LEO LYCEUM The Leo Lyceum was organized during the first year of St. Simon 's high school. Since its object is to promote general culture and literature, it was suggested by Rev. Father Hayden that the Lyceum be named after one of the greatest literary men of the World-Pope Leo XIII. The constitution and by-laws were drawn up, and the colors, yellow and white, chosen as school colors. The election of Lyceum officers takes place during the iirst month of each school year, the programs consist of mock trials. musical selections, recitations and debates upon current topics. St. Simon 's Echo, our high school paper, is read and enjoyed. This acts as an agent for displaying the wit and talent of the pupils. Our priests have always acted as critics, and their criticisms have done much toward the strengthening of our weak points. Thanks is also due to our teachers, Sisters of Mercy, for the success of these meetings may be traced to their efforts to promote advancement. A meeting was held in November, of this year, a program being given by the members of the different classes. On December 17, 1915, a novel and interesting program was given by the Junior German class. Invitations, written in German by the Juniors, were issued to the Seniors, and the other members of the high school were grateful for even an English invitation.
