sw fpagktzzcu 2-'N HE PARTHENIAN LITERARY SOCIETY came to life in the year 1912. An enthusiastic number of boys and girls attended the first meeting, elected officers and appointed com- ' mittees for the selection of colors, motto, and flower. The next few meetings were made interesting by debates and readings. The Society is now in its infancy but it promises to become one of the best literary organizations. The spirit that is shown by all members in taking part in the debates is remarkable, and at every meeting new members are enrolled. Qui' aim is to follow the examples of the ancient orators after whom we have named the Society. Every two weeks, on Friday afternoon, the Society meets. Two or three business meetings have been held, no program being carried out. After the opening of the 1913 term, new officers were elected. The next meeting' we were challenged by the Jeffersonian Literary Society to a debate. 111 this we were victorious and were greatly encouraged to con- tinue our literary efforts. In the future we hope to be as well known as the 1-ligh School societies. Wfe trust we may meet them many times in debates, Members of the eighth grade alone are eligible to membership, while we remain active members for one year only. Still large thing-s may be accom- plishcd in a year's time. Wfe wish to thank all who have helped us in any way, and feel that in time they will be repaid in seeing us a strong society, one to make the hearts of the founders proud. GIENEVIEVE QITTNN, 116. 33
