They say so themselves: It shall be the purpose of this organization to stimulate progress in. and to promote the interests of intercollegiate oratory, debate, and public speaking by encouraging a spirit of intercollegiate fellowship, of brotherly cooperation and interest, and by conferring upon deserving candidates a badge of distinction, pro- ficiency, and honor, varied and graduated according to merit and achievement. They're not nearly as stuffy as this makes them sound, however, and what's more. darned if they aren't true to their purpose. A list of their activities should convince you: Red River Valley Contest, Pi Kappa Delta Interstate and Oratorical Contest, National Meet, Men's Old Line Contest, Wornen's Old Line Contest, Peace Contest, Kneeland Contest, Stockwell contest for freshmen, and providing enter- tainment for downtown clubs. Some of the less talkative and more filling events were the Fall dinner at Lillos,' where good food spoke for itself, and the spring campfire breakfast in their back yard, where many a streamlined figure ate and ate and ate until 'twas more to be pitied than censuredf' Marjorie Thompson as President and Stella Lillo as Secretary may or may not indicate that it's the women who get the last word.

SIGMA TAU DELTA Climax of a year's activities for the Iota Alpha Chapter of Sigma Tau Delta was the super Regional Convention held in Iamestown. Eminent writers and speakers were present at the convention and really presented a stimulating and inspiring picture of creative efforts. Also present at the convention were Moorhead's Mu Gamma Chapter and Aberdeen's Psi Gamma. Moorhead, in its 1941 convention, operated with a vigor that thoroughly en- tranced the participants from I.C.: a luncheon, an afternoon discussion where Ferd- inand was thrown with great gusto, and a dinner in one of the Fargo hotels which climaxed a day of polished entertainment. Sigma Tau Deltans become members of this National honorary English fraternity solely by the creative ability and interest they show in writing. This year fifteen such people joined the ranks, proving their prowess as writers of no mean ability. At meetings contributions were read and criticized. F. Y. St. C. restricts himself to the word of mouth method rather than those gruesome green scratches. In the spring, bursting forth as a rocket, the Sigma Tau's crowd to the river and there all but clean up the banks tracking down wood for a bonfire to beat all bon- fires. Interesting too, is the fact that this club of prolific writers has crashed many of the women's club downtown to entertain them with their versatility and skill. Officers were President, Carol Wilson, Vice President, Hood Gardner: Sec- retary, Marion Herigstadf Treasurer, Bob Salisbury. Last minute brain stormers made Fiegel the choice for Beagle, in which office her duties are to sniff out new members.

MASQUERS Most responsible for dramatic activities on the campus are the members of Masquers, who strive to keep alive a love for self-expression. Directed by the versatile and inspirational Mrs. I , this group manages to have at its various meetings readings from current Broadway plays, reports from summer theatre goers, a spring picnic when everybody, rain or shine, fries his or her hamburger close to nature fTake it the way you want itl, and also a turkey dinner. This latter is to show Mrs. I's', prowess as an artiste supreme in the culinary field. Cranberries, ice-cream, nuts, coffee and indigestion abound and help to make a year packed with action for this efficient and artistic club. Much fun was had by all when Iacksons' splurged to the extent of a radio phonograph. Now everybody .land his uncle? has his voice in posterity's album. Even the rendition of the famous negro spirituals and the voices of Iamestown's great are there encased. Daughters of Atreus by Robert Turney was the 1941 production, and the 1942 presentation was Macbeth by William Shakespeare. Members also participated in Iourney to Ierusalem and Ladies in Retirement all of which displayed much talent and finesse. Stagecraft and costuming have found new heights, due to the efforts and abilities of Keith McClelland and Wendell Iosal. Properties, however, have hit C1 new low since no one wants to take any responsibility in the matter.
