n l Davis, Irminger, Ienkins, Listrom, Munsey. FORENSICS With a record number of seventy-five students signed up for debate and oratory, forensic work got ofif to a late but enthusiastic start under the guidance of debate coach, Iames Ienkins, and Director of Forensics, P. Caspar Harvey. For the first time in many years an intra-school tournament was held to give new speakers an opportunity for develop- ment, to select the best debaters for intercollegiate teams and to determine a school championship team. The tournament was won by the sophomore men's team of Glenn Muncy and Ladd Listrom in a hotly contested night debate against the second- place senior Women's team of Patty Davis and Helen Irminger. Other students who participated in the tournament were M. C. Ballenger, Buford Casebolt, Barbara Stephenson, Rose Ellen Clark, Wylla Ruth Decker, Lois Schillie, Gene Ritter, Stuart Biggerstaff, David Head, Conard Moore, Dorothy Welden, and Barbara Boggs. At the Drury College tournament in Springfield, Missouri, IeWell's debaters captured second place in their first inter-collegiate competition. Barbara Stephenson and Rose Ellen Clark took second place in the junior division and Pat Davis and Helen lrminger won third in senior women's bracket. The senior men's team of Buford Casebolt and M.

Iewell was predicted to be the underdog, being outweighed and outnumbered both in the line and the backfield. Two thousand madly cheering spectators witnessed the Cardinal classic of the year and saw an inspired Iewell eleven outhght, outrun, and outpass their powerful foes from Kansas. It was an evenly matched tussle in the initial period, but lightning struck after Five minutes of 28 the second quarter when the Cardinals powered 60 yards for their touchdown. Robb's off-tackle smashes, Skeen's end runs, and gains by Short, Benedict, Whitworth, and quarterback Gargotta set up the score, which resulted from a pass from Short to Hyder. Ray Kilpatrick's perfect point-after- touchdown gave Iewell a 7-o lead, which they held until the half. An aroused Baker team came fighting back in the third period and soon scored on a 38-yard run. The conversion attempt hit the iron bar of the goal posts and the score stood at the end 7-6.

MUSIC Students at William Iewell have found this year, more than ever before, oportunities in the field of music. Some have found places of active participa- tion in this department and others have merely benefited from their work without taking an active part. The decision of the college to make it possible for a student to graduate with a major in music was one that had long been needed and was accept- ed with enthusiasm. To assist Dr. David Grosch, head of the department of music, were hired two other professors. Mrs. Grosch teaches voice and Mrs. I. E. Lovan teaches piano. New courses in music theory have been added to round out the curriculum available for music majors and other students. There were approximately sixty students who were known as the Chapel Choir and Glee Club. The Glee Club offers training in group singing and a greater appreciation of fine music. The Glee Club began singing as part of the regular chapel pro- grams in 1944, and since then has been known as the Chapel Choir. One of the first public appear- ances of the choir was on Achievement Day when they sang, Come Ye Thankful People Come,', by Goldsworthy. Early in the winter term rehearsals were begun on the spring production of the music department. 30 One of the added features of the music depart- ment has been the recitals presented by the students of voice and piano. These have provided three evenings of entertainment and inspiration for the students and people of Liberty. They have also given the pupils an excellent opportunity to bring their music before the public. The hrst of these recitals was presented on October seventeenth and featured as vocalists Marilyn Settle, Mary Lee Montgomery, Gene Hollmann, and two out-of-town guests, Maurice Walker and Eugene King. Ioan Ellis and Norma Moss each gave one piano selection. The second recital was held on November twenty-first and presented the following students in voice: Cecil Topping, Ioanne Howard, Gloria Anisman, Willard Middleton, William English, Lola Hanna and Charles Williamson. Piano pupils were also present- ed. These included Shirley Greene, Roger Sommer and Lillie Wise. The third presentation of students in the music department was made on February thirteenth. This recital was evenly divided between piano and voice students, presenting six of each. Those who gave piano selections were William Spittler, Iackie Sortor, Margaret Ellen Beasley, Ioan Ellis, Mary Perry, and Norma Moss. The voice students were Dick Dale, Alice Leavitt, Dorothy G to ch Ft gr pr ou se: thi Cz m. an stl ga soi tim thi pn La Ai OP A fol an ha ed ali th. mi za Ti co Sa Lt Ti Al L1 -W, IVV-Q2i?'Hf7Ef. 2,.,.-f? .
