1 N THE , 6 5 MEILQON VINE V 4,8 Progress of Congress , is val - fs' FOR THE PAST number of years, it has been customary for the 3,17 boys of the Weatherford High School to have some form of a 'vi literary society. Once before they had a Congress, but as a rule, the boys have a regular literary society. Last year the boys seemed ' li' to loose interest in the ordinary literary society and this year they Q showed less interest than ever toward the old form. Some of the Vx boys thought that our fellows would be more interested if a Congress ' ff was organized. This was done and good results followed. This Congress was run as near as possible like the Congress of 'M the United States, its officials consisting of a speaker, a clerk, a X' sergeant-at-arms, and a door keeper. In the debates which took place, instead of a limited number V3 participating, the debate was open to every member with the under- ,xi standing that no member should speak more than once. A few items not permitted in regular congress were added to the program, ' but this was done in order to keep the interest of the boys aroused. . The general purpose of this organization was to aid our boys N in securing self-confidence, give them an opportunity to think on their 4 feet, encourage them to hold their own in a debate, or an argument N 'I of any kind, so that when they step forward into the battle and P51 struggles of life they will step forward like men determined to win jg, and not like men who are undecided as to what they should do or f. what they should not do. We are not going to give the names of the officers of this 4. organization because three different groups of officers were elected wig during the past year. .WAN X lp JCM PM sig fx 4 . .
