THE IXIIRROR ueaqigfgwwgu 1929 ATI-IENIAN LITERARY AND DEBATING SOCIETY This organization is one of the oldest on the campus and is sponsored by Pro- fessor O. L. johnson. Its purpose is to develop the art of public speaking among the men of the college and to foster intercollegiate debating. During the Fall Term the time was given to short speeches by the members who generally spoke on some important and interesting subjects. At the latter part of the term debates were given instead of speeches, during whcih time the sponsor selected the best talent to represent Oakland City College in intercollegiate debates. The first part of the Wiiiter term was given to the study of debating from Reeves' Argumentation and Debate while during the last part, debates were used to practice what had been learned. The debaters also matched their talent with those of other colleges during the last few weeks of the term. In the Spring term the Kangaroo Court took first place on the program. All of the court oflicers that were needed were given a position. Then followed the try' ing of suspects in the attempt to produce a case for trial. 'These meetings were usually open to all of the students and furnished much amusement to the audience and gave to the participants an opportunity to learn court proceedure. The society met for one hour each week and one term hour of credit was given to those who did satisfactory work. The officers for the year were: Fall term-President, Leland Bauerg Vice-President, Alvin Graperg Seeretaryf Treasurer, Carl Ferguson. Winter term-President, Carl Fergusong VicefPresident, Boner Barrettg Secref taryfTreasurer, George Fisher. Page Sixtyfnim:

'LHE-MIRRO-5 Maxam - 1?29 THE. Pl-II ALPHA LITERARY SOCIETY It is with pride that the Phi Alphas point to the beginning of their organization -one of the first immediately after the establishment of the college. I-t has been represented in all the Mirrors published by the school and is sponsored by no particular department and thus includes interest along a number of lines. The programs include all phases of literary interests comprising literature, history, drama, short stories, and other arts of any nation. The organization was first known as the TruthfSeekers' Club, formed September 29, 1896. Later the name was changed but the purpose remained the same, namely, an effort to gain cultural development and sclffimprovement. Mrs, Wheatley is sponsor of the organization which is open to all girls of the college who feel that ex' perience and training in its activities will be of benefit to them. Credit may be ob- tained by fulfilling certain requirements, although the members are urged to participate rather for an interest in the work itself. The motto of the Phi Alphas is: A little spark may do much work. The colors are red and white. The social activities for this year were an informal social and a theater party.

Q'-If-IE MIRROR 1929 C-ERIVIANAE SODALES LITERARY SOCIETY The Germanae Sodales Literary Society was reorganized at the beginning of the Fall Term, 1928, with fifteen members, most of whom were new in the society. A great deal of interest was shown and the girls did some very worthwhile work during the term. Regular meetings were held in Miss Campbells room at ll:2O on Thurs- days. The subjects for the program each time were chosen from the general Held of Music, Art and Literature in Indiana. Through these discussions and special reports the girls gained much knowledge of Indiana's progress in these arts and learned to appreciate the value of their native state's efforts to win fame. Next term the society selected as a subject for the term's work, Biography and Research. This work was just as interesting as that of the Fall Term and proved very helpful to those girls who were particularly interested in literature, science, or history. The open meeting for the Wiiitex' Term was held February ZS, 1929 in the Old Chapel. The program was as follows: Percy Grainger .,............................................................... ......... E dith Richardson H. G.
