T H E O w L twenty-three These societies have appeared at most of the Chapel exercises, also have given public entertainments and on all of the occasions have performed creditibly. There is no doubt that the musical organizations of the year are the best in the history of the Sunbury High School. A LITERARY SOCIETIES' ACTIVITIES This school-year has witnessed increased interest and activity in both Athenian and Philomathean Literary Societies. Several evening programs have been given at the .school and a contest between the two societies given at K. of P. Hall was enthusiastically received by old members of the societies, as well as by the public in general. The support given the officers of the or- ganization by the pupils has been quite satisfactory. Education is to fit one to take his place in the world. Knowledge is val- uable only when translated into action. The society work gives training in expression, and opportunity for application of knowledge gained in class- room work. The only adverse criticisms we have to make of the year's work is that from a literary standpoint the programs given at the school were of a light nature. The programs should not necessarily be funerals, but their purpose should be instructive rather than entertaining. A thought was expressed in each society this year, that is worth re- membering this year and possibly the next: Keep on improving, but re member there is always room for more improvement. The benefit you receive from your society is equal to the effort you put into it. PAUL MILLER, '22 THE LITERARY One of the rules Ohio hands down to her first-class high schools is, that they shall have a library in the school which contains reference on the various subjects taught. We are glad to say that the past four years have each seen some im- provement made in our library. The class of '17 presented the school with two sectional bookcases, which met the approval of the school inspector and saved our school from loss of charter. Last fall the library was moved to the lower floor, into the room formerly used by the Superintendent. Since then Miss J effrey, with the assistance of two boys in the school, has succeeded in indexing the three hundred and iifty books under the duo-decimal sy.stem. The Encyclopedia which had been in the school for some time was get- ting out of date, and the new Encyclopedia, the gift of the Class of '21, made a great addition to the library. Current news and literature are provided this year by the Ohio State Journal, Atlantic Monthly, American Magazine, Scientific Review and Amer- ican Boy. Next year should see some improvement in the care of magazines. It is progress like this that keeps Sunbury on top!
