    Ten years of searching archives and following club activities at Clark College has still not uncovered the mysterious, secret societies here.
     Amanda Norris said, “For some reason these societies have developed ultra secret methods of operation here at Clark.” Norris works for "In The Light," a citizen watch-dog group that keeps tabs on secret societies on college campuses. 
    “At every prestigious university these societies exist, and although they are secretive, they don’t hide their existence completely,” Norris said.  “It worries us that the societies at Clark have worked so hard to remain undercover.”
    “There are so many difficulties tracking these groups at Clark,” Shawn
    O’Malley said. O’Malley is a Political Science teacher at Clark.  “Unlike a traditional university or private college, Clark has such a diversity of students.  We have working adults, night students, students who didn’t qualify to enter four-year institutions or don’t have the money to attend those schools.”
    The question for researchers to determine is what group these ultra powerful secret societies are drawn to.  So far it has been impossible to determine that.
    “Since these groups are the movers and shakers in our world, the King-makers, so to speak, we must look at who would be useful to them and their mission to accomplish global domination,” Norris said.  “Would they be interested in the dental hygiene program?  The nursing students?  Maybe mechanics and machinists?  Any of these groups could be possible tools to leverage power in our society.  We just don’t know which ones are targeted for the privileged entry into these powerful, secret societies.”
    One student on campus told us anonymously that she thinks the group "Realm Runners" is the focal point of a society called the “Quill and Dagger.”  This group is a mainstay of Hannah Hall.  “They talk openly of killing goblins and fighting ice mages.  They are experts on +10 battle axes and the properties of various elixirs.  It is the perfect language to encode secret messages,” the student said.  “I had a friend that got involved with that group.  He has dropped all his classes, yet he sits in Hannah Hall arguing the merits of leather armor versus chain mail for warrior/thief classes.  He must be referring to some deeper, hidden knowledge because it really is too boring for anybody to talk about on a daily basis.”
    Several calls to the “Skull and Bones” Chapter at Yale bore no fruit.  The director there would only give a first name of Allen, and he denied any presence of the “Skull and Bones” at Clark College.  He acted ignorantly by saying things like, “Where is Clark College?  Is it a private or public institution?”  Upon hearing the answers to those questions he started laughing and denied any involvement in two year institutions.
    “These blatant denials are examples of these societies’ desires to cover up their existence here,” O’Malley said.  “They are obviously protecting the existence more fervently at Clark.”
