Eastwood finishes an outstanding career, this year, with a great deal of glory. His work in the tournament and again in the State Contest proved him to be a debater of the first rank. The debate squad will sorely miss Dick next year, for his logic and eloquence carried the squad over many a trying spot. We- feel however, that Dick's debat- ing career is not ended. To Elizabeth Barton we ex- tend the award in dramatics. Her work in A Doll's House, alone would have merited the honor. In addition to this fine portrayal, Miss Barton gave an e x c ell e n t performance as Norms, one of the daughters- in-law, in Noah and a very clever interpretation of Mrs. Brownlee in Old Love Let- ters. Beside having genuine dramatic ability Miss Barton has an excellent foundation in the technique and mechanics of the theatre. We congratulate a fine, intelligent actress and wish her many more triumphs. 1936, THE TARKIANA The place in the Skulls of Seven for outstanding work in oratory is filled by Mr. Fred- rick Driftmier, a Freshman. Mr. Driftmier has proved him- self to be the most outstanding orator the college has produced since '27. Selected as the college orator, he went to the State Contest at Fulton, where, in spite of the handicap of a severe case of laryngitis he won the honor of representing the State at the National Contest held at Northwestern Univer- sity. With three more years before him, Mr. Driftmier should do truly great things in oratory. To Miss Naidene Goy we present the first award for meritorious achievement in scholarship. Miss Goy has proved herself a scholar in the truest sense of the word and a clever, versatile student. She is finishing her work by extension this year with her usual exceptionally high grades. Naidene has the honor of never having received a grade below A '. We extend our heartiest congratu- lations to Miss Goy for her work in college and best wishes for success after graduation. The first of the two athletic awards goes to Ralph Bennett. Ralph, a Senior, has proved himself a consistent record breaker, and also equally able record holder. He holds the college records in the half-mile, mile, and two-mile. He also holds numerous conference records. His career in basketbali has also been illustrious, for he has been a member of the squad for three years. His removal from college athletics by graduation will be greatly lamented, he being re- garded by all as a truly fine athlete and sportsman. The second scholarship award is pre- sented to Mr. Lawrence Transue. Mr. Transue also has been a member of the honor group for four years and his rec- ord has been exceptionally high. Es- pecially his work in Chemistry has been of a very commendable caliber. We extend our congratulations to a fine student and a very promising scientist. The second place on the Skulls of Seven for outstanding athletic perform- ance is properly awarded to Lynn Wolfe. Captain elect of the Owls Football Team for next year, Lynn is one of the most versatile athletes in the history of the college, actively participating in basket- ball, tennis and track as well. His at- titude on field and court is unimpeach- able. Due to his execptionally fine work on the gridiron, he was this year ac- corded the honor of the position of Captain on the mythical M. C. A. U. all Conference team. page twenty one
