SIWASH LITERARY SOCIETY. Our Siwash Literary Society was organizetl in 1915 untler the presidency of Howard Norris. The purpose of this organi- zation was to clisrover, strengthen, anel tlevelop the ability of its nienibers along literary lines, by requiring eat-h nieinber to appear on a program. The first year we gave two publie programs antl one in the high school assembly room. The iirst one which appearetl in the early part of the school year eonsistetl of a very interesting mlebate anal several reatlingsg but that which was probably bet- ter liked by the public in general was the lIllllSl1'l'l. given at the star theatre later in the year. This year we found our number inert-aseal to forty-eight, and we eleetetl Eugene Glassley as presitle-nt. Glen Norris View president and VVilbur Haley. secretary. Owing to the organi- zation of a tlraniatie club we have given our time to purely literary pursuits. At iYlll1'lSlll1HS several of our uienibers enter- tained the sehool with an interesting Cliristnias program, in which the origin untl spirit of that day was easnestly toltl in original or earnetl compositions and poems. Later we gave an Irish program in honor of that famous Irish Saint whose nieni- ory Ireland loves antl honors. VVe will probably give another program before the elose of the school year. Owing to so many other interests this work has been some- what supplantetl llllll, altho some of our best ineiubers graduate this year. we hope that in future years our club will do all that it has hopeml antl striveml to tlo and all that its 1131110 signifies it might.
