Galliren. The Debate of the Month Club THE knightly maidens of the Modern and American History guilds ventured a worth-while extra-curricular project, when, under the direction of their Adviser, they organized a Debating Club for the purpose of studying and discussing world problems. They drew up a constitution, and elected officers, with Marietta Tanfield, President, Margaret Maag, Vice-President, Phyllis Naramorc, Secretary, and Lucy Bedard, Treasurer. To retain membership, each girl was required to take part in an open discussion twice a month, and in a public debate every two months. The most outstanding debate was on the question, Resolved: That Immigration Is the Main Reason for Unemployment, presented during senior assembly in the Study Hall. As the year draws to a close, all the members agree that their club work proved very pleasant and profitable, and that they acquired a store of knowledge that will help greatly in the service of the King. —Margaret Maag.

THE 1931 DAYESYE Modern History RIDING forth in quest of learning, a group of knightly Maidens came upon the -Castle of Modern History, where they found the Chatelaine ready to aid them in their search. She gave them books, volumes of history, of biography, and periodicals, wherein they might find the lore of modern times. She gave them papers to write on “What the Nations are Doing to Relieve Unemployment,” and on the influence of the music, art and literature of the lands from whence their ancestors came. She organized a Debating Club to discuss topics relating to the work being done by the class. She accompanied them to the Forty-Seventh Session of Congress, and to the Historical Museum, where, in the archives, they saw many interesting manuscripts. Later they were brought to the Walker Gallery, and to the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. And finally she sent them forth rejoicing, with a new appreciation of the peoples of the earth, which they may use in the service of the King. —Audrey Haverland. I 26]
