Last Philonian Meeting
Harold Conner was the host OF the
Philonian Debating Society at the
home of Richard Quigley. Derry and
Eighteenth streets. With this meet
ceased to exist. Because of the small
number of boys remaining in Cen
trail. the members of last years So
ciety instructed the 1919 members to
this year. The Philonian has been in
existence since 1908, and, with the
exception of the Demosthenian Liter
ary Society, is the Oldest Central So
ciety Many of it's old members are
now prominent men of the city and
State, and clearly recall the DAYS
when the P. D. s. afforded them many
pleasant evenings together. Although
the society was organized primarily
for the promotion of debating, it has
always aimed to combine the social
life with the educational. The dances
given annually by the Philonians
have always been among the largest
hops given by anv of the school So
cieties This year has been no less
successful than the previous ones.
Five of the society's members were
members of the two victorious debat-
ing teams representing the school this
year. and in recognition of their work
the society presented the school with
handsome loving cup several weeks
ago. The P. d. S. is now a thing. of
the past but its influence will be felt
in Central for many years to come.
