A few years ago, after the dividing of the school into two groups, to the lot of each side fell the naming of the society. The word Histronic, pertaining to drama, was selected. Much interest was taken, and we have succeeded in winning the silver cup for the last two years. Of course, it is our aim to do so again this year. Early in the fall of 1929, we met and chose our officers. They are as follows: President................................James Wharton Vice-president...........................Charlotte Hursh Secretary and Treasurer..................Kathryn Robbins Due to the interest of its members, the Histronic side has had a very successful group of programs. Drifting away from the monotony of variety programs, they have produced a few short plays, much to the approval of the student body and the faculty. Who will carry away this year’s cup remains to be seen, but we are sure that no little competition will be given for that honor. 8

 —THE CARDINAL' ACTIVITIES “Sometimes when going along a country lane, you may see a brilliant flash of red or hear a melodious burst of song. That will be the Cardinal, for he is as scarlet as his name implies, and his song is as distinctive as his coat is beautiful “He is a frolicsome creature, and seems to have never a care. How could the coming of Spring with all her beauty be complete without the gay, active little Cardinal?” -2 7

We used the best talent of our society and we are sure that our programs made a good impression. Our officers were all new, our members enthusiastic, and we decided to make an excellent showing. The main object of the societies is to create an interest along the line of literary and recreational work, and, as each society had only three programs this year, every one was made to count. We have won only one cup, out of the three years that these societies have been organized, but the opposing, society has won over us by only a small margin. Our motto for this year is, “Wc CAN and wc WILL9. Our officers are as follows: President.................................Cleona Stephens Vice-president............................Nathan Brown Secretary-Treasurer....................... Helen Paxton Assistant...................................Bonnie Kruzan - 29-
