THE CARDINAL ©RRATORIAN SOCIETY OFFICERS President........... Vice-president..... Secretary-treasurer .William Winters ...Nathan Brown Evelyn Stanberry The Orratorian Society is out to win the cup this year and have no intentions of stopping until they do. The Histronic Society beat us last year, but they certainly won’t have the chance to do so this year. The order of the programs was arranged differently for 1930-31. Our society gives a program every three weeks instead of every month. Evelyn Stanberry. oT Y 1 29 1

THE CARDINAL A HISTRONIC SOCIETY OFFICERS Presidcut..........................................Wilma Wood Vice-president.........................Nelson Vaughan Secretary-treasurer....................Charlotte Hursh The Histronic Literary Society, the cup-winning society t’or three years, has appeared every third Thursday in the Thursday morning assembly programs. The frequency of the programs was increased this year and we have been kept busy arranging these. No one in our society has appeared on our programs more than twice and every one has been represented on one at least. We have had a variety of numbers on our programs—vocal and different instrumental solos, humorous and dramatic readings, papers, and one-act plays. Miss Hoblit sponsored our organization and she has been very efficient in putting unruly members in line. W. W.

THE CARDINAL 4 WHIMSY: JUNIOR CLASS PLAY Whimsy, a bashful young Freshman in Kantrell College, rooms with Jack Marshall. Prexy, as he is called, is the leader of the W. Y. W.’s, and they try to blackmail them. The girls at the college admire the W. Y. W.’s, and they decide to give a party for them. This makes the “Oily” Denning gang jealous. The final examination questions are stolen from the Dean’s office on the night of the party. The Denning gang accuses Prexy of taking them. At the trial the next day in the office of the Dean, all the evidence seems to be against Prexy. Before this time, Prexy was the rival of Oily Denning for receiving the Harvard scholarship. While things look rather dark for Prexy, Whimsy comes in and says that he stole the papers to help him through the tests. No one could hardly believe that he would do such a thing. The Dean accepts the confession of Whimsy and expells him from school. The next day as Whimsy is packing, all of his friends are with him, trying to cheer him, when Judith Denning, Oily Denning and the Dean come to see him. Oily confesses that he took the questions to get Prexy in trouble, and asks to be forgiven. Everyone is glad Whimsy is innocent, and they all honor him for giving himself up for Prexy’s sake.
