universities throughout the State. The list is long and it would indeed be a task to endeavor to do justice to each and every one of these young men. However, among the most important of these are Mr. Randolph Coleman and Mr. Lamar Sherertz, of Roanoke College, Mr. Hugh Stanard, Mr. Lynwood Keyser, and Mr. Frank Lemmon, of the University of Virginia, Mr. Harris, of Virginia Polytechnic Instituteg and Mr. Morris Masinter, of Wfashington and Lee University, who covered himself with glory by winning the debater's medal at the annual celebration of the literary societies of the school. The Society can be justly proud of its representation in the larger schools through- out the State. All of these young men say that they feel their success due to the excellent training received in the Society here. Our Society, through the skill and efficient training of its members, has honorable recognition throughout this section of the State. May this reputa- tion never be lowered, but may the standard of the Society continue to be carried farther to higher realms of distinction and honor!

fflfistory of the ffIeffersonian'lilerary Society OUNDED in the fall of 1909, the jeffersonian Literary Soci- ety has made rapid and successful progress and now ranks as an indispensable feature of our high school life. The Society set out with the object to train its members to be competent and successful debaters and orators. Vlfe can well be proud of our success in accomplishing this ob- ject. The record in contests with other school societies is indeed an enviable one. Out of four schools debated we have won three, making the number of victories balance well in our favor. The first debate held with another school was with Daleville College. In this debate we were defeated by a few points, but nevertheless, a good showing was made, and brought the Society recog- nition. The next debate was with Randolph-Macon, and this time we were successful in defeating an old school rival. Then came the debate with the National Business College, in which we also came out with another victory to our credit. After a lapse of about a year, we again tried our skill with another old school rival, the Lynchburg High School. Again victory crowned the Society, bringing happiness to the members at having defeated an ancient rival. Not only do these victories in debate prove the success of the Society, but the individual skill of the members has been successfully demonstrated in two inter high school contests. At the Brookneal meet in 1911, Mr. Morris Masinter, a member, distinguished himself and brought honor to the Society by winning the debater's medal. Again, at South Boston last spring, Mr. Koehler won distinction for the Society by capturing the declaimer's medal. This was the first time a member of the Society had tried work in this branch of oratory, but with this good record established it is safe to say that many more members will attempt this special work in the future. Wfith so enviable a record thus far established, it is the most sincere wish of every member that the Society may continue to win fame in both these branches of oratory. Many young men have gone forth from the school, and by their early train- ing in the .leffersonian have established splendid records in the colleges and 79
