The Literary Societies were reor-
ganized Friday on an entirely diff
terent plan from anything ever tried
IN this school before. Each class
forms a separate society, with the
record teacher of each class as critic.
The Societies are compulsory, but
meetings are during the last period,
Friday. The Societies are named
for the first five letters of the Greek
alphabet-the eleventh grade is
Alpha; tenth. Beta, and the others
are Cana, Delta and Epsolom re-
spectively.
AT the meeting Friday officers
were elected, program committees
and committees on pins, songs. yells,
mottos, etc, were appointed. This
makes each class a unit by itself
and some extra fine joint debates
will come off soon. If these five
societies have the same effect on
the school as the two we used to
have, the other towns in this dis
trict had better watch their step.
