The first literary program of tn,
4 year was given by the Lyceum Liter
airy Society, on Friday afternoon
September 25, 1925. The schedule ha.
/ been changed somewhat since las
year, as the programs now are giver
only on every other Friday, the Ly.
I ceums and Mozarts alternating, thu:
giving each society a program every
four weeks. Previously program
was rendered every Friday afternoon
! each society alternating. By this
change it is hoped that the programs
will be much better as more time car
be spent in their preparation.
The meeting was called to order by
the president, Harold Brandenberg
and the new officers for the semester
were sworn in. After the prelim;-
nary business the following program
was given.

The members on the program set
standard which WILDE hard for it as
well as the other society to live I'D
to during the coming months. The
paper, the Megaphone, was made I'D
in a very different form than it has
been in former years, especially the
heading The Society is keeping a.
breast of the times, by having the
paper delivered, by airline instead of
the old way of post-office delivery.
All numbers on the program was very
good, but the leaders seemed to be
the Original Story by Blair Jones. in
which he characterized every member
Of the Faculty, as he had seen them
on trip to Hades, and the Parody on
Go Long Mule, by the female quartet.
The parody seemed to be originla, if
not it was very up-to-date as most of
the new teachers were featured in it.
After the rendering of the program
the following new members were
taken into the Society: Eva Mae
Sturm, Blanche Ware, Alma Moore.
Elizabeth Row, Arle Thorn, Harold
Row, Helen Keyser, Opal Bennett,
Sylvia Kittle, Edwin Phillips, Vir-
ginia Gall, Madge Wright, Melvina
Sherman, Virginia Woodley, Virginia
Brandon, Helen Barte, James Hillyard,
Clarence Ware, Berdie Polling, Viz
glnla Crisis, Lavenna Booth and Irene
Shomo. These twenty-five new mem !
bers, along with the seventy-nine old
ones, gives the Lyceums total men,
bership of one hundred and one.
while the Mozarts have ninety-three.
As neither society can have more
than ten more than the other, the
Lyceums lack only one of fulfilling
their quota. /
