Last Friday was election day for
the four literary societies. The Off
GERS for the Athenian society were:
Lloyd Evans, president and Ben Hor-
ton, secretary. For the Irvings: Fran
els Franklin, president and John
Haven. secretary. The Vinitians
chose for their president Miss Hilda
Gatewood and for their secretary Miss
Marion Mcfarland. Miss Rose Gill
was elected critic Of this society. The
Mastersonians postponed their cleo
ton until the next meeting. There
was much improvement in the pro-
grams OF this time. especially with the
boys societies which have heretofore
been considered very poor. The sys-
tenn of grading the work done in these
societies was established Friday and
this leaves another subject to help us

The library is being decorated with
T. the different class pennants, the cham
pionship pennant. presented by the
Lyric, and the trophies won by our
athletes. This is one of our most inn
portant departments of the high school
and we should try to make 1t one OF
the most attractive rooms and one
that we will be proud to show to our
visitors.
Monday morning Prof. Sullivan held
general council in the assembly
hall to see whether or not the track
meet was wanted by the boys at home.
Short speeches we're made by several
of the boys all of which showed an
enthusiasm for the meet that has
never been shown in Vinita high be
fore. A greater number of students
intend entering the meet than have
ever done so in the previous ones
Muskogee is preparing to take the
meet there, but because Of the cen
trail location, Vinita has the more lay
orable place. We have the grounds
the athletes and the enthusiasm 81
there is no reason why Vnita higf
school should not only bring the NEE
here but win it as well.
