Lucian Society Initiates, Oct. 11, 1923

Lucalian Society Initiates

Saturday night, September 29, the Lucalian Literary Society held its annual initiation service. Twenty-five new members, the largest number taken into the society in years, were initiated, making a total of 42 members.

After the initiation the doors were opened to the invited guests who included the entire faculty, Mesdames Robert Britton and Clark and Misses Myrtle Holt and Bettie Cooper of Roanoke Rapids, N.C.

The following program was given during the evening:

Piano Solo—Miss Emily Sessoms

Reading—Miss Thelma Peterson

Violin Solo—Miss Matilda Weaver

Vocal Solo—Miss Janice Ballentine

After this, chicken salad in tomatoes, sandwiches and fruit ice was served. On each plate was a tiny green or white candle burning in a rosebud holder, representing the Lucalian motto: “We make light to shine.”
