[Selections From] OUR SECRET SOCIETIES
"Talk Only in Self-Defense"
Carrie Henry, Silent Persuader Mary Morris, Secret Service Agent MEMBERS Ethel Pugh, Gertrude Evans, Florence Gerber, Pollard, Boal, Bicht, Eagan, Gay, Frank Hoffman A strict press and speech censorship is observed between the members of this club, and when asked for news, the answer invariably is, "Indeed, I don't know."

Bertha Aregood, Queen of Flirts Sampson, D.D., Prime Minister COURTIERS - George Hamilton, "Jack" Whitehouse, Cliff Roehrig LADY ATTENDANTS - Sayde Ziebach, Renie Kline, Mame Gerhard Dick Sharp is the club's authorized agent, and if you are in want of a mate, call on him and he will arrange matters to your entire satisfaction.
CINCH CLUB
President, Miss Kaercher First Vice President, Joseph Purcell Second Vice President, Miss Parkin MEMBERS Mr. Collins, '99, Mr. Sharp, '98, Miss Huntzinger, Mr. Schertle,* '98, Miss Olsho, '00, Mr. Daddow, '00 *Mr. Schertle was expelled for having too much to say. Owing to the smallness of the membership, this club dispensed with the Secretary and Treasurer.
RIDING CLUB
"'Tis Folly to Walk."
Very little of a definite character is known of this club, as a clause in its Constitution and By Laws positively forbids its members to speak of its business or secrets in the presence of anyone not belonging to the mysterious circle. Several detectives have been long at work upon the case, but have discovered nothing more noteworthy than that the club's "ponies" are secured in lots from a Philadelphia firm which deals in contraband goods, and that the girls comprising the Senior division in Latin are among the most influential members, and fill the most important offices. Some of the Middlers have been admitted, but the Juniors are still on probation, though several have striven hard to lasso a "pony" somewhere.
NOTORIETY CLUB
We, a few stranded individuals, desiring to rend the veil of obscurity and become better known to the world, do hereby band ourselves together to secure our mutual advancement. The objects of this club are three in number. First and chiefly, - The exaltation of its members. Second - The promotion of the departure of any students objectionable to any member of this club. Third - This club shall be composed of members of the faculty and students of this school. All members are required to take an active part in the proceedings of the club.
MEMBERS McLaughlin, Griffith, Atkins, Weston, Miss Jennings, Miss Aregood, Miss Jenkins, Miss Zerbey
