El Dorado Junior College has had an outstanding debate squad, this year of ' 50- 51. Members of the Phi Rho Pi society, the debaters have participated in seven tour- naments, finishing in the upper brackets each time. By taking part in the various tournaments and by conducting the Speech Festival in April, the debaters have further- ed the objective of Phi Rho Pi : to encourage and aid all speech and forensic activities. Tournaments attended were: Hutchinson Juco Invitational Tournament; Pitts- burg State Teachers College Invitational Tournament; McPherson College Economy Tournament; Southwestern College Invitational Tournament, Emporia; St. John ' s Tournament, Winfield ; Phi Rho Pi Regional, Winfield ; Kansas Junior College Speech Festival, El Dorado. In the last named tournament, El Dorado debate teams won the first three places. At the time of this writing, word has just been received that at the Phi Rho Pi Nationals at Houston, Texas, Matheny and Demo placed first in Debate, and McMillan and Barber placed second. In individual events, Matheny won first in two events, Impromptu Speaking and After-Dinner Speaking; McMillan won first in Decla- mation; and Demo won second in Extemporaneous Speaking.

Student nurses at the Susan B. Allen Memorial Hospital must be high school graduates, preferably of better-than-average scholastic standing. First in the three- year course comes the six-months pre-clinical period, during which time the students receive training at the local hospital and study the following courses at the El Dorado Junior College: anatomy, physiology, psychology, nutrition and cookery, and sociology. At the close of this pre-clinical period, the students receive their caps. During the remainder of the nursing course, besides continuing training at the home hospital, the prospective nurses go to the Children ' s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri, for a three-months course in pediatrics, and to the St. Louis City Hospital for a three months course in psychiatry. Leadership for the 1950-51 Student Nurses ' Organization was furnished by Jean Reese, president; Delores Clark, secretary-treasurer; Joyce Biddleman, student-repre- sentative; and Miss Flemming, class sponsor. Special activities during the year have been the February Capping Ceremony, the annual party sponsored by the Graduate Nurses Club, a Christmas caroling party, and skating parties at the local rink. In the new nurses ' home, a rumpus room, containing a pingpong table and a radio-victrola, will be the center of social activities. 32
