On the aicernoon of September Bth, i9z2, the students of Goidston High school assembled in Prof. Tyler’s room to decide whether or not to reorgan ize the Longfellow Literary Society. George Alexander suggested tnat instead of reorganizing the old society that we organize two new ones and in this way create a spirit of friendly ; rivalry between the two and cause both to do better work. It was moved and carried that we adopt George’s suggestion. i Moilie Dark and George Alexander, , both members of the senior class, were appointed as leaders of the two dif i ferent societies. They chose the members for their societies as for sid • es in an old time “spelling bee” after ■ which the George Alexander division ■ went to the auditorium and there or ! ganized with twenty-four members, s The following officers were elected: ! Mattie Eva Dorsett, president; Geo. Alexander, vice-president; Grace Dark secretary: A committee was appoint ed to select a name for our society. ■ At the next meeting O. Henry was one of the names suggested and imme diately decided upon. Regular weekly meetings were held each Friday afternoon, officers elected each rhonth, well arranged programs 1 were carried out at each meeting. Special interest was taken in debat ■ i ing. We had an interesting debate i each week. We had never before real- J ized that we had such debaters right I here in our own school. We found that we had members who were capa ble of speaking without notes, they were not only capable but did it. There was a spirit of comradeship between the members of the society. Loyalty to their own society has made them loyal to each and, anxious to ex cel the other society. Each member seemed proud of the fact that he or she was a member of “the 0. Henry.” On the evening of Dec. 15, Mr. Ty ler said “something has happened in i Goidston.” That was at the close of | a joint and public debate between the ! Moilie Dark and The O. Henry socie- j ties on the question: Resolved, that! the Philippine Islands should be given i their independence. Three speakers! from each society had been chosen. l The Moilie Dark society upheld the affirmative while the O. Henry defend-; ed the negative. People had gather- j ed mildly interested, but they sat up and took notice as the debate proceed- ; ed. They did not know that such ' speeches could be made by their young folks. They bad not known much of there being two literary societies in i j school and that was what Prof. Tyler ! meant when he said “something had j happened” and that it was to be an animal “happening.” j Rev. Mitchell, pastor of the Baptist i church at Gold. ton. had given the de-i cision in favor of the affirmative with high commendation for both sides, however, and Mr. Trier’s praise of the six speakers and the two societies j mode everybody feel proud of his side j i whether it lost or not. , The spring term with extra work i did not lessen interest or loyalty. We j j all feel sure that this has been the i j most interesting society that we have j! j ever had. ! j i Our roar’s work very pleasantly i , ended Friday afternoon, April 20th, j j with a joint meeting of the two so cieties. After a short but interesting’ j program was rendered, block ice j cream and cake were served. MATTIE EVA DORSETT, ji Memberof “The O. Henry.” j WEATHER FORECAST. i The following is the weather fore cast, calculated by De Voe, for the week beginning tomorrow.
