THE TRIANGLE June of 1921 was an inspiration to many idealistic people. Those who played produced tunes sweet and delicate, harmonizing in color, fragrance of flowers then in bloom. Humor, wit, tragedy, comedy flourished in literature. The stage was filled with actors playing their parts. Individuals came from out of their nooks and as- sembled for it was June, the closing of the school year. Oh, why doesn’t this merriment last throughout the year?

W hy does this music die out? Why doesn’t this talent organize? Such questions came to Miss Blynn’s mind. “On with the dance and with this resolution she left for home. ith fall came the first meeting of the wits. There was Fred Gliem with his saxophone, Russ Mortinger a tenor worthy of note, Eloise ebster, Margaret Moore, Alma Radike ladies of the stage. There was Ralph Pel- ton with business written all over his face, Louie Durand entered with the length of his profile with poetry on his hp s . ' . l|j ‘‘A constitution,” cried the crowd. Miss Blynn full of delight chose John Cyrnan, Esther Tripp and Celia Zimmer to scribe out a chart. Officers as it were, John Cyrnan, president, Mary Allington, Vice-president, Ralph Pelton, Business Manager, Eloise Webster, Secretary, and Louis DurancJ Sergeant at Arms. President Cyrnan then called a meeting. Full of despair was he, there was a commo- tion in the crowd for no one knew what to call the new society. Webster’s dictionary nor Caesar’s fiction could supply a suitable name. Then Miss Johnston and Miss Blynn took the matter under their jurisdiction. A “Triangle” they called it. The Society was divided into three sections. Music- ians, Public Speakers and Dramatists taking their respec- tive angles. And thus the flower opened its blossoms, ready to be enjoyed by the High School students and the community. Numerous candidates proved their merits at our next meeting, among these Reed Jerome made himself popu- lar in the Society with his piano-logue. Glenn Buck played the piano with sensation, the applause bringing him back several times. Percy Cleland, who often amuses the aristocrats displayed his skill in drawing several of the popular figures of the town.. I he Society is opened to all of quality regardless of quantity. 1 he meetings are not conducted like those conducted by other organizations but somewhat on the order of a literary society with the exception that there is more variation in the program. The organization not only encourages the individual in His undertakings but it gives him a higher place in the minds of students, faculty and community. ARNOLD METTIG, Triangle Reporter.
