The name Terquarts was therefore derived from the com- bining of the third year and fourth year clubs. All Senior and Junior girls are eligible for membership, The total num- ber of members in the Club is one hundred and ninety-six. The purpose of this Club is to develop sociability and friendliness among Senior and Junior girls throughout the school, and to learn more of present problems connected with the civic welfare of the school and community, A meeting of the Ter- gggrts is held the third hour of the third Friday of each school month in room The meetings are very interesting. First, business matters are taken care of. Then, a program usually consisting of a few musical numbers and recita- tions is given. The Club had the pleasure of hearing Mr. Stahl give two readings at one meeting and at another enjoyed a reading by Miss McCarthy, also of the Faculty. The Terquart Club is known well to all Freshmen girls because of the party that is given to them. The last Freshie party was another great success. Games were played that everyone could enjoy. The Freshies' fortunes were told also by a few of the members who took the part of fortune- tellers. Refreshments were then served. The remainder of the time was spent in dancing. These Freshie parties are also much enjoyed by the members of the Club. Other activities of the Terquarts are: an annual dance, a party, and a visit to Ida Noyes Hall at the University of Chicago. Much of the success of this Club must be credited to its faculty advisor, Miss Lewis. The following oliicers were elected in September: President, Marion Brink: Vice President, Leona Knight: Secretary, Ursula Brunner: Treasurer, Myrtle Fahsbender. As Marion graduated and Leona left school it was necessary to fill their places for the second semester. At the February meeting Sylvia Peters was chosen President and Emily Marten Vice President. . -Ursula Brunner, Secretary.

Strange as it may seem, there have been in Bowen weak clubs calling themselves debating clubs, which have existed for a short time and then disappeared as quietly as they appeared. The why and wherefore of this it is not my purpose to seek. But it is with great pleasure that I am able to record in this Annual that debating in Bowen is no longer a dream but a fact. Any student passing the Arrow room in late January, 1924, might have seen gathered in earnest discussion a group of students. If he ventured to listen in on the conversation, he would have heard Bowen history in the making. For the boys were planning ways and means through which to make debating an institution in Bowen. From that time to the present all their plans have evolved into realities. To enumerate all the important debates and develop- ments ofthe Club would occupy too much space, but an outline will suflice. We began as a small organization holding weekly meetings and debating on various questions. Early in the semester we became interested in a national oratorical contest and decided to take part. While we were working on our orations we received a challenge to a debate with Loyola Academy, which had to be refused. Near the end of the semester a public debate was held on the question: Resolved that the United States should grant complete independence to the Philippines. The teams were as follows: Aliirmative: William Tuack, Morris Kaplan and Ray Lussenhop: Negative: Richard Merrick. Paul Medalie and William De Haven. The decision was in favor of the affirmative. The mid year graduation resulted in the loss of some of our most valued members and this caused a bit of difficulty in getting started. The following semester we held several important debates, but more important was the student govern- ment campaign waged by the Club. A great deal of interest was aroused con- cerning the question, and at the present writing indications point to the estab- lishment of a suitable system of student government in Bowen. For our next semester we are planning a debating team to represent Bowen in interscholastic debates. We are also preparing to hold the annual oratorical contest in Bowen. In conclusion we appeal to the students to support organized debating in XX, If -I , lg If X Zi ,Q M- x 025252 N 52 if O XD CDD Bowen. At each succeeding graduation we lose many members, and it is there- fore up to the students who still have several years of Bowen before them to become interested in debating and work for the success of debating in Bowen. -Morris Kaplan, Sec'y, '24, OFFICERS OF FORUM Vi September-February.
