1926 Cedrus Yearbook

CEDRUS"1926 Philadelphian Literary Society OFFICERS Treasurer Carl Shanks Elizabeth Barnett President Secretary Robert Choate Ruth Collins Vice President "We must be loyal to a trust, act promptly, concentrate our energies, do the thing—Carry a Message to Garcia." —Elbert Hubbard. In the above statement lies the secret of the success of the Philadelphian Literary Society in the past year. The society has been decidedly successful, even though not as large in numbers as last year. We feel that the contact and practical experience gained, both from hearing the various programs and appear- ing on them, has been, and will continue to be, of greatest value. The effort is being constantly made at Cedarville College, by all those who are connected with it, to improve any branch of endeavor in which they may be interested, and the Literary Societies have not proven exceptions to this rule. The talents of the students of Cedarville are many,and we believe that Hubbard's Message to Garcia has been of greatest help in bringing them to light this year. Some difficulty was experienced at the beginning of the year in reorganizing, due to the loss of the greater number of officers of the preceding year. After a short time new officers were elected, and plans were laid for the coming semesters. No doubt it would be of interest to those who are not familiar with the work Page Sixty-four
