Delta Sigma Literary Society Nov
In Third Year Of Its Existence

The Delta Sigma Literary Society
was organized in the winter OF 1919.
1t was composed Of the Seniors and
Sophomores, and was supervised by
Prof. H. d. Beachley, Miss Kathryn
Robb, and Miss Evelyn Routzahn.
Efficient officers were elected and the
name Delta Sigma was chosen. These
Greek words stand for our motto,
which was to be, and has been kept
a secret from the remaining students
who were forming at the same time
a society of their own.
The object in organizing such So
cieties as these was to teach the boys
and girls to express themselves freely
before an audience, to give them
broader views, and to train them along
literary lines.
The first year our society did not
make much progress, because the
work was new to all of us and we
lacked initiative and enthusiasm.
The second year marked much pro-
gress. The society became real
up-to-date organization. Having all
of it's various committees in place, it
got down to hard work. 1t adopted
a constitution and every month was
prepared to contest with the other So
ciety, the Philokalean, in joint meet
ings,
In the weekly meetings, as in the
joint meetings, opportunity is afford
ed the students to speak and recite
in public, as well as to conduct the or
ganization. Business is transacted
in true parliamentary fashion. Dues
are paid each term by each member;
fines are imposed for absence and
non-performance of duty; and
treasurer's and a secretary's report
is kept.
However, the literary society does
more than train the mind along liter
ary lines and enable students to speak
freely; it also affords training of a
social nature. Since the Delta Sigma
Literary Society was organized it has
given to the Philokaleans three par
ties, o Christmas party the first year
"yesnie" roast the second year, and
a Halloween party this year.
The teachers at the head of the
Delta Sigma Society at present are

Stull, Miss Margaret Shipley, and
Miss Evelyn r. Routzahn.

We're the Seniors of T. H. S.
Of all the classes we're the best.
Of our position we're very proud,
We're never troublesome nor a bit loud

In work we rival the best,
In athletics we rival the champions,

With physics the class sails forward,
To the goal of acid and salt,
And because we all know our lessons

This seems to be Seniors fate.
We're the ones who put the "pep"

Delta Sigma Entertained Phiiokaiean

On Monday evening, October 81, the
Delta Sigma Literary Society enter
tanned the Philokalean Society at q
Halloween Party given in the High
School Auditorium.
At 1880 D. m. all were invited to en-
ter the auditorium and were greeted
with a hearty, wet, cold, and clammy
handshake by the ghosts in the re-
ceiving line.
The room was elaborately decorated
with leaves, fodder, witches and cats,
while at one end of the room for
tune-teller's hut reposed (but not
peacefully all evening). A sober old
witch, guarding a great black kettle
in which was a fortune for each, was
made conspicuous upon the stage by a
background of fodder leaves and Ian
terms. Two merrymakers, masked
and dressed as clowns, threw confetti
among the dancers and "raised rum
pus."
A program consisting of a mock
athletic meet, which was in reality
nothing more than various eating and
talking races, which gave enjoyment
to those who did not take part in them
as we'll as those who did. Each con-
test counted so many points, the
classes battling for first place. How
ever the Senior class covered itself
with glory by carrying off the laurels,
followed closely by the Sophomores.
Into third place dropped the Juniors,
and last, but not least, the Freshmen.
After the contest was over, and the
prizes awarded, dancing and other
Halloween games filled the evening

Student Government in High Schools

Student Government In hlgn Schoois
Among other important and new
high school questions comes the one OF
student government. This scheme has
worked IN colleges. Will it not work
in high schools as we'll? This can
never be answered by the faculty or
by others in authority; it is left en-
tirely to the students to prove their
qualifications for membership in such
an organization.
What does student government
mean Does it possibly mean that
any student may do as he or she
pleases, nay time, any where, and un-
der any circumstances whatsoever?
Does it mean that the student should
conduct himself, or herself, as his, or
her conscience dictates, and according
to the laws of etiquette?
1t means, in reality, that the stu
dents must sign a pledge card to the
effect that: first, they will neither give
nor receive any help during examina-
lions; second, that they are in honor
bsund to report any one so doing.
This pledge is the backbone of student
government, and an essential to the
organization. Your signatures gives
the teachers feeling of faith, and a
trust that you will do the right and
honest thing as you have agreed. Fur
thermore, student government means
that no teacher will be in charge dur
ing examinations but remember,
there is your pledge. Your teachers
trust yeu, will you break your word !
If college students are to be trusted,
can we not be trusted also? Let us
prove It!
Another innovation which comes
with student government Is the stu
dent council, elected by the pupils, and
from the pupils. All culprits are ar
raigned before this council, which has
the power to expel and to dismiss
those who do not keep their agree
ment.
Although the carrying out of this
scheme tests the character of the pu'
pills to the utmost, this training is
well worth our while, for it teaches
the student self reliance, a most es'
sential thing to him after he leaves
school.
Are we, in the high schools, not old
enough, honorable enough, and con-
scientious enough, to make this plar
a success? Remember, it is not fo,
the teachers alone to decide for us
but it is up to US, too. Let's n,ai1'
it go.

OPEN FORUM
The Election

There is vast difference between
the recent, election and the one year
ago. There was a great landslide for
the Republican Party last year, but
this year it was almost showed under.
What is the cause of the elections
going from one extreme to the other!
Is it not because there are so many
weighty problems hanging over our
country today which cause a spirit OF
unrest among it's people? There is
no doubt that the laboring class Is the
greatest factor in bringing about these
changes in elections. With six million
citizens out of employment today, we
can easily see why this element in our
population would jump from one par
ty to the other. They were disgusted
with affairs after eight years Of a
democratic administration and desired
a change, but it seems that within a
year they have begun to tire of the
present administration. Another
cause of the democratic majority was
President Harding's recent speeches
concerning the negro question, which
were resented in the South. These
undoubtedly caused the South to re-
main unbroken.
The Democratic Party may seem
flattered over the recent vote, but it
should not become overconfident, be-
cause so many voters did not live up
to their duty as citizens and refused
to cast ballot.
