Arthur Jones, Thomas Fowler Gamma Sigma Literary Society passed its fifty-eighth year of ex1stance w1th the usual success and attainment. Her men ree presentedthe school in every line of forensics and were prominent in other 11nes as well. . - Gamma. Sigma enjoys the distinction of being the oldest literary soc1ety 1n the northwest, being founded in 1863. ' Thru; out the' many years of her life she has done much to further the platform accomplishments of so many of the graduates of Pacific who have left and are leaving their mark upon the world in the realm of the public speaker. - - Her list of former members includes, in the words of her famous old song, ttlawyers and preachers and doctors and teachers, many of them prominent in state'and national affairs. The society puts special emphasis on debate and this years graduates presented a silver cup to 'be awarded to the freshman making the most progress in debate throughout the year. The cup was won by Ellis Stebbins, whose work on assigned discus- s1ons was always thoroughly done and whose improvementwas more noticeable than that of any other member. The annual society event of the year was in the form of a six oiclock dinner banquet held in the Crystal room of the Ben'- son hotel in Portland. Cars took the party from Forest Grove to the city where they joined the old members, makmg a gath- ering of nearly 'a hundred members and guests. The. theatre party at the Baker after the banquet was equally wellOenjoyed. The society feels well satisfied with the accomphshments of the year and looks forward to a contlnuance of thesame proflt- able work during the coming year. MEMBERS IORS SOPHOMORES ' .
