The Literary Society As we approach the end of the term we sometimes ask ourselves, “What would Normal have been without the Literary Society?” The possibility of a session with¬ out such an institution would be difficult to conceive. So, in accordance with precedent, the Literary Society was organized within a few weeks of the opening of the 1935 term. Under the able direction of Mr. Scarrow the Consti¬ tution of the previous year’s Society was adopted. Nominations for officers followed. A hectic cam¬ paign on the part of some of the nominee-supporters disturbed the even tenor of the Normal atmosphere for a time. The results of the election appear on page one. Mr. Ralston was chosen as Honorary President. The Room Representatives on the Executive were: Room A—Grace Broad. Room B—Jim Findlay. Room C—Jean Hillhouse. Room D—Stanley Mitchell. Room E—Mrs. Stevenson. This able executive immediately set to work forming the committees to be in charge of the Athletic and Literary activities. A number of changes were made in the Constitution. The highlight of the term was the general party held in the auditorium in November. With the New Year came the new Executive, the personnel of which is given on the first page. The installation of the treasurer provided a well-remembered chuckle or two. Mrs. Hay was chosen as Honorary President for the spring term. Representatives from the rooms included: Room A—Wallace Connon. Room B—Helen Gamey. Room C—Marion MacKay. Room D—Gladys MacFarlane. Room E—Isabel Thompson. Throughout the year the programs were presented, in turn, by groups from each room. The programs were distinctly cultural and educational in nature. The spici¬ ness of variety, too, was much in evidence throughout the year. The Trial Scene from “The Merchant of Venice” and the program commemorating Rudyard Kipling might be singled out as two of the better programs. The Normal paper, “The Beacon”, a pithy, versatile publication compiled by the students, was edited under the direction, first of Kathleen Mead, and later of William Darnell. During the past few weeks the final issue of “The Beacon” has occupied the spare moments of the Executive. As intended, the Literary Society, under capable leadership and expert guidance, has provided an outlet for the talented few, supplied a fine medium for develop¬ ing the latent ability of the many, and trained the vast majority of us to express ourselves easily and to appre¬ ciate and to enjoy the thrill of participation. Regina Normal Alumni 1935-36 “Friendship is a chain of gold, Shaped in God’s all perfect mold. Each link a smile, a laugh, a tear, A grip of hand, a word of cheer, As steadfast as the ages roll, Binding closer from soul to soul. No matter how far or heavy the load, Sweet is the journey on friendship’s road.’’ Thus, through nine happy months at Normal, many deep and lasting friendships have been formed, and for that reason the Alumni Association has been organized. The members of the Society will receive a detailed list of names and addresses which, we hope, will keep many friendships unbroken. Reunions will be planned in future years, the first one probably being in the Christmas holidays of 1936.
