season, which included appearances at various cam- pus programs, at local church services, before clubs in Xenia and Dayton, and a broadcasting program. Two of the members chose the Christmas vaca- tion to have hospital experiences, but the beginning of the second semester found everyone ready for work again. Those studying in the library on Tues- day and Thursday evenings have learned to concen- trate through the harmony of "The Blind Plow- man" or "Prayer Perfect," and they know it is time for the library to be closed when they hear the boys signing off (informally) with "Moon, Moon, Pretty Silvery Moon." The members of the quartette, directed by Mrs. Work,are George Gordon,first tenor; Edward Irons, second tenor; Joseph Free, baritone; Preston Gar- lough, bass; Clyde Hutchison, alternate an accom- panist. GIRLS' QUARTETTE Hartman, F. McLaughlin, Stevenson, Bennett, Bull, Wham. Inter-Collegiate Debates History repeats itself this year in intercollegiate debating at Cedarville College. The standards set last year have been more than equalled. The.number of non-decision debates is less, the decision debates greater. Our team, upholding the affirmative, has engaged in five contests on the question,"Resolved that all banking functions should be regulated by the Federal Government, with deposits guaranteed," and has won four of them. Four of these debates occurred at the Manchester College Debate Tourney held at North Manchester, Indiana. C. C. registered wins over teams representing Wheaton College (Illinois), Huntington College (Indiana), and Manchester College, but lost to Illinois Normal College by a slight margin. The fifth debate of the season and the only home contest was with Wilmington College. Prof. P. B. Brees of Wittenberg College was the judge and gave C. C. the decision by a few points. The sixth and final meet of the year will be at Rio Grande College, Thursday, May 25. C. C. Won there last year,and the boys are determined to repeat the victory. Data regarding future prospects include the following: two members of the team will be lost by graduation, Joseph M.Free and Clyde A. Hutchison, Jr. Their places will be hard to fill. Parenthically, to Joe Free goes more credit than to any one else for the resumption of intercollegiate debating, and both of the boys will be missed because both love to debte and are willing to make real preparation, the latter a virtue not always outstanding. The two remaining members are Walter S. Kilpatrick and Franklin Trubee, both Juniors. These boys love forensic contests and have the spirit that says, "The team first." From these facts, the statement is warranted that the prospects for a strong squad next year are good. Further, the response to the call recently issued for recruits, indi- cates that C. C. will have several teams next season.
