H.J.C. ORATORICA L ASSOCIATION The H.J.C. Oratorical Association, coached by Mr. Harris, is composed of all the people interested in public speaking. This organization has been instrumental in making the school known in the field of debate. The school has participated in eight debates, having lost only two. During the year elimination contests were held on each question. thus giving each member an opportunity to represent the College in intercollegiate debates. Among those who represented the college in debate were: Edith Lord Carlton. Josephine Fastenrath, Allen Marshall, Tommy Cooksey, Louis Ehlers, and William Stanford. This organization combines the features of each variety of debating society to produce something both unusual and helpful to the students of the College. GUILD SAVANT The Guild Savant has for its aim the promotion of all University activities. It encourages a high standard of ethics and fellowship among its members, and it assists the University in all undertakings. One of the important roles of the Guild is to attain a better relationship between students and faculty. The 1933-34 term was a most successful one for the Guild. It sponsored six dances during the terms for the enjoyment of the students and faculty. It gave its untiring aid to the Freshmen and Sophomores so that their dances might be great- er successes. This organization also assisted in making the Reeeption for the high school seniors one of the best yet held. The omeers of this well-known and much respected club are: Roy Miller, Presi- dent; Ed Boyle, Vice-President; Bill Best, Treasurer; and George Meets. Sergeant- at-Arms. It is hoped that this Guild will continue its good work and function in the new Universitv as it has in history of the Junior College.
