History Clubs First Meeting.
The newly organized history club,
the latest organization among the city
school teachers, held it's first meeting
Wednesday evening with Miss Alice
Lance, and from the way it started out
it promises to be greater success than
even it's friends and members expected.
1t is club of students and the mem
bers seem to find a delight IN delving
deep into the mysteries of the past to
study history, not as written in books,
but as written in legends and traditions
in the art and architecture and in the
remains which were cast along the
roadside of advancing civilization.
The meetings will undoubtedly be of
unusual interest The study of Greek
was taken up from mythology and in
the course of the evening the following
were included in the program: Dis
cussions on The Origin and Elements
of Myths" by Miss Adams; The
Olympian Gods, by Miss Adamson;
The Olympian Goddesses, by Miss
Kroncke; The Divinities of Earth, by
Miss Heating; Divinities of the Under
World. This subject was to have been
discussed by Miss Maloney, but in her
absence it was made a general topic.
The program closed with short talk
on "The Argonot Expedition, by
Miss Miller; The Trojan War, Mr..
Newberry.
The leaders of the topics acquitted
themselves creditably, showing that no
effort had been spared to make their
discussions as interesting and instruc-
tive as passible. From the enthusiasm
shown by the members of the club in
the general discussion, the success OF
the club is quite evident. The organ
izatlon of club of this kind is always
commendable, as it promotes a desire
for higher education and from social
standpoint is conducive to the bringing
together of ladies and gentlemen OF
similar tastes and desires, and there
fore is an impetus to strive and perse-
we're.
The names of the members of the
club are as follows: Messrs. Marlowe,
Newberry and Better; Misses Adams,
Adamson, Miller, Heating, Eva Riley,
Lance, Stebbins, Kroncke, Tarbell,
Maloney, Stewart, Provancel, Slater,
Yule, Fellows, A. Riley, Torrey and
Mrs. Miller.
