M Hedding, not having participated in intercollegiate debates the year previous, lvl had not been developing material along the forensic line but in spite of this fact, the showing made was creditable-none of the debates by any means being one-sided ff' affairs. W. lfzvi An honorary Forensic Society was organized, being composed of those having Nfl the right to wear the honor debating letter, which is gold for those debating and lsgjl silver for alternates. The officers are: President, Arthur Decker, Secretary, Velma ml Lewis, Treasurer, Gerald Moore. ,QA Mit This society has since made application for a charter from Pi Kappa Delta, a 'W national honorary forensic society. The local chapter will in all probability be in- gl stalled before the close of the current year. The Mississippi Oratorical Association is being formed which will comprise at least six schools which will engage in annual oratorical contests. 'Nl lvl, With these added incentives, the present high status of the department of Public 241 Speaking and the aggressive activity of Prof. Bale, Hedding is looking forward to a 'ffl year of conquests for 1921-1922.

Brhatr emit Q9ratnrQ wt M With the advent, at the beginning of the second semester, of Prof. Bale as head ' of the Public Speaking Department, a fresh impetus was given to debating and ora- Jiyv all tory. Two members from each literary society were chosen to compose the Hedding College Debate and Oratory Council and to have general supervision over the inter- collegiate activities in these lines. j Although rather late in the year, an attempt was made to secure an intercollegiate debate schedule, resulting in a dual debate for men with Parsons College on the Fed- eralization of the Kansas Court of Industrial Relations. A single debate was also ,H arranged with the same school for the girls. Hedding took the negative on the .fi Adoption of the League of Nations question. Parsons had already completed a sched- ule of debates on these questions when Hedding was scheduled. g A tryout was quickly arranged and resulted in the selection of the affirmative W team, George Bell, Allen Wilcox, Arthur Decker, and Fred Ferris, alternate, the neg- f, ative team, Forest Steele, Gerald Moore, Ivan Obenshain, and Harold Fitch, alternate. gi' A similar tr out was held for the Girls. Ruth Peterson, Velma Lewis, Ruth ll y Cv W Moore, and Alverta Carter, alternate, were chosen. li vi 3' The three teams set to work hurriedly to make the most of the five weeks left for ,il preparation.
