Starting with the Flag Rush, first sophomore victory of the year, and winding up with a tugfoffwar, as a means of recon' ditioning members before their final exams, Union members have enjoyed a rkmumus seascna. Along with the pancake supper came Milo Sukup of University of Michigan gridiron fame who showed football movies. Then came the dance, and finally a chop suey dinner, featuring, in addition to food, movies and cartoons. The Father and Son banquet, biggest yet, came in May, and presented, as speaker, Dr. Arthur Secord of the University of Michigan speech department. MEN'S UNION President ....

Debate Team A good part of the country, as well as the labor question, was covered in the fall debate season by J.C.'s oratorsg the net result was three champion' ships - and sugar cubes from every restaurant along the way. At the Toledo midfwestern direct clash debate tournament they took junior college honors and special superiority ratings, at Chicago's North Park college Phi Rho Pi meet they were declared champions, winning seven out of eight clashes, and after the two rounds of the state tourna' ment, they emerged second. Twelve out of twelve wins was their score at the close of the North Manchester, largest in the world tourney, and fortyfseven fourfyear colleges stepped back while the only junior college present took top honors. 35
