SCHOOL FRATERNITIES.
The organizations already spoken Of are
all more OF less fourishing. but there IS
one phase of Training School life that de-
serves special mention and is exceedingly
interesting-the fraternities. These socie-
ties are always in evidence and probably
contribute more 20 the pleasure of the stu
dents than all the organizations together.
When the school first opened the pupils
conceived the idea that "frats' would
greatly add TO the pleasure Of school life
and have a good influence on the social
side Of the institution. Instantly the fra

was fear that steps would have to be taken
by the faculty to keep the disease from
getting too firm q hold on the students.
However, the societies were at last re-
duced to a normal number and now play
life. mp part !" ii NneS u SCHOOL
The most prominent society in the school
IS the Hykya japanese society of senior
boys. 1t has the largest membership of any
club and on its roll are some of the schools
~best-knOWn students, including the presi-
dent Of the athletic association, captain Of
the football team, manager Of the basket
ball squad, editor and manager of the Mir
ror, treasurer OF the senior class and 9TH
ers prominent in school circles. Following
are the members of the Hykyas: Leslie
Maxwell, president; Edward Svendsen, vice
president; Stacy Lindley, secretary; John
S~tuckenberg, Albert Bernd, John Kittle,
Harry Coppock, Ralph Ii Beau, Earl Min
or. Joe Miner. Fred Deeper, Thomas
Sheerin. Sibly Everitt. Otto Mueller, Herb
kpp and Fay Van Delnse, who are now at
nifty.
Another well-knOwn society in the 1902
class IS the Sheykhs, an Arabian society,
whose members are well known in literary
and social circles. Will Wheeler is presi-
members Of the club are Fred Burnett,
Roy Howard, Harry OgbOrn, Rob Sweeney,
Lin Smith, Charles Ferguson. Glenn Did
ole, earle MOnninger and "Tooter" Quinn.
\ ~well-known girls frat" is the Puritan
Society. 1t is an important club in the
school and its officers are Lucy Ward,
L1A4~A It OSSAS lis vice DI6SlleII,
and Hazel Anderson, secretary.
The Gypsies. a June, '02, society Of girls,
pitch their tents twice a month for a
social time. 1t is a small club, but is well
known in the school. The Gypsies are
Lesette Krauss, Ada Picket, Alice Ballard
and Maud Grey.
The Senores de Fortuna, or, as they pre-
fer being called, gentlemen Of leisure"
are prominent in social circles, and their
officers are Joel Barlow, president, and
Stanley Rhodes, secretary. The Spanish
gentlemen meet every two weeks.
An important and probably the most
prominent of the girls fraternities is the
Hama Batake Japanese Society, a sister Of
the Hykya frat" This is a January, '02,
sorority and has done much toward the
welfare of the M. T. H. S. The work of
this club was highly spoken of when
Vanity Fair, the senior entertainment, was
given at the school a year ago.
Little is ever heard of the Y. s. B. Club,
and its workings are as mysterious as it's
the work Of the individual members has
done much in adding to the good name of
the school.
The b. u. G.. S. Club is one of the best
known of the social organizations. The
officers of the society are Thomas Harvey,
president, and Sumner Warner, treasurer.
These fraternities are all run on the same
plan as secret college societies, and each
has a symbol by which it is known. They
do much to promote sociability in the
Manual Training High School,, and, while
individual glory is sought, the one aim and
ambition of all the societies is to bring
honor and fame to the red and white of
the NJ. T. H. S.
