The three literary societies Of the
high school held their third meeting
of the year last Friday afternoon, and
especially good programs were given
in each. Certain features of them gave
perhaps unusual interest. With the
Delta Beta society prominence was
given to musical features as the So
ciety had the use Of the piano this
time, and q reading given by Leila
Linn with musical accompaniment by
Olive Cole was an innovation that
was p~rettily done and much appreciat-
ed. Another enjoyable number was a
girls q~uartette. The members of the
Minerva Literary Society were inter-
ested in a debate on the question of
football being abolished in high school
and the negative side of the argu-
ment was strongly the winning one.
The Alpha Alethian Society was great
ly amused at the tale of Tom Saw
yer's love affair as told by Mabel
