THE PHILALETHIAN DEBATE CLUB OFFICERS First Semester Second Semester Paul Briggs ................President ...........................Paul Briggs Pauline Juhlln..............Vice-President ...................Pauline Julilin Lynn hello Mustard .........Secretary .............Lynnhcllc Mustard The Philalethian Debate Club is a comparatively new organization on the campus, having just completed its second successful year. The club has been threefold in its purpose, namely: to provide practice in debate, parliamentary law, and public speaking. As its Greek name, Philalethian, implies love of truth or search of truth, so has the society tried to arrive at the truth by viewing the questions at hand from every possible angle. The monthly meetings have provided a period of entertainment as well as instruction, with the programs containing a wealth of variety. When going to a meeting, one did not know what to expect because the programs ranged from lectures on parliamentary law to round table conferences and national nominating conventions. One of the most unique programs of the year was conducted when the society at an informal public meeting resolved itself into a session of the General Conference of the Free Methodist Church and took up the regular business of the day. Every thing was proceeding in an orderly manner until, like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky, came a motion that instrumental music be permitted in the public worship of the church. The motion was discussed in true conference style and enthusiasm, and after an hour and a half the meeting was, with no small amount of difficulty, adjourned. The Philalethian Debate Club has proved to be one of the most active college organizations on the campus, and we feel safe in predicting a prosperous future for the society. Paul Briggs.

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.
