Normal Year Book, ,IO NLY a short time after the Chico debate a move- : ment was started under the leadership of Proa fessor Bland to organize a debating society. At a meeting of about a hundred enthusiastic stu- dents a constitution and code of by-laws were adopted and signed by over seventy-five as active members. The name Dailean was Chosen in honor of the Normal School President, Dr. Bailey. The purpose of the society is to advance debating as a school activity and to develop whatever talent there may be in that line. Debating, oratory, public speaking and impromptu are the special lines given attention. Considerable talent has already been de- veloped. All who are interested in debating and the other branches are requested to join the society. At a recent debating try-out for the purpose of selecting a first and second debating team, prep- aratory to the final try-out for the Chico debate, the following, af- ter a Close contest, were Chosen by the judges; for the first team- Conrad E. H. Hale, leader; Helen Hart and Mande Vines. The society hopes to develop talent capable of defeating Chico next year. a3 Mandolin Club HE Mandolin Club, an organization which has 00 cupied an important place in musical circles during the last two terms, has had a very successful and prosperous season.
