RODEO — 193 i 29 Ihtmtsir (tilth ANEW CLUB has come into view! Miss Cowles announced at the be- ginning of this school year that she would start a new organization which would study argumentation and extemporaneous speaking and would conduct meet'ngs. Although the name “Forensic” was given the club, the ac- tivities really took in more than the word really implies. The first group of studies included parliamentary law, drawing u]5 v onst:- tutions, and giving mock trials. 'In the mock trial, Caroline Kulay was tried for club desertion. She was acquitted. be- cause the club had no law governing the case. Pantomime was another very colorful subject of this group, all the members entered into this activity en- thusiastically. Washington’s birthday was a great day for the club. All the members had been working on a playlet named “Feb- ruary the Month of Birthdays” which was presented to the school in an assem- bly performance. An old French minuet and a Valentine tap dance, given un- der the direction of Miss Fabrick, were popular features of the program. Although the Forensic Club picnic was held early in March, any casual ob- server would know that the group of young people assembled at the picnic were having the best time of their l fe. Everyone agreed afterwards that eating as the biggest event. Debating was taken up and a new system of debating was studied. An engagement with Musselshell gave the Forensic Club team of debaters a chance to show their merits. The question was: Resolved that chain stores are a detri- ment to the Amer'can public. Jacquel- ine Melton and Francis Yerkes upheld the negative side of the question and a non-dccision debate was presented on April 12. A return meet at Musselshell on April 23 gave Frances Snyder and Robert Huppe an opportunity to debate the affirmative side of the same question. Members of the Club were elated when they began studying banquets for Mis3 Cowles promised to have a real dinner after toasts and different types of banquets were studied. Several trial banquets were given at the regular meetings and then a real one was held at the home of Frances Snyder. All the members tried their hand at toasts and afterwards games were played and enjoyed by all. May Day saw the Forensic Club well represented in the parade. The float was a world turning around and under- neath it the inscription “Speech Moves the World.” Thus closed the eventful year for the Forensic Club.
