Suffolk University Debating Club The success of a club is not only measured by the wins a team receives, but also the spirit and support it can command. SUDS, this year, with a better than average record of wins, acquired more popularity and recognition from the student body than any past year. The team has met and overwhelmed, with surprise tactics, such teams as Harvard, Holy Cross, Rutgers, Amherst and a host of others. The debating society met more than forty colleges in a home and home series of debates. The total number of debates were seventy-eight for the season. The fall season started the team off with a trip to Vermont to participate in the intercollegiate debating tournament at the University of Vermont. In the later half of the season, SUDS participated in tournaments with Boston Uni- versity, Tufts College, West Point and the University of Virginia. The topic of the collegiate year was, RESOLVED: That the United States Should Nationalize the Basic Non-Agricultural Industries. Under the guidance of faculty advisor, Ioseph H. Strain, the team won several enviable honors, such as defeating the tournament champions and triumphing over some of the name colleges. The climax of the debating club successes was reached when the club engaged Salem State Teachers College in a radio debate over Station WSEX.

Suffolk Dramatic Workshop The Suffolk Dramatic Workshop this year met the challenge of previous years with a series of three entirely different plays. These productions added new brilliance to the Workshop's already shining reputation. BERTHA, THE BEAUTIFUL TYPEWRITER GIRL, was chosen by the club with the idea or reviving the spirit of the Gay Nineties. The result was hi- larious and the mellerdramer met with the complete approval of the cap- acity audiences who witnessed the first play of the year. In keeping with the Christmas spirit, the next play presented an abrupt change in mood. The Workshop's presentation of WHEN THE CHIMES BANG was inspiring. A pageant, based on a 13th century miracle play, the script was written by our director, Mr. George D. Kirwin. The costuming and setting were elaborate and effective, sending the student body homeward for the holidays with a real feeling of humility and Yuletide fellowship. The third production was a challenge to the versatility of the Workshop, because the play chosen was currently being featured at the neighbor- hood theaters. THE HASTY HEART was such an overwhelming success from the point of view of artistic achievement that it set a new high for all future productions of the Suffolk University Theater. Never before had such a fine performance been seen in the university theater. Never before had the efforts of the Workshop members been so enthusiastically accepted and so thoroughly enjoyed by so many people. Suffolk Dramatic Workshop is especially fortunate in having as its di- rector, Mr. George D. Kirwin, one of the most outstanding exponents of mod- ern dramatics. Under his superior direction and professional guidance, Suf- folk has established among her contemporaries, a new high in dramatic achievements for university productions.
