Daly President 214 The Shealy Debating Society had a very successful year under the direction of the Moderator, Dr. Samuel McClelland. At the opening meeting the following were elected officers of the club: Michael I. Daly was unanimously elected President of the Society. James I. George was named Vice President and Ann Fallon was chosen Secretary. The first debate was K'Resolved: that the evening school student obtains an education superior to that of the day studentf' The primary purpose of the first debate was to give Dr. McClelland an opportunity to observe the new members and comment on their debating abilities. Dr. McClelland was quite pleased. A panel discussion was conducted at the next meeting. The topic of the panel discus- sion was the current problem of modern colonialism in the Middle and Far East. The panel discussion proved to be both interesting and informative. A formal debate was also held on the topic Resolved: that a system of Farm Price Supports should be restoredf' The debate proved to be of interest to all the members not only because the farm issue is one of the most important economic and political issues of the day but also because the debate was so skillfully presented by all involved. The Shealy Debating Society also debated this year's national topic, Resolved: that the non-agricultural industries of the United States should guarantee their workers an annual wage. Besides debating the question during the regular meeting of the club, the Shealy Debating Society also took part in the School of Education intercollegiate debate and did an expert job of debating this very important labor-management topic. The Shealy Debating Society has for its purpose the development of the speaking and rhetorical abilities of its members. The ability to speak well is an important and necessary asset in business. This very valuable talent can be acquired by experience under careful guidance and instruction. This experience and guidance can be acquired by participation in the Shealy Debating Society. This is an opportunity which should not be overlooked by any student who desires to fully benefit from his college education. At the end of the year all the members of the Society felt a warm feeling of apprecia- tion and gratitude to Dr. McClelland for his guidance and instruction during the year. The Shealy Debating Societyis activities proved to be both rewarding and enjoyable. Mr. Chairman!
