emwewoe eoweme The Capitoline emsswelezlemzme Approaching the W1'angler lsle We see floating in the dis- tance the blue and gold banner, signifying scholarship, athletic prowess and good fellowship. This island is the oldest of the group, having been organized for twenty years. The inhab- itants of this group are selected from the cream of the school because of the rigid requirements necessary for entrance, hence great things are accomplished by it. ln maintaining the VVrangler leadership in all school ac- tivities they have succeeded in placing two men on the football, swimming and basketball teams. In debate, the primary object of the society, five of the members succeeded in making the varsity teams. The election of eight class officers and two senators shows the esteem in which they are held by their fellow students. ln dramatics the society was also very well represented and both the Editor-in-Chief and the Business Manager of the '26 Capitoline are members of the society. In the line of entertainment the society excelled in an Easter Dance, which was a wonderful success both from the standpoint of attendance and modes of entertainment intro- duced. A fall dance and an open house night were also Very successful in the eyes of those who attended. The society as a whole attribute the success of the year to the enthusiasm and cooperation on the part of Mr. Brown, the faculty advisor. The objects of the society are to promote debating and oratory, good scholarship and good fellowship, and to promote the interests of the school. - - - - - - - - -----+ 1 9 2 6 +----- - - - - - - - - -M------------+ Twenty-Three

: EmOQm5iiiQiiQOwOQwEi The Capitoline iemewal iiemewa - t'Over the rolling waves Over the waters high. The good ship 4'Capitoline', sailed on while the largest crowd of youths and maidens that were gathered together during the trip were gayly dancing mid sky-dimmed lights and slowly falling snow Hakes to the syneopation of Bradleyis Orchestra at the Thalian's annual Xmas dance. To break the monotony of smooth sailing the inter-Society debate was given. Helen Marx, Adeline Hatfield and Gertrude O'Rrien were chosen to represent the Thalians. Willlllllg a 3 to 0 decision from Swastikas and 2 to 1 from Hi-Y's brought them into the finals Where the Delphics wrest from them the silver loving cup. During the early part of the vbyage six new members were initiated. They also presented their new advisor Miss'Athans with their society pin to express their gratitude for the quick and earnest manner i11 which she had helped them with their club Work. Not long after this their mothers met with them on the upper deck and were entertained by a play, ttlVIusie and Eats. Then to their great consternation and surprise Miss Athan was married during the Xmas vacation. Miss Hays consented to be their guardian and Miss Davidson was voted an honorary member. .Wlieii April showers lightly sprinkled the blue sea Waters the Thalians f'threw their spring dance, Roche 's Orchestra playing for the happy throng Winding about in the gayly decorated hall. Then as spring parties again became the favorite pastime of the voyagers the Thalian Literary Society wishing everyone to have 'a good time on board ship, each member invited a friend to attend a party, laugh at the comedy The Mayor and the Manicure and gorge themselves on t'Nana Splitsf' But 'tNana Splitsw arc-n't always filling, at least the Juniors of the society don't seem to think so, for they loaded down the groaning tables at the Senior Banquet with so many delicious foods that the Sedate Seniors were almost afraid to laugh at the funny poems, jokes and prophesy read to them. At all the sports and events on board ship the Thalians were well repre- sented, in the Class Play, the Operetta, Capitoline Staff, Representatiyes, Varsity debate, Class officers, May Festival and Inter-Society debate. ----......-----..--4.1926 .g..-...-..---....-..-....- TwentyFwe
