1938 Cedrus Yearbook

Sitting: James Anderson, Mrs. Ault, Justin Hartman. Standing: Harold Shaw, Raymond Sisson, Cecil Thomas. The debate teams of Cedarville College have had a very successful season this year. The affirmative team consisted of Ray Sisson, Cecil Thomas and Harold Shaw. The negative team was composed of James Anderson and Justin Hartman. The coach of the debate squad of Cedarville College was Mrs. Marguerite C. Ault, who deserves much credit for her persistence and patience in molding a forensic team. The first debate was with Rio Grande College, the teams splitting the decision. Dr. Breese of Wittenberg College, head of the Department of Speech, judged the debates. Later in the season both teams met Wilberforce University in a non-decision debate. Then the teams went to Cincinnati where the negative team debated the Cincinnati Bible Seminary. The next stop was at Dayton University at Dayton. The negative team won by a decision of the Dayton U. Public Speaking classes. The affirmative debate was non-decision. The final stop was at Manchester, Indiana, where the debate tournament was held. Cedarville had to go to Huntington because of crowded condi- tions at Manchester College. The teams considered the trip a success, having won 4out of 12 debates. The question for debate this year was "Resolved that the National Labor Relations Board should be empowered to enforce arbitration of all industrial disputes."
