Western State Normal Literary Society

Normal Literary Society

The Normal Literary Society is the most democratic of all societies of the institution admitting to its membership men and women from every department of the school. The object of the organization is threefold: To promote interest and efficiency in public speaking; to afford to members an opportuntiy for social activity; and to encorage a feeling of loyalty and good fellowship among the students of the institution. To carry out these aims, we provide weekly programs consisting of debates, orations, select readings and e3xtrmporaneous speeches; arrange two or three social affairs during each term, at which only members are present; and meet the students of the societies in every line of work, whether it be in the Oratorical contest or on the athletic field. Our motto, at all times and in all places, is "Advance.""

Amphictyon Society

In many respects this has been the most successful year in the history of the Amphictyon Society. Its noble ideals have been ever clearly before us, and its standard of excellence in character, literature, and good-fellowship has been constantly advancing. Standing for individual freedom and efficiency, the Society has not only given careful study to well-known authors, but also has given home talent a place on its programs. Among the especially interesting features of our year's program are the tlk by Mrs. Manny, the James Whitcomb Riley program, and the Society Chapel Play. we have confidence in our members, many of whom are seniors, and predict for them worthy and brilliant success.
