Girls’ Quartette The Girls’ Quartette this year consisted of Eleanor Bull, first soprano; Maxine Ben- nett, second soprano; Nina Stevenson, first alto; and Florence E. McLaughlin, second alto. Anna Jane Wham, Soprano, and Doris Hartman, alto, served as alternates. These girls have been faithful in practic- ing and have had many enjoyable trips. They broadcasted sacred programs from WAIU, in Columbus, every third Saturday, from Octo- ber until February. These programs demon- strated the ability of the instructor, Mrs. Work, and the safe trips through icy roads, wintry Saturday mornings proved her skill in heavy snows, and dense fog on those dark driving. The girls sang in Xenia at the O. S. and S. O. Home, the Kiwanis Club, and some of the Xenia Churches. They sang in Clifton, West Jefferson, Ross, and for various church, school and club programs in Cedarville. The quartette enjoyed singing together and accredit much of their success to their tireless and patient training by Mrs. Work. Male Quartette The personnel of the quartette this year was the same as last year. Their experi- ence in singing together contributed to the harmonious blending of their voices and to their subsequent popularity. Their interest in music was rivalled by their shire in other extra-curricular activities, Nevertheless, they were all faithful in attending rehearsals, and the records show a busy '«« Txrrntyonr

Preston Garlough; vice president, Eleanor Bull; and secre- tary, Ruth West. A large share of the honor for the club’s achievements is given to the worthy director, Mrs. Work. Her splendid leadership, together with equally splendid cooperation of the members, soon started the chorus on the road to success. At the Home-Coming Banquet in February, the chorus presented two groups of secular numbers; April 15, the group broadcasted an Easter cantata over W-AIU in Colum- bus,, and presented the same contata, entitled “The Lord of Life,” Easter evening in the local Methodist Church at the Union Service. Miss Dorotha Corry has been the accompanist for the year. The Girls’ Glee Club The Girls’ Glee Club, composed of twenty-two mem- bers and its capable accompanist, Miss Dorotha Corry, has been doing splendid work this year under the supervision of its new director, Mrs. Work. The officers of the club are president, Jane West; vice- president, Doris Hartman; secretary, Carma Hostetler; and librarian, Florence McLaughlin. The club has made numerous public appearances. It sang at the Boys’ Bible Reading Contest, the Day of Prayer for Colleges, Wilberforce University, the second United Presbyterian Church in Xenia, the Parent-Teachers Asso- ciation at Ross, the United Presbyterian Church in James- town. and the Glee Club Concert. If the public has enjoyed listening to these programs as much as the club enjoyed giving them, the year’s work has truly been a success. MARGARET J. WORK ProfcMor of Music. French ami Kntliih ; A.

season, which included appearances at various cam- pus programs, at local church services, before clubs in Xenia and Dayton, and a broadcasting program. Two of the members chose the Christmas vaca- tion to have hospital experiences, but the beginning of the second semester found everyone ready for work again. Those studying in the library on Tues- day and Thursday evenings have learned to concen- trate through the harmony of “The Blind Plow- man” or “Prayer Perfect,” and they know it is time for the library to be closed when they hear the boys signing off (informally) with “Moon, Moon, Pretty Silvery Moon.” The members of the quartette, directed by Mrs. Work, are George Gordon, first tenor; Edward Irons, second tenor; Joseph Free, baritone; Preston Gar- lough, bass; Clyde Hutchison, alternate an accom- panist. Inter-Collegiate Debates History repeats itself this year in intercollegiate debating at Cedarville College. The standards set last year have been more than equalled. The number of non-decision debates is less, the decision debates greater. Our team, upholding the affirmative, has engaged in five contests on the question, “Resolved that all banking functions should be regulated by the Federal Government, with deposits guaranteed,” and has won four of them. Four of these debates occurred at the Manchester College Debate Tourney held at North Manchester, Indiana. C. C. registered wins over teams representing Wheaton College (Illinois), Huntington College (Indiana), and Manchester College, but lost to Illinois Normal College by a slight margin. The fifth debate of the season and the only home contest was with Wilmington College. Prof. P. B. Brees of Wittenberg College was the judge and gave C. C. the decision by a few points. The sixth and final meet of the year will be at Rio Grande College, Thursday, May 25. C. C. Won there last year, and the boys are determined to repeat the victory. Data regarding future prospects include the following: two members of the team will be lost by graduation, Joseph M. Free and Clyde A. Hutchison, Jr. Their places will be hard to fill. Parenthically, to Joe Free goes more credit than to any one else for the resumption of intercollegiate debating, and both of the boys will be missed because both love to debte and are willing to make real preparation, the latter a virtue not always outstanding. The two remaining members are Walter S. Kilpatrick and Franklin Trubee, both Juniors. These boys love forensic contests and have the spirit that says, “The team first.” From these facts, the statement is warranted that the prospects for a strong squad next year are good. Further, the response to the call recently issued for recruits, indi- cates that C. C. will have several teams next season. Philosophic Literary Society The Philosophic Literary Society of the College has achieved prominence this year through increased membership, and well-planned meetings. GIRLS' OUAKTKTTK Hartman. F.
