The club was organized in 1925 and has functioned regularly :for the past two years. This year the different types of argumentation and the technical phases of debating have been studied and discussed. That we have taken part in no'inter-collegiate debates is not due to any fault of ours. Our team was making preparations to meet Jonesboro Baptist College of Jonesboro, Arkansas in a regularly scheduled debate when Jonesboro forfeited to Mayfield. On April 15, three of our members represented Mayfield in the' oratorical and ex- temporaneous contests at Greenville, Illinois. Of these three, one won first, and the other two won third places in the contest. One of the social features of the year was a Kid Party in November. 'J C' l64l
