HALLUWEEN PARTY From the chapel annex could be seen only dim lights on the night of October 26, 1953. The sounds coming forth were unusual, and anyone could readily tell it was not a re- gular meeting of the society. Another pecul- iarity was those who were to enter. The ligures were arrayed in such strange out- fits that an onlooker would wonder what special occasion was taking place. Then the realization comesg it is the annual Hal- loween party. As the custom in previous years, the Philotheans played host to the Phileusebians. A warm welcome was ex- tended to those figures who were actually individuals. 18 Corn stalks, pumpkins, and jack-o-lan- tern made the people feel in the Halloween spirit. There were quite a few so-called Characters there, but, of course, there was one who was very outstanding. This was the clown who made his appearance when the party was well under way. His disap- pearance a short time later was very mys- terious. Entertainment in the form of relay games was enjoyed by all present. Dough- nuts, popcorn, and cider were served for re- freshments. The evening was closed with a devotional period. The occasion will be re- membered as a time for rich fellowship for all who were present.

INTER-SOCIETY DEBATE Where there is no problem, there is no problem 2 It was a tense and excited crowd that en- tered the Seminary Chapel on the evening of November 18, 1953. This was the night of the annual debate between the Phileuse- bians and Philothean Literary Societies. During the course of the school year many interesting and educational programs are sponsored by the Literary Societies, but the debate seems to stand out from among them all. This year's debate question, RE- SOLVED: The Christian day school is the answer to today's problem of education, proved to be of special interest. Weeks be- fore the debate. discussions could be heard pro and con, not only by Seminary students and faculty, but also by members of Churches of Christ in the surrounding area. Now the night had come when the two societies were to debate this question for- mally. The Phileusebians were represented by Ward Patterson, Bill Stansberry, with Bill Gwaltney as alternate. The Philotheans were represented by Dale Cluxton, Ronnie Walters, with Reuben Bullard as alternate. The Philotheans upheld the affirmative side and the Phileusebians the negative. This debate proved to be enjoyable as well as interesting and informative. One of the disappointing factors in every debate is, of course, that there must be a loser. In this case the Phileusebians came out the victors. It was evident, however, that both sides had spent long hours of hard study and earnest prayer while preparing for this debate. 17
