Charter members of the organization were: Harriet Ahearn, Elsie Yeck, Vergella Bond, Eva-Jane Erwin, Grace Herr, Lowell Fuller, Eva Woods, Lucille Gant, Bethmyrl 12' Miller, Edna Williamson, Eugene Bowman, Francis Doud, Zelma Austin, with Miss Zabel, adviser. The rirst olicers chosen were: Harriet Ahearn, president 5 Eugene Bowman, vice- president, Grace Herr, secretary-treasurer, Vergella Bond, chairman of constitutional committee, Elsie Yeck, chairman of program committee. The constitution adopted limited the number of members to twenty-five and set a high standard of scholarship and oratorical abilities necessary for membership. The initial debate took place on March 7, 1930, with the College of Idaho. The question debated was, resolved: That the nations should adopt a plan of complete dis- A armament, excepting forces necessary for police purposes. Eugene Bowman, Hazel Williamson, Vergella Bond, and Victoria Schweizer, Viola Phillips and Elsie Yeck were contestants of the E. O. N. Forensic Club. Two further debates were held in which Vergella Bond, Eugene Bowman, Delora 0 Funk, Victoria Schweizer and Viola Phillips took part. In all debates a splendid showing was made for the Eastern Oregon Normal, and a if laudable example for future aspirants was set by the club.
