orrle .W es by y Of' the in. ! tives U we .1 de' riZ?5 ld ln Blue and White Day, under the general direction of co-chairmen Maggie Mae Davis and Emerson Aldrich, reached a new peak among homecomings this year. The events of the day began with an open house for all re- turning alumnae at the Student Lounge. At this time lots were drawn to determine which member of the 1937 Class should reign as Homecoming Queen. Eleanor Ritchie was the recipient of this honor. The high point of the morning was reached when the colorful parade, made up of floats representing all campus organizations, wended its way through the streets. Organization luncheons followed this event. A slight damper was placed on the occasion by the loss of the afternoon football game to Ball State. However, everyone's buoyancy re- turned at the Homecoming Dance where the Grand March was led by Queen Eleanor and her escort. To the final strains of the orchestra imported for the occasion, another Homecom- ing at State was brought to a close, leaving many happy memories behind. QQRQVK .

BLUE AND WHITE DAY .f 1 .1 il X I ' Q .47 ll ff ff' , f The Kappa Kappa Sorority was awarded first prize for its float in the Blue and White Day parade. The unusual float which was in the shape of a streamlined boat bore on its sides the words, Kappa Kappa Cruiser . Four Kappas, dressed as sailors, were seated in the boat. The school colors of blue and white made up the color scheme. The Kappas were pre- sented a silver cup at the Homecoming Dance. The Alpha Sorority placed second with its float representing a Dutch shoe. The Lambda float, a green-roofed house, was awarded third place. The Blue and White Day parade has become a tradition. All social and scholastic organiza- tions on the campus take part. Certain rules governing the organizations are laid down by the parade committee in order that every or- ganization may have a fair chance for the prize. The judges for the event this year in- cluded the co-chairmen of Homecoming, the chairman of the parade, and representatives selected from the student council and from the faculty. The announcement of the judges' de- cisions followed by the awarding of the prizes was made at the Homecoming Dance held in the gymnasium. whiff.

DEBATE The school has good reason to be proud of the excellent record made in forensic activities this year. The fact that the class consisted of only eight members, some of Whom had no previous experience in debating, was more than balanced by the genuine skill of the mem- bers and the expert guidance of Mr. Gifford. The question debated Was: Resolved: that the National Labor Relations Bureau should be empowered to enforce arbitration of all in- dustrial disputes. The teams enjoyed remarkable success, win- ning twelve out of fifteen debates. After the beginning debate with Indiana Law School, the group traveled to North Manchester to participate in an invitational tournament. A debate with DePauw closed the season. It has long been the aim of those interested in debating to stage a debating tournament Within the college. Definite plans are now be- ing made, and. from all indications this ideal will become a reality next year.
