I rise to a point of order-a point of privilege-a. point of interrogation! What are these parliamentary phrases, debate terms, and quotes scribbled on your margin? Who inscribed Wuthering Heightsl' on your pages? And why are all the Saturdays of Jan. Feb. and March marked as 'special memories? Any Seton Forensic fan for friendsj can answer all these questions and add many tales of her own about our 1944-45 Speech Season. Those parliamentary phrases are found on Nov. pages, during the days when Setonites first caught Congressional fever. We had scarcely organized our League this year, when Student Congress con- tagion caught the Hill. Negatives, Affirmatives, Chairmen, even Timekeepers tore into the job of becoming Honorable Senators and Representa- tives. Father Edmund and his boys lighted the way for the big metamorphosis by holding a little', Q00 membersj Congress of their own, just to initiate green hands. Setonites learned Helen Robertshaw, Nancy Schuey, Pat Hurley, Ruth G dd Tony Menaglia, Dorothy Keenan, Kit Woods, Joan S'n tn Ann Mattimore. 5 easily for wasn't Ellen Frances elected Pres. of Senate, Peggy Smith and Dee Dee party leaders? VVasn,t it a great day for the Academy? From St. Vincent we carried our parliamentary pro- ceedings to the Annual Western Pennsylvania Session of the Congress at Donora. Resolved: The Legal Voting Age Should Be Reduced To Eighteen-with adjournment of Congress the debate season was onv and we were in the swimv-notes and quotes galore fortified our debaters as they launched into the Saturday Cycle of Tournaments to out-quote, out-explain, out-smile, and out-do all opposition. While we were still weighing Youth's Right to Voten Saturdaily , the all-important Speech Tournaments loomed upon the scene and Seton's halls echoed with Encounters with Inter- viewers , Illusions , Wuthering Heightsn and 57 other varieties of speeches being polished and sharpened for the climactic, final contests.
