But over in the warmth and comfort of the boys' library, casually grouped about one or more of those long tables, a gathering of thirteen seniors open their weekly meeting. Mr. Sullivan calls on Mr. Wilcox, the secretary, who reads the minutes of the previous week. Mr. Barlage, the most unpopular' of the members attend- ing these juntos. thereupon takes out his little red book. reads the roll call, collecting a twenty-live cent piece of real silver money from those present. Business is then discussed, a play may be read or some scholastic or athletic event given attention. Round table talk ensues, a definite plan decided upon and the meeting is adjourned for another week. Such is a cross-section of the Lambda Gamma, a literary club composed of senior boys. This organization was formed by several graduates of the class of '29, under the direction of Brother Adolph Kalt. In carrying on the work so fervently inaugurated by the charter members, the club of this year has added to their accomplishments. Early in the year a contest was sponsored for the purpose of aiding the Annual Staff to decide upon a theme. A short skit was written and presented to the student body at one of the football rallies. In order to help defray the expenses of the Annual the members con- tributed toward the paying for a quarter of a page in advertising the club. In order that the organization might live, each group, upon graduation. is expected to initiate new members from the coming senior class. trusting in them to maintain that spirit of activity so intimately associated with the name of the Lambda Gamma. fi N Hfhuqy g , ' f 4 .

Business Stand fHEN the very pretentious outline was submitted by a very ambitious edi- torial and art staff, as a plan for the 1930 Campanile, it was evident that these individuals little anticipated the coming of a serious financial disaster in the business world. At the time when the budget was made, things looked quite prosperous enough and the enthusiasm of the student body, together with the determination of the business staff to cover all expenses, gave those concerned every possible reason to believe that little difficulty would be encountered in financing an enlarged and somewhat more elaborate annual. However with the deflation of the stock markets and the resulting business casualties, anxiety crept into the most optimistic minds. Somewhat startled with the appearance of things the group responsible for the financial success of the book aroused themselves, took the situation in hand and to their great credit, promised to meet all obligations and succeeded. The city was scoured by energetic salesmen who succeeded in selling advertising space far beyond the expectations of the most hopeful. The sale of the book resulted in a greater number of subscriptions than in any previous year. Al- though th-e patron fee was increased by a considerable sum the staff was able to secure a gratifying number of those who are friendly enough to give their gratuitous aid to the sponsoring of student activities at Redeemer. Consequently, due to this spirit of helpful cooperation on the part of the business staff. and because of the friendly assistance received from the many busi- ness houses in the parish and throughout the city, a more expensive yearbook was made possible and the designs of the various editors realized at a time and under conditions when the money world was in a very critical condition. To all concerned we are extremely grateful. fig a ll lim? V ' ,, ' g 1 lift if l t li e a ,,,, ,,,, ,,,. , No it:- l,:4Z.-1 -, if. 4:15.31-:....a-f2l3:q:::.-Ii-21s -if-3111 1 E Page Sixty-one

At the beginning of the scholastic year the Senior instructor organized this club among the girls for the promotion of the forensic art. The membership was made up of ten Seniors and a good representation from each of the other classes. Shortly after the club's organization it Was announced that the Public Speaking Department of the U. of D. was to sponsor a series of debates among the parochial schools in and around Detroit. Three of the Senior members of the club, Dolores Dunn, Aileen Barkume and Romaine Livernois, were chosen to represent Redeemer in these inter-scholastic contests. The clear, logical and concise manner in which they argued the merits of the present Jury System in Michigan best attests to their ability as debaters. During the first part of the contest they assumed the aflirmative side of the question and later changed to the negative. Although the championship was not gain-ed, the fact that the team reached the semi-finals and at all times was considered one of the most formidable in the league points to the success attained. Besides engaging in varsity debating, the club also sponsored a series of intra-mural contests in which Capital Punishment was discussed pro and con. These contests were especially advantageous to the lower classm-en for they of- fered splendid oppo-rtunities for developing their power in this field. From the results achieved so far the future Senior classes will not be lacking in public speaking material. Considering the work accomplished in this initial year of the Debating Club's existence, it can be truly said that the project has had an auspicious terminatio . rf N f , . . -ff?
