DEBATING TEAM HEN the Sophomores were graduated last June, Junior College found itself without a single debater around whom a debate coach could form a team for the next year. With this gloomy outlook Junior's hopes for the future seemed entirely shattered. When the fall term began, however, the future appeared brihter, for junior was going to have a debate coach. This coach was Mr. Rolland Shackson. When he came to Junior his task was doubly hard, for before he could put a team into the field, he had to search for debaters. He worked untiringly, and the present size of the debate squad testifies to the fruits of his efforts, Although the debaters have not met with overwhelming success, they have rep' resented Junior College remarkably well. Now that Junior College has established debating as a regular college activity it longs Lo maintain and to increase its friendly forensic relations with other Junior Colleges, and in the future to reveal its merit. To further debating activities in succeeding years, the honorary forensic fraternity of Phi Rho Pi was formed by the squad. As this is the only organization of its kind among Junior Colleges, it is hoped that it will Gll a real need, and grow to national proportions. Only students actually representing their college in intercollegiate debates are eligible to mernbere ship. Negative team: Harry Young, john Luyendyk, Lawrence Bird. Affirmative team: Harry Girtlen, Paul Liebert, Herman Pekarsky. Not in picture: Willard Steketee, Negative, and Faust Hickman, Alternate. The question debated was: Resolved: That extraterritorial rights in China should cease immediately. - - fr 1-- f ..... -1' .fc 4. ,,.- rw. 2-,,, .si --: rV, af'iiEf'..f :45ss7f??f?f i+i7'7 Hiffgrl Wm .4 f r L4 lqlf' ' v 'J L fjwzw as .

Its three prime requisites are scholarship, literary ability, proved desire and capability to work on the Collegiate. The latter qualification has been ably fulfilled by the members, some one of whom has written an article for nearly every issue of the college paper. Feature Club mem' bers have also been outstanding in other College activities, such as Sophomore Class, athletics, Operetta, Men's Union, Women's League. Meetings of the organization are held at least once a month, at the homes of various members. At these meetings numerous literary subjects are discussed. Some of the topics handled during the current year were: Bible English, eighteenth century poetry, modern drama, the new negro literature. The Feature Club enjoyed an excursion to the Civic Players Playhouse on Front Avenue one evening, to see the performance of one of its members in The Guardsman. The writefup of this play appeared later in the Feature Club Column of the Collegiate. All in all, a successful year has been completedg the one drawback being that so few of the members will be here to carry on the work of the Feature Club next year.

DER DEUTSCHER VEREIN ER DEUTSCHER VEREIN is an organization for the purpose of cultivating an interest in the German language and Germany, and offering an opportunity for practice in con' versation. All German students are invited to join. 'The business meetings of the club, as well as its programs, are carried out in German as much as possible. The meetings this year have been both entertaining and instructive. Several good speakers have been heard, and the members have learned many German 'folk songs, their favorites being Du, Du, Liegst Mir im Herzen, Die Waclwt am Rhcin, O. Du Lieber Augustin, and Sah ein Knab' ein Roselein Stehien. The members have also enjoyed such games as Ich sehe was, was clu nicht siehst, which offer practice in conversation. On March 12 the club entertained the German students of Union and Catholic Central High Schools, iifty'five being present at that meeting. The speaker, Fraulein Theresa Kugel, told about her home city, Frankfortfon-thefMain, and about the schools she attended, afterwards translating her talk for the benefit of the high school students. At a later meeting Reverend Cook gave the mem' bers an enjoyable and instructive talk on German Schools. The sponsorship of Mr. H. Geurkink has greatly helped to make the German C1ub's second year a great success. Officers President ............... ...........,.,.......... .................,.
