Oratory and Extempore Contests Carroll Arnold George Koplow In the Walsh oratorical finals held before the student body George Koplow, forensic manager, captured the title Walsh Orator and twenty-five dollars in gold with his oration, A More Equitable Distribution. Sterling Palmerton won second place and ten dollars talking on the subject, Billions for Tribute . The two winners competed in the state forensic tournament at Madison, and later Mr. Koplow and Luella Anderson represented the purple and white in the Pi Kappa Delta oratorical meet. With his speech, War Debts Should Be Done Away With, Carroll Arnold took the Drake Extemporaneous match and the annual prize which is offered for that event. Winning runner-up honors was Don Beveridge who talked on World War Veterans. Mr. Arnold represented SFC in the state tournament, and with Grace Prewitt talked in the Pi Kappa Delta extempore event. John Shultz was matched with other entrants in the After Dinner Speaking contest in the same tournament. Dramatic Department The Sioux Falls College dramatic department has received noteworthy results during the past year. Under the competent direction of Arthur C. Gray, the dramatic department produced Sun Up as the Tepee Day play, She Stoops to Conquer as the midwinter production, and Ghcsts as the commencement play. Mr. Gray is responsible in a large degree for the outstanding accomplishments of the department in the last two years. His plays are not chosen for the simplic- ity of production, rather he has chosen difficult plays requiring strange dialects, stylized scenery and tricky lighting. Sixty-six Prof. Arthur C. Gray

The Debate •eason Arnold Shultz Attaining the quarter finals in the Northwest Debate tournament at St. Thomas College, St. Paul, taking part in the Pi Kappa Delta provincial contest and the State tourney, as well as winning a majority of scheduled debates with other schools, Sioux Falls College debaters can chalk down a distinguished record on the 1933 forensic calendar. Carroll Arnold, John Shultz, Lloyd Jorgenson, and Jack Gregory composed the men ' s squad, while Luella Anderson and Grace Prewitt made up the women ' s team. Features of the debate season were a broadcast clash with State College over KSOO, and a men ' s audience decision debate with State before the Dell Rapids PTA, which was won by SFC. Especially worthy of commendation is the fact that both men ' s and women ' s squads finished among the first seven team in the Northwest tourney where there were 51 groups from six states in competition.
