1925 Cedrus Yearbook

4 ROBERT LEEVER HARRIET SHIELDS HAROLD RAY MAE.MCKAY PAUL ORR Philadelphian Literary Society In the fall of 1924 the Philo Literary Society began its year's work with an in- creased membership. Our membership campaign had been a success and we added many of the most promising Freshmen to the talent we already possesecl. The activi- ties of the society were enthusiastically engaged in and we felt that the quality of our meetings was improving. After the Christmas meeting we rested for a time, but with the new semester we resumed our regular hi-monthly meetings. After this short vacation there was an increased interest in the society, and the members were anxious to keep the programs up to standard and were eager to raise that standard. An outline of the spring plans was made which embodied the purpose of the society. Our aim is to cultivate the highest ideals, to raise the cultural standards, and to plant in our membership a love for the best in literature which will continue to grow after school days are over. Our members are prominent in the activities of the school —both as leaders and as followers, so we feel that if our society can accomplish its aim we can do much toward determining the cultural tone of Cedarville College. We want to so develop the talent of our members that, just as in other years, Philadelphians will take leave with sound minds, in sound bodies—people in whom pride may justly be taken. H.S.
