' I land ling one ol llie most controversial topics in VRiO ' s, “Resolved that the United States shonhl extend di})loniatic recognition to the Coinnuinisl government of China,” which was the national debate topic lor this year, the Robert Ballarmine Debating So- ciety of Loyola College had one of the most active seasons in its history this year. Over twenty members took part in approximately one hundred intercollegiate debates, most of which were on the national topic. In the Janies Cardinal Gibbons Debating League, which Loyola helped to form last year, and which is composed ol seven of the Catholic colleges and Universities in the Baltimore - Washington - Emmitsburg area, Loyola has been highly successlul this year. Each school in the league must debate each other school twdce, and at the end of the first semester’s activity, Loyola was the only school whose debating team was still undefeated. Under tbe leadership of its officers, John Tormey, president, T. Howland Sanks, vice- president, James B. O’Hara, secretary, and Samuel J. Ady, treasurer, and its moderator Mr. Erancis C. Voci, the Bellarmine Debat- ing Society also took part in an unusually large number of intercollegiate tournaments in Philadelphia, New York and Baltimore. The Debating team finished up the year in grand style by wdnning the James Cardi- nal Gibbons Debating League, losing only one debate all year. They were awarded a large circnlating trophy and a small one which they will keep. Considerable ad- vances were made in the effort to give increasingly greater numbers of the organi- zation actual experience in competition; all in all, more than eighteen members par- ticipated in six or more debates. Hal Sanks speaks to a divided audience. 26

Witli three major liroductions and several other appearances and extra performances, this was one of the busier seasons for the Mask and Rapier Society. Under its tire- less ])sychologist-moderator, Fatlier Scanlan, and with a new director, English professor H. Charles Staley, the dramatics society first took part in a |)ageant presented in Loyola’s Marian Year celehralion. The November production was the annual vari- ety show, Loyola Night, lor which almost the whole scri])t was credited to Father Scanlan. Events come so close together that the crew and the cast constantly find themselves putting in long late hours in the 28
