Rarely has Manhattan had the good for- tune to number among its students two men who possess the oratorical c]ualities of Engi- neer Paul G. Nicholson and Artsman John J. McCarthy. As teammates on the debating squad they have been well nigh unbeatable in their endeavors. Nicholsiin has brought added honors to the school and himself by reaching the finals of the Hearst Oratorical Contest. In his winning the Grady Oratorical IVc
