Father Edmund congratulates Marilynn Meyer, Mary Ellen Curran, Ann Daniels Ellen Frances Rodgers who hold the Degree of Disfincfion in NFL. If we had a trophy to award, we would present it to Father Edmund with the inscription- To our faithful Mascot.', Thank you, Father Edmund, for bringing us luck, Cas a mascot', should,j for help- ing us up and down icy hills, and for your tips from Vogue', for debaters. CRed always winslj Through your encouragement and aid, we reached places in the N. F. L. and five of us now proudly wear the pin of distinction. You made our forensic year a memorable one. Your witty remarks, your sense of humor, even when a debate was at stake Qbecause the Mt. Lebanon street car was delayedj, helped us through dangerous situations. Remember Munhall? Had it not been for you, would we ever have found the way home? Anyhow-we had fun in our forensic frenzies - thanks to you, Father Edmund. These girls hold the Degree of Honor in the NFL: Mary Margaret O'Connell, Shirley Achtenbaum, Anne Maftimore, Ann Daniels, Dolores Franks, Cafherine Woods, Jane Dobrosielslci, Dorothy Keenan, Jane Ann Clippinger, Catherine Weld. All the forensic activities were in preparation for the Hnal state tourna- ments, held in the spring at Mt. Mercy, where we just managed to hold our heads above water Qin spite of all the rainb. However, at Tech the gods were more favorable. In each event of speech we had representatives. Alice Marie Skirpan kept right to the final round with, For What are we Fighting?',, placing fourth. Our Dee Dee Force managed to score twenty-one points with her Wuthering Heightsv. Congratulations to Marilynn Mever, our little sophomore, who reached the finals in two events: Extemp and Original Oratory. Shall we ever forget the cheering in the top section of Indus- tries Hall when our John Paul Jones Rodgers won the medal for second place in ex-emp.

tured second place at Fifth Avenue High School in We Compete To Defeat In a forensic frenzy we whirled into the ,43 and '44 session of speech work de luxe, as senators for a day , at the Student Congress, Munhall. The A- de- bating team, Mary Ellen Curran, Ann Daniels, Alice Marie Skirpan, and Ellen Frances Rodgers, represented Seton Hill at the Congress. Although we kept the Pages busy with unoHicial notes, and Sergeant-at-Arms important with extri- cating senators, we did profit by our 'peek into the government. Then followed the tournament at Hurst with the mixed teams of Seton and Vincents, but mostly there was the judgels confustion when Sam Laughlin said that he was from Seton Hill. Shall we ever forget our traitor, Mary Ellen Curran, who won for St. Vincents, when she and Bob Haight debated together? Remember the Catholic Federation Tournament, Harmon Douglas, the boy from the country, and the big feast at Hotel Webster-Hall, thanks to Mr. Rimbach.
