Schultz Niesen, Pinarcl Qaaenuc Qaaufz zqcfiue The Whitewater Forensic Association and the newly-installed Pi Kappa Delta Chapter enjoyed an active year despite war-time conditions. At the beginning of the year, Pi Kappa Delta was composed of Dorothy Karlson, Mary Earle, Dean Schultz, and Genevieve Bachhuber. Upon the graduation of the first three- named members, only Genevieve Bachhuber remainedjcontinu- ing in the rather unusual position of president as well as sole member. ' The Whitewater Forensic Association, sponsored the Ninth An- nual Whitewater Debate and Discussion Tournament. Its success may be largely attributed to Dr. E. H. Evans, sponsor of both Pi Kappa Delta and the Whitewater Forensic Association. ln January the debaters took part in a tournament at Normal, Illinois, and they attended the Provincial Convention and Tourna- ment ot De Kalb, Illinois, in March. 26 Top: Hopkins,-,Karlson, Zar Middle: Dr. Evans, Hoessel Bottom: Mullikin, Bachhuber
