 VWAVAVaVAVAVAVAXAVf.VA' Vf»WWfty VAVAV VAVraAKWAVAV iV V V£,V V Vi V A FORENSIC SEASON 1929 The debate season for Wesleyan this year was a very full and prosperous one with nineteen debates scheduled. With a squad of fourteen appearing regularly for practice, it was decided to build up the forensic program by making contacts with schools :ovcring a large area and bringing in teams of reputation and ability, many of whom had never debated Wesleyan. Only four old debaters were back: Vera McElroy, Helen Johnson, Farron Turner and Kollin Pooler. Farron deserted us for oratory where he made a larger name for himself. Ralph Schut ., our orator of last year, came forward and proved himself a competent debater and thinker. Most of the squad were green, but made some show for themselves by sticking to the job and working hard. Various types of debating were tried this year, having a split team debate with both Simpson and Shurtlcff and an open forum one with the College of Emporia. The outstanding debate of the season was with the men’s team from Oklahoma City. This team went to the finals in the national convention of Pi Kappa Delta at Tiffin, Ohio, last spring. Trips were numerous for both men and women. The longest trip for the latter was to State Teachers and Cornell, while the men went to Simpson and Carthage. A southern tour, including four new schools, was taken by McOavic and Turner. Very few three-man debates were held since the trend was toward two-man teams. Under the supervision of Pooler and Schut ., the green men were initiated into the talking sessions, while McElroy and Johnson took charge of the girls. H Vksux Tiixi.wvx.
