'- X lr1EI?ll ll. A 1 gg ' me In time year 1902, yvhen the University Preparatory School first came into existence, the students were organized into a rhetorical class. In this class they Weie to iemavm until it was seen t-hat they were capable of forming societies. lt was not 10115, 11011' ever, until they reached this condition. Two societies were o1'S21H1Z9d, Af-99111219 fm' the girls. and Fergusonian for the boys. U ' U Verne Shartel was chosen first president of the Athenian Soclety. I V At first only girls of the upper classes belonged to the society. Later girls ot t110 C ' class, sub preparatory, were admitted. The Athenians took for their motto Labor omnia vincit, which means labor con- quers all things. This' motto was given to the society by Miss LUCY Gfeell, H1911 3 member of the society, since a member of the facultyof our school. They took as their model Athenia, the goddess of wisdom and of household arts. They chose blue and white as their colors and the white Carnation as their flower. Alter the organization of the two societies, they began to have contests. The first of these was held in 1903. The Athenians were beaten by a very small per cent. In 1904 another contest was held with the same outcome, but in 1905 the Athenians won. In 1,906 the membership of the Athenian Society was so large that they found neces- sary to make a division, accordingly twenty-seven girls sent in their resignations and founded a new society, to which 'they gave the name Literatae. .The work done -by the Athenians in 1907 was good, though they did not win in the spring contest. lu 1908 the Fates were again unpropitious, and fair Athenia went down in defeat. But in 1909 the Athenians won the v' -t 'f l tory may come. ln the year 1912 the Athenians won over the Sorosis in basket ball In 1913 tl . . iey won the debate, and also won over the Literatae in basket ball with a score of 22,-2 Th f A 1 ' V - , . - . ey u on soconc place in the essay in 1914, and wele society champions in basket IC 011, slowing that through defeat vic- ball. ln 1915, instead of holding their annual reception, they used the monev in the treasury and a special collection, to send to the sufferers- in Belgium, H The present outlook of the Athenian Society is hopeful. 84
