Q'-If-IE MIRROR 1929 C-ERIVIANAE SODALES LITERARY SOCIETY The Germanae Sodales Literary Society was reorganized at the beginning of the Fall Term, 1928, with fifteen members, most of whom were new in the society. A great deal of interest was shown and the girls did some very worthwhile work during the term. Regular meetings were held in Miss Campbells room at ll:2O on Thurs- days. The subjects for the program each time were chosen from the general Held of Music, Art and Literature in Indiana. Through these discussions and special reports the girls gained much knowledge of Indiana's progress in these arts and learned to appreciate the value of their native state's efforts to win fame. Next term the society selected as a subject for the term's work, Biography and Research. This work was just as interesting as that of the Fall Term and proved very helpful to those girls who were particularly interested in literature, science, or history. The open meeting for the Wiiitex' Term was held February ZS, 1929 in the Old Chapel. The program was as follows: Percy Grainger .,............................................................... ......... E dith Richardson H. G.

THE IXIIRROR ueaqigfgwwgu 1929 ATI-IENIAN LITERARY AND DEBATING SOCIETY This organization is one of the oldest on the campus and is sponsored by Pro- fessor O. L. johnson. Its purpose is to develop the art of public speaking among the men of the college and to foster intercollegiate debating. During the Fall Term the time was given to short speeches by the members who generally spoke on some important and interesting subjects. At the latter part of the term debates were given instead of speeches, during whcih time the sponsor selected the best talent to represent Oakland City College in intercollegiate debates. The first part of the Wiiiter term was given to the study of debating from Reeves' Argumentation and Debate while during the last part, debates were used to practice what had been learned. The debaters also matched their talent with those of other colleges during the last few weeks of the term. In the Spring term the Kangaroo Court took first place on the program. All of the court oflicers that were needed were given a position. Then followed the try' ing of suspects in the attempt to produce a case for trial. 'These meetings were usually open to all of the students and furnished much amusement to the audience and gave to the participants an opportunity to learn court proceedure. The society met for one hour each week and one term hour of credit was given to those who did satisfactory work. The officers for the year were: Fall term-President, Leland Bauerg Vice-President, Alvin Graperg Seeretaryf Treasurer, Carl Ferguson. Winter term-President, Carl Fergusong VicefPresident, Boner Barrettg Secref taryfTreasurer, George Fisher. Page Sixtyfnim:

THE MIRROR awqafcmm- 1922 DIE D-EUTSCI-IE. GESELLSCI-IAF T The German Club known as Die Deutsche Gesellschaft has had a varied history. It was founded in 1910 by a much loved teacher of Oakland City College, Miss Addie L. Bishop, at that time head of Modern Languages. After many struggles for existence the Club was again revived by the efforts of Professor H. D. Harmeyer, Instructor in German. Many interesting and instructive programs were given under his administration, and the Club lost a noble and devoted friend when Mr. Harmeyer severed his connection with the college. Professor Harmeyer's mantle fell upon Miss Elsa Mae Tyndall, now head of Modern Languages of G. C. C. Miss Tyndall is piloting the German Craft with much energy and skill, and Die Deutsche Gesellschaft is one of the most popular clubs on the Campus, and its members some of the most optimistic. The purpose of the Club is to revive an interest in the German Languageg to gain an appreciation of the great wealth of German literature, song and legendg to interpret the spirit of German social life and idealsg to develop skill in the practice of reading and speaking. To this end our programs consist of the discussion of German affairs, of German songs, poems and stuntsg of -contests and games for vocabulary' buildingg and the study of German life and customs. The organization welcomes students of German, native born Germans, or others affiliated with the college and interested in the German language. The meetings are held every other Monday evening from 6:30 to 7:30. Open programs and parties are held occasionally. The big event of the year is the christmas party at which German customs prevailg a Tannenbaum is provided, and there is a gift exchange. Kris Kringle at this time honors us with his presence. Another interesting program this year was a Saint Patrick's celebration, where Dutch' men and Irishmen met on a common footing. Our meetings are always well attended, and the happy shouts of jolly Dutchmen attest their enjoyment of this association. Page Seventyfone
