It is one of the extra curricula courses for a high school student, for it develops initiative in the girl or boy, imparts to him a broader scope of the every-dayl' problems that are facing state or nation, and instills a sense of confidence in ,the student, as the debater knows that his statements, based upon thorough knowledge of the case, will be accepted. Debating aims to develop leader- ship and mould strong characters by the offering of opportunities to meet situations with readiness and to assume many responsibilities which are O demanded on various occasions. i DATE SCHOOL ST.

Affirmative IIE history of every land, and therefore, the history of the develop- ment of civilization, is interwoven with the history of public speaking. The old proverb that says, The pen is mightier than the sword, might easily be revised to say, The tongue of the public speaker is mightier than either the pen of the writer or the sword of the soldier. QFrederiek Law.j Public speaking, in some form or another, has always existed-for it is the expression of people's hopes and ambitions. In the days of ,76, Patrick Henry, James Otis, and John Adams advanced in public declamation the nation's bitterness against tyranny. When the question of slavery con- fronted thc United States, Daniel Webster, .Iohn Calhoun, Ilenry Clay and others led the country toward closer union and stronger national life through public speech. The national spirit of America demands public speakers and cries for leaders in politics. Any man or woman who can express opinions and sentiments in public has some power of leadership. The world will dis- cover the public speaker and he will rise from obscurity to as high a position as his abilities extend, simply because ofthe nation's great need for good public speakers.

ve RI TAS I , Y , CiiAni.r:s. I imLi-Lx' JOHN filillfl-'l'l'II IiENNl'I'I'H Bolisovi-:T Prcsiden! Chroniclcr Field Worker' Science Club Science is but a mere heap of facts, unless linked to the throne of God: then it becomes a golden chain of truths. God in His Infinite Wisdom is inconceivable to the mind of man. How stupendous and majestic must be His Intellect to have constructed that golden chain in seven days-the magnitude and beauty of nature as all around us. Oh! How can atheists exist in this world of ours, which bespeaks God from whichever direction we gaze. We know that men have offered their lives at the altar of science, that many compounds are yet a secret to the mind of man, that science is the most interesting subject we can pursue and that once it attracts our interest the spell its completeness and perfection exerts over us is diflicult to break. As these facts gradually presented themselves to the Biology class of '26 and '27 we realized once more the narrowness of the scope our intellects covered, and with view to better study, new interest and more extensive field work we organized the Torricellians with officers chosen from our class. It has been our purpose to make our class interesting by research and field work, to provide our biological laboratory with new specimens, and prepare weekly speeches which would prove interesting to our teacher and classmates. In these enterprises we have to a certain extent succeeded, and it is with sincere regret that we break the spell Biology has exerted over us. IVIARGARET KCJRNMEIER, '27. One Ilundrcd Ten
