Financial support for the debate program was acquired by sponsoring Radio Day. During Radio Day the debaters assumed the responsi- bilities of program production on station VVIRC. Profits gained from this project ex- ceeded one thousand dollars. Honoring outstanding speech students, Wests chapter of the National Forensic League operated under an affiliated charter for four years. This year, however, NFL was awarded a full charter due to the excellent showing of NFL members in speech activities. Thespians, headed by President Lamar McCallum, were also contributors to the suc- cess of speech activities. Their enthusiastic work backstage, on stage, and in other areas were essential parts of speech programs.
