There is an open field for the youth who has a scientific turn of mind; in fact, whatever may be his or her inclination, there is opportunity on every side for development. During medieval days, a youth was expected to follow the vocation of his father. There was no freedom of choice as there is now. Restrictions were such that only a few could engage in any chosen field. Now, however, all has been changed. The way is open to any field of activity. The question is, Arc there any who will turn away from secular pursuits and follow the voice of God? We arc happy to answer that there arc yet some who love their Lord enough to obey and follow wherever He may lead. With joy and anticipation we are looking forward to a place in the Ministry, missionary fields, or some other line of Christian work. We count all things as worthless that we may win Christ. It is our prayer that God will make each one of our number a blessing to the world. —Forrest Gallup.

FORENSIC CONTESTS IIARRIETTE WARNER Col I eye Declamatory Contest LORRAINE DOWLRY NELLIE GILL High School Declamatory Contest College Declamatory Contest BURTON MARTIN Sub-District Oratorical Contest The contests held in the high school and college departments of the school are among the most interesting occasions of the school year. Not only are the contests interesting but they also are among the most valuable experiences a student has. Early in November the college declamatory contest was held. All college students were eligible to take part. Nellie Gill and Harriette Warner tied for first place. The two prizes were equally divided between the two contestants. Spring Arbor belongs to the Michigan High School Oratorical Association. The high school declamatory and oratorical contests were held in conformity to the rules of the association. February 26 the declamatory contest took place. High school Freshmen and Sophomores were allowed to take part. First honors were won by Lorraine Dowlcy, second place by Edgar Whiteman. The Oratorical contest was held on Saturday, May 14. Six contestants were entered. Violet Dodds won first place, and second honors were taken by Burton Martin. It was decided impossible to have a high school debate team this school year. We hope another year it will be possible to continue this activity which has become so popular and beneficial. Many activities are soon forgotten, but it is believed the student who partakes in forensic activities will always remember the practical help which they give him. Margaret J. Matthewson.
