A 44 ' -1 Senate History, l In the year of 1905 the Adelphian Society was organized. This society cn- isted under this name until February, 1908, when the namefwas changed' to the Senate ,Literary Society. It did not take the members of the newly organized society long to establish a cred.itable position in their school. The young who had ,the power of initiative and were alert to the opportunities which meantlpractical criperien-ce, were later commended for their literary work. ' ' ' i From the first the membership of the society has been small enough to make effective work possibleg and it is not to be regretted that the societyfhas been conser- vative in the selection of new members. The boys who have remained in society were not those who wished to follow the line of least resistance but rather those who were willing to follow that of suustained effort. They have not asked merely what pleasures will this bring to me individually, in what manner will this society work immediately contribute toward my earning capacity, but ,in what way will the knowledge gained from society work strengthen me so that I will not drag on my associatesg so that I will not only pull my own weight, but be the means of ,inspiring and encouraging 'others to greater effort. In 1915 the lively, industrious spirit that prevailed in the Senate Society could be detected long before the Spring contests, Again our contestants put their society work to a test and the result WaS a rank of second place among the five literary societies. James Young and Philip Wilbur won an overwhelming v.ictory in the debate. The remainder of points which counted toward our high rank in the Spring contest were won by Sam Aikins, Oratorg Irvin Gard, Essayistg and Ralph Miller, Reader. Our society men have not only proved themselves efhcient in society contests, but in the other activities of school as well. In 1914 Dennis Almack was Editor- in-Chief of the Boomer, member of the Senior play castg Elmer Moody was Editor- in-Chief of the Crimson Rambler, member of the Senior play cast, author of Class Will, winner of the University of Chicago scholarshipg Charles Roff, Jr, was Editor- in-Chief of the Crimson Rambler and was also class orator. Of the Senators grad uating in 1915, Sam Aikins was Class President in '12 and '13, member of Senior play castg Cecil Barclay was Business Manager of the Crimson Ramblerg Ralph Miller was President of the Senior Classg Raymond Scrugham, Editor-in-Chief of the Crim- son Ramblerg James Young, Class Orator, Those who witnessed the Senior Play will remember how much of its success was due to the work of Sam Aikins, Erwin Walter, and Ralph Miller. . Another significant fact that points towards the ambition and tick t 't ' s - o-1 -iveness of the Senators who have been graduated since the last Boomer was published is that they are all continuing their school work either as pupils or teachers, Several are supporting themselves at different universities, Among these are: Charles L. Roff, Jr., and Frank Balcerkiewicz at the University of Oklahomag Jesse Romig who is stenographer for the Dean of Men, at the University of Illinois. , I When the members of the society have learned to never give up when they have gone into something worth while, and have said, We will do it, nothing on earth can prevent them from having what they want-a banner 76 society second to none.
