THE DEBATE BANQUET At six o'clock, Friday evening, March 6, some twenty old and young Academy Debaters, came trooping up the stairs of Park Hotel, hungry and expectant, wondering where in the world, or out of it, Mr. Shaw was. Of course, there he was standing in plain sight, as soon as we had asked the man at the desk all about it. There was a hearty welcome and a warm handshake for each new-comer, and then considerable in- troducing and weather remarks in the hat and glove room, which is of course neces- sary and doubtless very interesting. Quite a study in human nature, though, to see how green each fellow can look as he enters the door. It pays to get there early. Well, the dinner was as excellent as usual-Mr. Shaw's dinners are always excellent -and because of its excellence it went right to the spot. Pray, what more could a bunch of fellows ask for. Pretty soon the coffee-cups were taken off and we began to get ready not to yawn at the toasts we knew would follow, when Mr. Shaw arose and put one over us. He told us that the toasts would be omitted this year and said he would be glad to read to us for a little while if we cared to listen. Of course, that was an unnecessary question, so presently he began. The two chapters from Mary Raymond Shipman Andrew's The Eternal Masculine were keenly enjoyed as the peals of laughter and grunts of satisfaction indicated. About nine o'clock we tried to blurt out our thanks to Mr. Shaw, and then went our respective ways. ' Yes, truly, Mr. Shaw, we are grateful, very grateful, for this yearly token of your interest in us and in the debate. Many of us will forget the carefully threshed-out argu- ments and the places for emphasis in our speech, and even the speeches themselves, though that seems impossible just before the Debate, but we will not forget these cheery gatherings or your patient help and undampened interest in all things pertaining to debate. Many are the times when We have been disheartened and discouraged and received from you just the aid and encouragement we sought. Many are the times when your suggestions and your guidance pulled us over a tight place. Truly are you called the Father of Academy debate. Ogle H
