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.

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

I)K. KOWAKD I . KtlSENiSCIIKN’CK Forty-three members were enrolled and the meetings were unusually well attended. Not only the enrolled members, but many guests enjoyed the instructive programs, including a mock trial, readings, music, debates, and playlets. Among the guest entertainers during the year were Ruth Marshall, pianist, and Raymond Chenoweth, accordionist, each of whom furnished an evening’s entertainment. Also members of Prof. Steele’s class in argumentation debated the question, “Resolved, that the Federal Government should grant old age pensions.” The society affords the students the opportunity of develop- ing their literary, elocutional, and musical talents. Officers are elected each semester. For the first term, Joseph Free was elected president; John Murray, vice-president; Beatrice Pyles, secretary; Carl Furgeson, treasurer; Walter Kilpatrick, chaplain; and Art Donaldson, sergeant-at-arms.
