H.; Many Benefits Offered By Organizations 1/ Beginning in 1890 when they vrene first created, the literary so cieties of Mars Hill have contri buted numerous advantages and benefits to the students. The boys’ societies were first created, the Philomathian and Euthalian, and the history behind these so cieties contains a wealth of inter esting experiences as well as con flicts that have been a result of the friendly rivalry existing be tween them. Later two societies for girls were formed, the Clio and Non pareil. These were established as sister societies to the boys; the Nonpareil - Euthalian being one division and the Clio-Philomath- ian being the other. The same types of programs are given by the girls with readings and essays replacing orations and declama tions. Activities of the campus center largely around these societies. The boys present an anniversary program annually, and the girls honor their brother society in re turn with a reception one week later. Each society selects repre sentatives from all phases of pub lic speaking and pit them against their rivals at the regular com mencement contests. Medals are awarded the winners of these in ter-society contests. for whom the dormitory is fit tingly named. Honorable R. N.
