'Q hr Gbmlgf ., 'l' + Sf jLntvrz1rg.i THE OWL LITERARY Actions speak louder than words, the old adage states. This fits the Owl Literary Society very well. Two years ago this society was at the lowest ebb of its existence. It looked as if our society must be disbanded. But there were a few determined members who would not let the old society die. Through their loyal efforts the Owl Literary was built up again and is now one of the strong societies on the campus. Every Saturday night at 6:15 in room 217 in the Engineering building a splendid program is put on by the members of the Owl Literary. Each Member takes an active part in helping to make these programs a success. Last fall the Owls met the Eagles in a debate and won by a two to one decision. This victory gives them a chance to win the debating cup tllis year. Because of the large number of Freshmen and Juniors on the roll, the prospects are good that the Owl Literary will be as progressive in the future as it is today. The old members realize the value of belonging to a literary. Do not miss the opportunity of belonging to a literary society and taking part in its work. The training received there cannot be found anywhere else on the campus. -C. A. Page One Hnudrcii Tfvvul-v-forlr '

THE EAGLE LITERARY HE Eagle Literary affords many opportunities not found in the class room for acquiring knowledge and experience in Public Speaking. This society gives us an opportunity to find out what our abilities are and a desire to develop them. Every member takes an active part in the programs which are always full of wit and educational value. The members enjoy themselves while they learn. After the program we have our famous fun hourf' There is no such thing as a best literary on the campus. They are all good, having the same purpose to fullfill. We believe that the Eagle Literary has fulfilled this purpose. We have former Eagles, who are successful in all walks of life, as farmers, homemakers, college students and politicians. They attribute much of their success to the training they received in the Eagle Literary, where they learned to rid themselves of that awful stage fright and to express their ideas intelligently and with conviction. Some students visit all the literaries on the campus before they join one. This may be all right, but they get only a few hours of enjoyment during this visiting period. A person does not receive real benefit from a literary society until he takes an active part in its work. The success of a society depends upon the interest and loyal support of its members. Support your literary and it will be successful. The Senior members wish the Society success in the future and hope it may keep on prospering as it has in the past. You can only soar as high as your wings will carry you, Eagles, so let us see you soar ! -E. W. B. Page One Hundred Twelity-si.1'
