FORUM The Forum is the only forensic organization on the campus and features both debate and speech activities. This year’s aim was to encourage the establishment of a girls’ debate squad. Such a team was successfully formed with Mary Jane Alguire and Claribel Arneson as the nucleus and with Celesta Schleicher and Sarah Bashara actively participating dur- ing the Fall Quarter. During the year the Forum held regular meetings twice a month. As holiday features the Forum prepared and presented the Washington and Lincoln Birthday programs for the College assembly. In conjunction with the “D” Club, the Forum was host to the Minot Teachers basketball team and the Billings Polytechnic debate squad at an all college party. As their leaders the Forum elected Wilferd Renke, Presi- dent; Joseph Hettrich, Vice-President; and Wallace Maxie, Sec- retary-Treasurer. Thirty

ART CLUB The Art Club, composed of students interested in sketching from life and still life, is reorganized each year in the early part of each Fall Quarter. Under the competent guidance of Miss Zoe Beiler, the Art Club has interested itself in many fields of sketch- ing. Instruction is given in sketching in ink, charcoal, pastel chalks, pencil, and sometimes oils. Each year an exhibition of the best work is placed in bound form in the college library. In the Homecoming parade, the Art Club took high honors with the most beautiful and artistic float, consisting of a striking group of living statuary. The Club also presented one of the most attractive assembly programs of the year, featuring chalk talks, both humorous and scenic. The officers for this year were: Donald Brugameyer, Presi- dent: Doris Marklund, Vice-President; Elfreda Miller, Secretary- Treasurer; Bernard Weinreich, Historian; and Miss Zoe Beilei-, adviser.
