Debating P ' lHE question for debate by the Junior College Conference this SR year was, Resolved : That the United States should immediately recognize the Soviet government of Russia . In addition to this topic the team debated the question Resolved: That the United States should cancel the War Debts . Both questions proved to be very popular. Beginning the season with two veterans, Paul Belknap and Paul Harvey, the team was strengthened by the addition of Robert Friers, James Finkbeiner, John Richardson, and Ira Butterfield. The season was opened on February 14th with a debate between Bay City ' s nega- tive team and the affirmative team from Port Huron J. C. Richardson and Finkbeiner made up Bay City ' s team. Belknap and Friers defended the affirmative side of the Russian question against the negative team from Port Huron in an unofficial encounter. The team made its first trip on February 24th, at which time they met the teams from Jackson and Spring Arbor colleges. In the after- noon Bay City met the team from Jackson in a scheduled debate, and in the evening the teams met Spring Arbor. The next engagement was at home against Highland Park J. C. Harvey and Butterfield defended the affirmative in the official contest, directly after which the locals defended the negative side in an un- official tilt against the team from Highland Park. This was the occasion of introducing the Oregon style of debating to J. C. The teams made a quick trip to Flint where Belknap and Harvey met the negative from there and won the only judged debate of the season. Friers and Fink- beiner met the affirmative team in an unofficial contest at the same time. The debating season was closed by an over-night trip to Muske- gon and Grand Rapids. Bay City defended the affirmative in the official debates in both cities. According to our debate coach, Mr. Klingbeil, Jaycee ' s team this year has had one of the most successful seasons in the history of the college. [21]

Cramer, President; Allan Fischer, Vice-President; A. William Orr, Secretary and Mr. Shellenbarger, Advisor, the Engineers ' Club had one of the most successful years in its history. More interest was shown by the men than ever before, and this was in part due to the splendid programs arranged by the Vice-President and the program committee. After planning a schedule for the year, the committee had as the first speaker before the club, Mr. Long of the Consumers Power Com- pany. Mr. Long spoke to the group about the history and evolution of the electrical power industry in Michigan. For the second meeting the Engineers joined with the Tetra-Sci Club, to hear Mr. Grebe, director of the Physical Laboratory of the Dow Chemical Company. He lead the combined group into a research of the homes of the future. As a continuation of the scheduled program, Mr. Harrison, city chemist of Bay City, spoke on water purification and its results. Many interesting and startling facts were disclosed by Mr. Harrison. The Engineers- Club again had the privilege to hear one of the research chemists of the Dow Chemical Company, when Mr. Arthur Winston discussed Dowmetal. He told of the extraction from the earth of the salt of magnesium which is the origin of the metal which finally makes the alloy. He also pointed out the special uses and features of this comparatively new alloy. Once again the Tetra Sci Club and the Engineers ' Club met to- gether, when Mr. Clark, Bay City chemist, gave a talk entitled The Events of One Man ' s Lifetime, a Glance Backward and a Look For- ward . In this address, Mr. Clark told of the industrial progress of man and then gave some of the wonders which man may enjoy in the next few years. As a fitting conclusion to this program, the club made several field trips to plants of vital interest to engineering students. [23]
