The Beowulf society last year sent the debating team as representative of the school. This year it has the honor to send one member of the debating team and both Senior and Junior declaimers to the country contest.

This, the first boys' literary society organized in San Benito, was founded in 1914, with Robert Brooks as president. In that year its representatives in declamation won first place in the county contest. The debators won first places in the county and district contests and were sent to the University of Texas to the state meet. They were the first debators to be sent to the state meet from the Valley.

In 1915 the society was so large that it was divided. It sent one declaimer to the district meet and a speller to the state meet. This year at the beginning of school declaiming and debating were again taken up. They have one representative on the debating team which will go to the county and finally, we hope, to the state.

History of the Junior Literary Society. The Junior Literary Society is new organization composed of freshmen and sophomore girls, with Miss Helen Spears as faculty representative. On October the thirteenth, the girls met for organization.

The class in Agriculture was small this year but more than made up for it in quality. The course consisted of the study of the prescribed text, laboratory experiments and field work. The school garden provided a pleasant and profitable variation from the regular routine school work. The cabbage crop was a great success and the high price made it almost necessary to guard the patch with a shot gun.
