At the beginning of the fall semester a course, g Principals of Argumentationn was announced, open to all students interested in inter-collegiate debate. This course was conducted by Mr. Kirby, and the prospective debaters were taught the rudiments of argumentation and debate. g From this class the following teams were chosen: the negative, Ida Miller and ' Frank Clampiltg and the ahirmative, Carol Mason and Loren Salisbury. ' I Q 7 The question was the one chosen by the colleges in the Kansas con- ference: Resolved: That the United States should cease to protect by armed force, capital invested in foreign lands except after formal declaration of war. . The debaters first met the Pittsburg Teachers College in a practice 5 debate, and came home somewhat encouraged. After this followed much hard I work and drill on delivery under the supervision of Coach Kirby. g The process of elimination, this year, was also an experiment, in the ' form of a debate tournament. Our debaters had the misfortune of drawing I Kansas City Junior College, one of the strongest teams in the conference, and lost their first debate, thus eliminating them from further competition. This i is not Said as an alibi, however, because the grades for these debates were i among the closest of any in the tournament, and the debaters were content to Q know that they had done their best. I The outlook for next year is very bright, with two of the regular debaters Q back and several good ones coming to us from the high school. O U I 3 Page 16 l I I E .Q - ii' 'if':'U' if !

We com- peted in only two meets, the Baker relays, and the state meet. In the state meet, which was held at Iolaf we took third place, which was an excellent record for our first trial. This spring our prospects are brighter than they were last year, because, while we have only one letter man back, the other members of the team are not inexperienced. While they have had no college experience, most of them have one or more high school track seasons behind them. The first meet was held at Parsons on April 12, between Parsons, Iola, and Independence. In this meet we placed second, winning seven firsts out of a possible fourteen. Parsons took the same number of firsts, but won more sec- onds than our men did, thus winning the meet. On April 28 part of the team went to Baldwin, taking part in the junior collage events of the Baker relays. In this meet we made an excellant showing, winning third in the mile relay, and second in the sprint relay. At the time the Inkanquil went to press Coach Kirby was planning several more meets. At the state meet, to be held at Parsons May 12, I. J. C. has good prospects of winning first place. The team is well balanced and the men are all working hard to be in the best possible condition.

Dramatics Although there is no regular dramatic department in the college, there has been some excellent work done in this field. Miss Austin directed and pre- sented a one act play Suppressed Desires , and the annual college play, Smil- in' Thru . Suppressed Desires is a comic satire on Freud. With Tessiana Blakeslee as Mrs. Brewster, Bernice Shile as her sister, and Dick Peck aS Stephen Brewster, it was greatly appreciated. 'tSmilin' Thru , presented March 23, was enthusiastically received. The action of the play took place in England during the time of the war. The plot is a combination of two love stories, that of Kathleen and Kenneth Wayne at the present time, and of John Cartaret and Moonyean Clare fifty years before. Outstanding among the characters was Richard Sturges,who made a lov- able and pathetic John Carteret. His blustering was highly contrasted with the Quiet dignity of Fred Goodwin as Dr. Owen. Sylvie Knothe showed real talent in her change from the dainty little Kathleen in the first act, to the matured and saddened woman in the third. Tessiana Blakeslee took the difficult role of Moonyean. George Crane and Floyd Colburn, in their portrayal of John Carteret and Dr. Owen fifty years before, showed great ability. Dick Peck took a double role, that of Jeremiah Wayne and of Kenneth Wayne. Much ofthe success of the play was due to the superior coaching of Miss Austin, and to the students who built the scenery and the costumes and flowers.
