Gale Sievers Debate Northern's debate team had one of its most active seasons during the past '54-'55 college year. Debating the National Intercollegiate Debate ques- tion required many hours of research by the team members. The team parti- cipated in several tournaments during the second semester, some of the mem- bers also taking advantage of an opportunity to participate in Intercollegiate Discussion at Madison, Wisconsin. All students interested in participating in Intercollegiate Discussion or Debate are cordially invited to join the group.

President-Ioanne Becker OTHER ACTIVITIES Carey Hall provides an excellent environment for the women of Northern who find it profitable to live on the College campus. Northern's Homecoming initiated the social activities for the year. Freshmen were responsible for the Carey Hall float, with all the girls serving as hostesses at the open house and tea. This year's Homecoming Day celebration saw Dorm girls all out to boost the morale of the College. Homecoming button- naires were sold to the student body. Special dinners were held during Thanksgiving, Christ- mas and Easter, with appropriate decorations. A Christmas caroling party is held every year for the purpose of spreading Christmas cheer. This year's party proved to be a success and everyone enjoyed the dance and refreshments that followed. In the Early spring an afternoon tea was held for the faculty and their wives. Sleigh rides and informal parties also added to the year's fun. A formal spring dinner climaxed the year with the intro- duction of the incoming officers. Mrs. Iames Sherman gave much of her time and guidance in making this year full of work and fun. Girls' Organization of Carey Hall Front Bow: Irma Maki, Ioanne Becker, Mary Trolla, Shigeko Nishihara.
