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'

THE GOPHER LITERARY HE Gopher Literary was organized and its constitution drawn up in the school year of 1899, with thirty-five charter members. The primary object of this organization is to develop the literary and social talents of its members and to bring about a stronger friendship among the students of this institution. The Gopher Literary has continued to maintain its place on the campus as one of the leading societies. In the fall of 1923, due to certain conditions and misunder- standings, the organization was temporarily disbanded. At the beginning of the fall term of 1925, because of the large number of new students in the school, the Gophers were reorganized with a membership of forty-seven students. The first meeting was held October 10, at which ofhcers were elected and a short program given. A series of very successful meetings was held during the term. The Gopher Literary, in connection with the Adelphic Literary, presented under the auspices of the Literary Union a very delightful Christmas Play and Pageant. This organization is trying to give each member experience in expressing him- self and an opportunity to develop his talents. The Gopher Literary has always been one of the first societies to support all movements for the improvement of conditions on the campus. VVhen we look back upon this school year, the associations and friendships formed in our Literary Society will be remembered as some of the happiest experi- ences of our school life. -R. T. W., J. D.
