. iaomonv 515131. Eurkist literary Snrietp impart When we hear Yorkist, what comes into all of our minds? Perhaps it is- 0h! T.hat's just the best little society in the school! or The Yorkists can't be beaten no matter what comes or goes l Yes, 'that's what we all Uhink and what we have .is spirit. We stick to- gether alvways, we are good losers, generous winners and above all we're loyal. Perhaps there are many who wonder where we get the names for our literary societies. If you remember any of your history you will remem- lber that a good many years ago in Englaaind there was a. war called, The War of the Roses. Now there were two opposing forces known as the Lancastrians and the Yorkists and the Lancastriaafns chose as their emblem the red rose, whiile the Yorkists took the white nose. So when one con- ceived the idea of organizing literary societies here in hiiigh school it was finally agreed ufpon that they should be named from this great event in his- tory. We are still opposing forces b-ut of oourse do not fight with the same spirit thvaft the Lancasftni-anis and Yorkists of old did. Our society was victorious lin the finall contest last year, but even we must say that it was ta close victory. Let us go on bringing viotory tio our society, but Yorkists we must always remember ithiaet one side has to win and that has to be the best side. So if we d.on't oome through victbriously we must always be ready to give the other fellows a cheer. A VIRGINIA BOON '24 President of Yorklist Literary Society Page furry-one
