Senate F zctzon Club The distinction of the oldest club in Shortridge goes to the Senate. It was organized by Miss Donnan in 1887, and still continues. Mr. Sigler is the sponsor. This year, for the first time in many years, the Senate has succeeded in downing party spirit, and in working together toward a common goal of better impromptu speaking. Another outstanding achievement of the year was the complete revision of the Rules and Regulations of the body. In accordance with a long-established custom, the Senate held a trial and a banquet as crowning events of the year. At the banquet, the senators followed the ancient and accepted cus- tom of electing oiiicers to hold in restraint the turbulent model of our U. S. Senate during the coming year. Jean Knowlton. The Shortridge Fiction Club under the sponsorship of Miss Ruth Louise Armstrong enjoyed a most successful year. At the semi-annual guest meetings for try outs , Mr. J. B. Vandaworker of the Indianapolis News spoke on Aspects in a Short Story , and Mrs. Kathryn Turney Garten, book reviewer, gave An Appreciation of Katherine Mansfield . The annual New Year's Reception was held at the home of Madeline Trent. Nine selections were written by members for the Christmas Echo. About eighty volumes of books from the Clubs' Circulating Library were donated to the Charity Dye Memorial Library.
