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.

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 .

At every football game the band was on hand to add spirit and zest to the occasion. Everyone re- members with pleasure the arrangements pre- sented by the band during the intermissions of the basketball games. These numbers were ar- ranged by a group of young men, student mem- bers of the band. With spring in the air, the marching band was transformed into a symphonic band. This entirely new type of band included new in- struments such as the accordian, cello, violin, flute, piano, and harp. Excellent work was done in rearranging old pieces of music to a more modern style to satisfy the needs of the new band. The organization is proud of the fact that all the work in the new project was accomplished by students under the guidance of Mr. Bright. BAND S'rArE's MARCHING BAND guy,
