Kappa Gamma Society of Whitworth College. Secretary Notes, 1915-1928.
Spokane, Wash. . Original holograph manuscript. Inside cover title "Kappa Gamma Secretary Notes 1915". Bound leather journal (5 1/2 x 8 1/2 inch). 125 pages. Ink autograph entries. The Kappa Gamma Society of Whitworth College in Spokane, Washington was organized in 1915 with the stated purpose of "developing our literary talents, and particularly promoting friendship and love among ourselves". Membership was made up of students of the college. The book begins with a constitution of the club and the Kappa Gamma Song. Over the years this journal was used by different secretaries to keep minutes (usually short entires) to maintain a membership roster, and to write down events out of the ordinary. the different secretaries who sign their names in the journal are: Iva Loughlen (1915); Helen Harper (1916); Anna Mary Muir (1916); Hazel A. Peth (1917); Bernadine Inkers (1917); Esther D. Muir (1918); a gap; Lucille Buck (1922); Eleanor Stockett (1923); Delilah Barber (1923); Thelma Porter (1924); Mary Ransburg (1925); Luella Bruce (1925); Lessie Rasco (1926); Lillian Brown 91926); Mary Ransburg (1927); Leah Grove (1927); and Zada Padgham (1928). In the earlier years of the club (1915-22) the group studies and gives presentations on many then current and popular authors, such as Rabindranith Tagore, Amy Lowell, and George Bernard Shaw. They also sponsor the annual May Pole Dance. As the years go by, the society devotes less time to literary studies and more to promoting social functions. They add a Halloween Tea. As the journal of meeting minutes ends, the young women are playing Hearts and Risk, and having slumber parties and waking up to waffles. Very Good.
