DIRIGO As always, upon the completion ot the Dirigo tor another year, the editor feels that he is at last ready to join his fellow beasts in the surrounding hills and howl in the moonlight to calm his jangled nerves. Jumbled thoughts ot money, students get- ting pictures taken, and meeting deadlines fill his mind. He looks back on the past nine months as a nonsensical conglomeration ot paper, glue, pic- tures and copy. The strain of the responsibility is to be expected and is usually a good experience tor the one who must sutter through it. Pictured here are some who have and some who have not done their share in the production ot the l942 Dirigo. ln the upper lett hand picture are the editor and business manager and directly below, the faculty advisor and the two associate editors. Cn the right, from lett to right, Walter Pasternak gives the photographer a menacing look while he thinks ot some new angle on tootball, bas- ketball or what have you: Larry Bula De Frietas, the New Jersey lady-killer, puts on his best Sunday taceg next, the three beautiful damsels, l-lelen Lemon, Mary Frances Keys and Phyllis Swentzel, dish out charm and stutf: last, the editor gives out a sick grin and woe is me expression. Kneeling are the lads who make the merchants want to lock 4 their doors in the spring, the assistant business mana- ger and the business manager. Freshman Barney Weber nervously waits to get back to a certain Salem l-ligh school girl while Bill Sperry, Salem's little genius, maintains his self-satisfied expression. Thanks to Milton Furner tor his pictures ot the build- ings. Thanks also P. l-l. S. for your heart-telt co- OPCYGUOD amd l'Y1OI'Eil SUFJPOYJC.

DEBATE Guided by Prof. Marion P. Summers, the college debate has consistently done nothing during the whole year. This can be blamed only on the members themselves since an organization cannot be successtully operated unless all members give 'Full cooperation at all times. It has been the custom tor several years to send the two most outstanding debaters to Chapel Hill, North Carolina, to engage in the national contest. ln previous years they have won distinguished recognition by defeating teams ot well known eastern institu- tions. However, due to the war and the shortage ot rubber, the team was unable to attend this year. The debaters assisted Prof. Harley Bond with the fourth annual speech festival held on March 27. This is the primary contest among central West Virginia high school stu- dents who vie for honors in various phases ot public speaking. The contest included oration, poetry, extemporaneous speaking and debate. OFFICERS Advisor Prot. Marion P.
