Kellarmiuc Debating Society To develop skill and fluency in public speaking is the basic aim of the Bellarmine Debating Society. Realizing that confidence in expressing oneself can be had only by hard work and constant practice, farfseeing juniors and seniors devoted themselves eagerly to the task of selfeimprovement under the able direction of Mr. Sanders, SJ. Frequent intrafteam debates were staged to give all equal opportunity to think and speak before an audience. Such praef tice within the school walls enabled students to step outside and represent Loyola in the Voice of Democracy, American Legion and Hearst Oratorical Contests. In addition, Loyola regularly participated in the various speech activities of the Baltimore Catholic Forensic League. This year's controversial debate topic, Resolved: that Governmental subsidies should be granted -to high school graduates who qualify for additional training, was thoughtfully argued pro and con by seniors Porterfield, Cooney, Fogarty and Taylor, and by juniors jackall and Hathaway. Were we successful? Certainly the poise and confidence of individual members developed marvelously. That Loyolafs wide reputation for turning out polished speakers grew with the year is evidenced by the fact that four finalists were placed in the Voice of Democracy Contest, the League Declamation Contest was won by Ben Tresselt, the Original Oratory Contest by Nelson Cooney, and the new Knights of Columbus trophy was brought to Blakefield.
