THE ISLANDER Mildred Pearson Prof. H. E. Hinton Robert Chamber lain Frank Rice Forensic Club The Forensic Club was organized this year at a meeting of the men's and women's debate teams. For some time the need of an organization in our school for the promotion of greater interest in forensic activities, has been evident. With this in mind, the Forensic Club was established on February 6, 1928. A constitution was drawn up whereby any student in Grand Island College who is interested in debate, oratory, or extemporaneous speaking is eligible to the Club. All effort along these lines requires much time and training in concise thinking, clear expression and good poise--qualities desired by all students. It is the View of the Forensic Club that an appre- ciation and recognition of these worthwhile functions means much to the growth of Grand Island College. We believe that forensic activities will successfully continue through an enthusiastic spirit and sincere support. The charter members of the Club are: Robert Chambe1'lain, Frank Rice, Mildred Pearson, Madge Axford, Thelma Gregory, Ruth Bryan, Tru- man Frownfelter, Wayne Christensen, Chester Windolph, William Fergu- son, Paul Parker, and Dean Goodwin.

Those favored eighteen well knew the uncertainty of their places, and were assured of others who could easily step in if necessary. Another ruling which proved satisfactory, for the treasury, was the encumbrance of fines for absentees or tardiness to rehearsal and appearances. What member did not forego eats, etc., to dash in just as the secretary began calling the roll. The Club began work on the numbers for both sacred and secular con- certs, making their first appearances before the District Teachers Conven- tion, held in Grand Island. A five day trip was taken between semesters. Concerts were given during the year at Marquette, Clay Center, Gibbon, Oxford, Holdrege, Wilsonville, Juniata, Polk, Trumbull, Hastings, and Stromsburg.
