llllt-All llllll This story portrays the feelings and emotions of six men who are stranded on the bottom of the ocean in a disabled submarine. Their hope for escape is shattered when they find out that their oscillator is smashed and their only means of communication to the outer world is destroyed. Finally the only real man in the sub, Shaw, portrayed by Kenneth Fertig, elects to be shot through the torpedo tube in an attempt to notify the outer world of their position. The play ends with the forward compartment of the sub. crushing in on Brice, the coward, played by Walter Duffy, while the others remain safe in another compartment. Others in the cast include Dunn, the lover, portrayed by Richard Swanson, the captain MacAndrews, played by William Teaquist, Jorgson, the bully, played by Jerry Reynolds, and a cockney, Nabb, played by Jean Olson.

The debate topic, assigned by the Iowa High School Speech Association, was Resolved that the American People Should Reject the Welfare State. Participants were chosen from the first semester speech class. The affirma- tive side ofthe question was handled by Dolores Huebner and LaVonne Roth, with Wally Duffy as alternate. The negative team consisted of Jerry Reynolds and Georgia Hix, and their alternate was Joan McCorkindale. The last four weeks of the first semester, those students worked on debate every day. Speeches were timed, the limit for the main speech being ten minutes, and for the rebuttal, four minutes. At the first contest, in February, Odebolt met Storm Lake and lost the decision on points. ln spite of their brief season, the debate teams felt that the activity was well worth while.
