ALATHENIANS HOLD FIRST
MEETING
Saturday evening, October 13, the
Alathenian Literary Society held its
first regular meeting of the yar.
After the assembling of the mem
bers the meeting was called to order
by the President. Mrs. W. K.McLean
was elected Chaplain for the year
1923-24. Following her election Mrs.
McLean assumed her duties by read
ing the 19th Psalm.
The first number on the program
was ‘*The History of the Alathenian
Literary Society’* by Gladiola Parker.
In her clear, interesting way Miss
Parker related to the Alathenians
many interesting facts about the or
ganization of the Society in 1912
from the old C. 0. V. A. Society. The
musical numbers were: violin solo by
Camilla Manson and a piano solo by
Mildred Riggs. Moella Askew read
“Tom Sawyer’s Love Affair”, and was
enthusiastically applauded.
In the “Aims of the Society” by
Edna Lassiter and “The Duties of
Each Society Member” by Ella Mae
Parker the members were made to
feel the importance of their loyalty in
maintaining the motto, “We seek
truth and Wisdom”.
The Secretary surprised the mem
bers by announcing an impromptu de
bate, “Resolved: That the new girls
have an advantage over the old girls”.
The affirmative was upheld by Vida
and lola Bryan. Those on the nega
tive were Lois Essex and Gladys
Clary. Each debater spoke with en
thusiasm and conviction. The judges
rendered the decision in favor of the
negative.
After a very favorable report by,
both the Critic and Censor the society j
adjourned by singing the Alathanian
song.
