THE NORMAL ADVANCE 21 Oratorical and Literary Organizations OEATORIOAL AND DEBATING LEAGUE. The prospects for a successful year in the fields of debating and oratory are exceedingly bright. The contests for the year ought to call out the very best material in the school. A Tri-angular Debating League between the Normal College of Normal, Illinois, the Nor- mal School at Oshkosh, Wisconsin, and our , own school, was formed last year. The subject for spring debates between the schools is ttRe- solved, That a law compelling the arbitration of labor disputes would be desirable? The preliminary contest to choose the eight debaters who will represent our school, will be held early in J anuary. The above subject will be used, and contestants may take either side. Having the subject at this early date will en- able the contestants to be fully prepared and will be an incentive to becoming a member of the teams. It is an honor and a privilege to de- bate with such schools. The Oshkosh school won all four of its inter-normal debates last year, and it will tax our energies to the utter- most to defeat- them. Yet this is what we pro- pose to do. Other debates of interest and importance are to be held. The two ments societies, also the two ladies, societies, will debate each other dur- ing the winter, calling forth the best efforts of these organizations. In oratory there Will be opportunities for in- dividual eifort. A contest will be held at Athens, Ohio, at which the schools of Ohio, Kentucky and Indana will be represented. The following are the student representa- tives to the league for the year: Eula Mc- Ewan and Anna COX 0f the Philomatheon; Thirza Parker and Kate V. Black 0f the Ale- thenai; Clem 0. Thompson and Carl Scudder 0f the Forum; W. E. Tennell and A. S. Byers of the Daedalian; C. H. Pfingst and Lee V. Brinton of the Ciceronian Debating Society; E. L. VVelborn of the Senior Class; Clyde Shaw 0f the Junior Class; Voris Demaree of the Sophomore Class, and E. A. Row 0f the Col- lege Course. FORUM. The opening of the year found Messrs. J ared, Curry, Troth, Scudder, Asher, Thompson, Gif- ford, Byrne, Mahon and Davis active members of the Forum. The boys show great enthusiasm in regard to debating, although some of the work put upon them is heavy. A Halloween banquet will be given at Ellsworth, NOV. 4. OIOERONIAN. The Ciceronian Debating Society is enter- ing upon the years work With even brighter prospects than last year. At the first meeting seven of the 01d members were present. The good work 01 ? last year and the bright pros- pects for this year have filled every member with coniidence and enthusiasm. The Ciceronian spirit has been greatly in- tensified by a weeks outing at camp. Cicer- onian camp is a yearly event held on the banks ,of White river, three miles south of Sanborn, during September. This year the week was a very rainy one, but all had a most enjoyable time. Those present were Cain, Haigerty, WVel- born, Row, Unverferth, Schorling, Stirwalt, Reeve and Cullins. The Society has installed one new member, Mr. Haney. He has much ability as a debater, and the Society is glad to have him in its ranks. In general the work being done by the mem- bers is very good, but all are striving to make it better. Ability to debate well is the goal sought. All are determined to make this year the best in the history of the Soiciety.
