Dorothy Littel Grace Jacobs Lois Sherman Again the time has come when the Goddess Sappho wishes a written record of the good deeds done by us, her daughters. The ninety-tive members of this worthy society are proud of their record, for they have maintained the standards set forth by their older sisters, and in many ways have put them on a higher level. During the past school year, a group of young, sincere, and intelligent Women met semi-monthly to present Sappho with gifts which included almost all forms of literary work. instructive par- liamentary drills, entertaining plays, well-organized debates, and beautiful music have been presented in such a manner that our goddess could not help but look clown upon her daughters with joy. The society of 1924 furthered the Fifty dollar permanent loan fund by helping to make it possible for Carl Sandburg to appear at our school. Besides the literary successes, the organization has also some social functions to remember. The initiations were always entertaining, especially will the leap year party be remembered by everyone. For these we are also thankful to. Sappho. Such suc- cesses have brought the Green and Wliite banners above the othersg we have also helped to wave the Maroon and Gray in every way possible. As an organization we boosted athletics, as well as upheld all other school activities. As we close our work, we again ask our sponsors, Miss Trow- bridge, Miss Sheridan, and Miss Miller, who have been our agents in bringing about our successes, to take this to Sappho and see whether it meets her approval. May they also ask her to bestow success upon the organization in the coming years. E' l E1
