English with its Browning, Shakespeare, and composition courses imparted knowledge to the minds of frightened freshmen and methods to upperclassmen. NVinner of the coveted jun- ior essay award will be announced in honors chapel. Journalism classes struggled over the Collegian and Bronco, with Eloise Edson, Betty Fahrnbruch, Robert H. Jones, and Dorothy Weyer as editors-in-chief. Before actors and actresses acquired a broad British 'tau for Lady Vs7indermere's Fanf, under the direction of Miss Wynett Barnett, they had to lose the Russian accent they assumed for the play t'Tovarich. Debaters, dramatists, and radio enthusiasts pooled their efforts to sponsor the college invitational high school tournamentg college debaters walked off with highest honors at the regional Pi Kappa Delta tourney. French, German, and Spanish clubs combined for special occasions into the larger union of the Travel club. For the Christmas program, they presented French art, Spanish music, and German drama. 23
