32 THE CRIMSON THE PRO AND CON OF 1916. Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, And waste its sweetness on the desert ' U7 air. Not so, however, with the Pro and Con of 1916, for, supported by a large body of industrious, punctual, energetic members and guided by lWiss Seagrave, Faculty Advisor, we have become known as The Pro and Con. Our Monday evening meetings quickly reveal thc se- cret of our success, for here every mem- ber has a chance to train himself in a work which Will be a help and a joy to him thruout his whole life. Here we gain a taste for the greatest authors and poets. Here we obtain an insight to the meanings of selections whose big- ness of thought had at first meant little or nothing to us. Here, we learn par- liamentary rules which are of the most practical use to usg and here we gain training in the composition and delivery of debates, orations, essays, declama- tions and dramatizations. Two of the best dramatizations of this year were 'jones' Courtship, realistically given by Cocha Ball, Albert Zook and Hous- ton Trvineg and the quarrel scene from lVIary, Queen of Scots, with Nellie Anderson as the proud, haughty, jealous Queen lflizabeth, and Sallie Winsby as the penitent, pleading, downtrodden Queen lNfIary. Pro and Con had many things of which to be proud, but that which seems to outshine all others is the record of its members. Of the three Pro and Con members entered in the preliminary con- test for declamation, one, Sallie VVinsby, was given first place, and another, Cocha Ball, tied for second place. In the preliminary for debate four entered and three made the teams. Nloreover, the winning team in the contest were both Pro and Con stars. Then, too, aside from the splendid results of the contest, Pro and Con boasts of a strong body of students who are energetic, en- thusiastic, punctual, and regular.
