OSBORN The Lambda Delta Sigma Literary Society has now passed its fourth anniversary and has established itself as one of the most active and bene- ficial of organizations on the hill. Meetings are held every Tuesday even- ing in the chapel. At these meetings various types of programs are given. Programs of music, debating, parliamentary law, literary reviews, and readings have composed, for the most part, the regular entertainment after the business has been settled. For the first time in the history of the school a debating team was formed for the purpose of competing with other schools and the members of this team were chosen from within the Literary Society. On March 5 under the direct-ion of Mr. Osborn the club staged a play, Her Gloves, which was conceded to be one of the most successful plays ever put on at this Academy. During this year all the ofiicers of the society and the members themselves have worked hard to improve the society and have succeeded in no small measure. However, we look forward with great anticipation to the coming years and what they hold in store for Lambda Delta Sigma. On Thursday evening April 7 the society held its annual Banquet and Reception. The dining hall was decorated very attractively with the Club colors, blue and gold, and at one end was the society banner and at the other end a lighted replica of the pin. The tables also were arranged prettily. At each cover was a place card in the shape of a banner bearing the club insigna in one corner. Also there were very appropriate booklets bound in blue and gold in which was printed the menu, program, and dance order. After the banquet the students and faculty went into the chapel and there held a very successful dance. The club was very fortunate indeed to have as its guests of the evening the Hon. John E. Weeks, governor of the State, and Mrs. Weeks. Governor Weeks was the speaker of the evening and delivered a fine speech which everyone enjoyed. The affair was a great success and much praise belongs to the untiring efforts of Mr. Osborn and the committee.
