THE -1928 RIZZLY GROWL . ' - . ,. ■••■; ■ EL DORADOAN STAFF Editor Clementine Bacon Social Editors Maysel Archer, Sybelee Musick News Editors Russell Berry, Doris Dace Feature Editor K athryn Kenny Sport Editor Gale Moss Sponsor Miss Cora Vaughn The members of the El Doradoan staff were selected by a committee of teachers because of some evidence of ability to write. To record college news accurately and in the approved newspaper style has been the aim of the staff this year. The power of the printed word, no one doubts, and the staff has done its best to get before the public faithful reports of the college news — an advertising medium of great im- portance to a newly founded school. Although sufficient space in which to print all its copy was lacking to the staff, it is appreciative of the courtesy of the senior high school journalism department in granting space for college news. Next year it is hoped that college news will occupy a section devoted exclusively to that or, better, that the college will furnish facilities for a separate newspaper. Twenty-nin?

THE -192 RIZZLY GROWL STUDENT COUNCIL President Eugene Sheets Vice-President Maysel Archer Secy. Treas Victor Benton Sponsor Dean Walker The Student Council was the most dignified organization on the campus, except- ing, of course, the Sophomore Class. The Council of 1917-1918, being the first student governing body in El Dorado Junior College, felt the weight of its responsi- bility quite heavily. Since the College was such an infant, the Council had to set many precedents, which will, no doubt, become traditions of our Alma Mater. Although it was not conspicuous, the Council was back of every worthwhile activity in school. It was vitally and equally interested in athletics, forensics, publications, and social life. The Council was made up of eight representatives chosen from the two classes- The president of this executive group was from the Sophomore class, and the secre- tary-treasurer was from the Freshman class. Besides the officers, members of the Council were: Sybelee Musick, Graydon Carroll, Marvin Songer, Clementine Bacon, and Mary Bass. Twenty-eight

THE -1928 RIZZLY GROWL DEBATE SQUAD Affirmative Gale Moss and Russell Berry Alternate Sybelee Music Negative Beryl Hix and Carroll Hughes Alternate Marvin Songer Coach Miss Cora Vaughn Progress of the best type has been made our first year in forensics. The debate squad, consisting of three Sophomores and three Freshmen, debated three four-year colleges in non-decision debates; it is not possible to say exactly how the decisions would have gone. Friends University of Wichita was the first college encountered. The Negative remained at home while the affirmative went to Wichita. The teams came thru in this, their first debate, and both won audience decisions. The second debate was with Southwestern, both teams coming to El Dorado. According to the opinion of Dean Allen, Southwestern Coach, both affirmative teams won, splitting the debate. Wichita University was met in the third practice debate. Both El Dorado teams went to Wichita. Mr. Harbison, W.U. Coach, gave his opinion in our favor for both encounters. The object of all these practice debates was to get in readiness for the Junior College Debate Tournament that was held at Independence. El Dorado was elimi- nated in the first round of that affair, the affirmative team winning from Iola by six points, while the Negative lost to Iola by eight points. The tournament ended with four teams tied for first place, giving El Dorado second place. Seven teams were entered. Thirty
