper the progran Reluct: Aunt Fanni may go to s the upieces' of the little number, eva relieved and Evelina, ve tributes the part, for sh.
