Histoire administrative
A literary and debate club at the Model School from 1882 to 1917. The members (only young men) focused on improving their oratory skills, personal appearance, and general comportment, with one member serving as "Critic" to evaluate the boys' behavior during each meeting. The literary aspects of the Society led to the publication of "The Signal" in 1885--while it started as a literary magazine through the Thencanic, it quickly escaped the Society's control and became a general Normal/Model School periodical. This club ended when the Model School closed in 1917. This version of the Thencanic should not be confused with the later revival in the 1930s with college students.

The Thencanic Society's "Committee on Arrangements" put forth this report to establish a mock congress for the first half of 1894. After establishing the rules of order for the body, the committee assigned each member of the Thencanic a state to represent. Although not all of the student's names have been connected with a person, this document nevertheless provides a look into the Society's members at this time. Transcription included.
