Ward Williams, Junior, was victorious over contestants from nine other colleges of Kansas to win first place in both oratory and extempor-aneous speaking at the State Old Line Content held at Manhattan on March 11 and 12. This was the first time in recent years that the same contestant won first place in both divisions of the Old Line Contest. It was also the first time in ten years that McPherson College has won first place in oratory, although in that time the local school has won three second place decisions.

Although extemporaneous speaking is not stressed on our own campus, M. C. has won first place in this division now for the second consecu-tive year. John "Jack" Lehman was the winner in 1931.

Contests held at Manhattan includ-ed four divisions—one each in oratory and extempore for both men and women. The winners in the finals of each of these were as follows; men's oratory — McPherson first, Southwestern second; men’s extempore— McPherson first, Southwestern second; women’s oratory-—Bethany first, Southwestern second; women's oratory—Bethany first, Southwestern second; women's extempore— Southwestern first, Manhattan second, of the total placings after the two preliminary rounds held before the finals, Southwestern was credited with seven and McPherson was second with four.

Mildred Doyle, McPherson contestants in the women's divisions of both extempore and oratory, led her (Continued on Page Three)

Although not as much publicity was sained by them because of the fact that they engaged entirely in non-decision contests this season, the McPherson women's debate team and the men’s second team were far from idle.

Both teams were represented in pairs at the Winfield Pre-Season Tourney. Both women's teams were eliminated in the fifth round, one of them losing to the winners of the division. The men's second teams, competing in the junior college divi-sion, were eliminated in the prelim-inaries

During the season the second team engaged in the following debates; Groveland, Elyria, debated each oth-er; Eldorado Junior college, dual debate; Hutchinson Junior college, dual debate. The women's team held dual debates with C. of E., Bethany Hutchinson junior collage, and Bethel.

In the spring of 1929 John "Jack" Lehman won the State Peace Oratorical contest, then submitted his oration to the national contest and was first place with an additional sixty dollars to a similar amount he had won in the state event. Lehman was always an outstanding man in foren-sics. After graduation in '31 he enrolled in Harvard Law School, but was forced to quit on account of ill health.

COMING EVENTS

Fri., April 29- W. A. A. Play Day, Sat., April 30-"M" Club banquet, College Church, 8:30 p. m.

On Tuesday night, April 5, the McPherson College debaters defeated the Bethany Swedes, in a victory of four judges to one to break a tie for the state championship and give M. C. its sixth state championship in the twelve years or debate here coached by Prof. Maurice A. Hess.

The state title was the second in succession for the Bulldog debaters at they won last year from Wichita university in the final contest.

In the last twelve years McPherson College teams have taken part in eight state championship debates, thereby taking two second place decisions in addition to the six championships. It will be at least four years before any college debate team in Kansas can equal the record of victories claimed by McPherson.

In the final debate Lilburn Gott-mann and Ward Williams, McPherson affirmative team, met Lorin Bib-ley and Carl Olson on the Bethany floor, coming home with a two to one decision. Meanwhile Lawrence Lehman and Walter Wollman, M. C. negative squad, had a hard fought contest on their hands but managed to win the decision of both of the two judges in the local college chapel.

On February 17 the McPherson affirmative team defeated the Bethany negative squad in the first con-

Fri., April 15—What Prof. Maurice A. Hess, coach of forensics, classes as "the most successful forensics season in the history of McPherson College" was concluded tonight when Lawrence Lehman, senior, won the State Peace Oratorical Contest held at Friends university, Wichita, with his oration on “Contrasts." The award was $60 in cash.

Lehman was a member of the varsity debate squad, which won the state championship again for McPherson, and has taken an active interest in forensics while in college. In addition to a heavy load of academic work he has participated in many extra-curricular activities. Including the varsity male quartet, the college chorus and men's glee-club, the Y. M. C. A., the World Service Group, and for the last two years has held a student pastorate in the Church of the Brethren at Holland,

In his prize-winning oration he first drew a contrast between Gandhi and Mussolini, then showed that there is a similar contrast between nations in their attitudes and acts in relation to war and peace. His outline was definite and well-chosen. He will submit the oration for the national contest, where judging is based on thought and composition alone.

In the nine years of the contest McPherson has placed five first plan decisions, two seconds, one third, and one fourth. During the last five years the local school has won four firsts and one second. Altogether McPherson has taken $480 the contest prize money.

Back in the days of the Academy at McPherson the local forensic art-ists seem to have been winning also. After the advent of Prof. Maurice A. Hess to the local school the record was as follows, in academy debate; 1932- Second place (lost to Cen-tral college)

Sat., Dec 5- Lilburn Gottmann and Ward Williams, comprising one of the men's varsity teams representing McPherson in the Southwestern Pre-Season Tourney held at Winfield, returned to McPherson today with a handsome silver cup to show that they had won second place in the each men's vanity division of the contest.

The M. C. team competed with sixty-one other teams from seven states of the Middle West Arkansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado, and Kansas. I48 teams in all were on hand for the tournament, from fifty different schools. Sixty-two of those were men's teams from four year colleges, thirty-six were women's teams, and the remaining fifty wore rated as junior college teams.

The McPherson team which won second place passed the preliminaries with no trouble, then started out by defeating Friends university. C. of E. was their second Victim, and in the next round Wichita university. They drew a bye for the eighth round. In the ninth and final round they lost to Southwestern, by a two to one vote, thus taking second place in the tournament.

Four rounds of preliminary debates were run off on Friday evening. On Saturday morning the decisions were announced, and any team which had lost more than one of the four contests was eliminated. The McPherson men's varsity team composed of Lawrence Lehman and Walter Wellman was eliminated in the preliminaries, as were both pairs of our second team entrants, competing in the Junior college division. Both McPherson women's teams survived the preliminary rounds, and both lost out in the fifth round, the team composed of Lillian Carlson and Mildred Doyle losing to the Hastings Teachers College team of Hastings, Nebraska, winners of the division.

The Southwestern College tournament at Winfield this year was the largest so far in the history of the contest, being second in size only to

WILLIAMS TAKES SECOND

IN ANTI-TOBACCO MEET

Tues., March 8- Ward Williams took second place this evening in the State Anti-Tobacco Oratorical contest sponsored by the Kansas Intercolle-giate Anti-Tobacco Association. The contest was held at Sterling college. Williams' subject was "As One Re-former to Another."

Miss Frances Christian from Friends Bible School at Haviland won first place, and third place was taken by Miss Vera Postlewaite of Central college. Last year the contest was won by Miss Lucile Crabb of McPherson college, the meet tak-ing place on the M. C. campus.

Prof. Hess and His Men Have Won Reward of Consistent Hard Work

This edition of The Spectator is dedicated to the McPherson college students who are engaged in forensic activities, who, under he able lead-ership of their coach, Prof. Maurice A. Hess, have enjoyed the most successful season in the history of the college.

Through consistent hard work, coupled with at least a fair share of native ability, these students have developed a machine which swept through contest after contest with some of the strongest opposition which could be found, and have "brought home the bacon'' for their school.

The varsity debate team, starting out with two veterans and two men comparatively inexperienced in varsity debate, swept through their debate schedule to win the sixth state championship since the coming of Coach Hess, with the loss of only one contest during the season. Two members, Ward Williams and Lil-burn Gottmann, took second place in the 7-state Pre-season Tourney held at Southwestern university, competing with sixty-one other strong college teams.

In oratory, too, the M. C. men “did the impossible" during the 1932 season, Ward Williams, member of the varsity debate squad, entered the State Anti-Tobacco Oratorical contest held at Sterling college, but perhaps due to the fact that "this is a wo-(Continued on Page Three)

McPherson college orators under the coaching of Prof. Maurice A. Hess seem to have had a habit of winning during the last decade. A survey of the results of three orator-ical contests in which the local school has participated, namely the contests in Anti-Tobacco Oratory, Peace Oratory, and Old Oratory, shows that M. C. orators have won a total of fourteen first place decisions and nine seconds, as compared with only fourteen first places won by other schools entered. (This excludes three years in Anti-Tobacco Oratory for which the record could not be locat-ed).

Anti-Tobacco Oratory 1919—Howard Engle, first; 1920 —J. W. Maxey, first; 1921- David Brubaker, first; 1922, 1923, 1924-No record; 1925—John Whiteneck, first; 1926 -Ora Huston, second; 1927—Ora Huston, first; 1928— Henry Hall, first; 1929—Lloyd Diggs, first; 1930—Ward Williams, fourth; 1931—Lucille Crabb, first; 1932—Ward Williams, second.

REPORTERS

Agnes Bean	Una Ring	Mattie Shay
Dorothy Dresher	Adelyn Taylor	Everett Fasnacht
Mildred Doyle	Dennis Andes	Viola De Vilbiss
Faculty Adviser		Prof. Maurice A. Hess

This special Forensics edition of The Spectator is not being published because the department of forensics is the only one that is accomplishing anything, but because it is representative of the quality of work McPherson college students and instructors are doing. In scholarship, in music, in sports (yes, in sports, for when the game is fairly played both sides win regardless of the score), we have a record of winning of which we may be proud.

Of course the primary reason for this edition now is the fact that Professor Hess and his pupils have just finished the most successful season in the history of the school. Starting out with only fair prospects for debaters and orators, the instructor searched out new participants and worked with the ones already found until he had developed contestants who could, as usual, "do the impossible." The men and women under his guidance have learned that it takes hard work and hours of it to get anywhere in forensics, as in any other line of work, and to their response to this fact may be attributed their consistent record of victories.

Forensics, perhaps more than any other part of the curriculum, are representative of the abilities and achievements for which a college stands. The debater, orator, or extemporaneous speaker must know history, psychology, philosophy—he must have control of his body, his voice, his expression—he must read and study constantly on his general subject and other fields also—In fact, the entire scope of the college curriculum contains something which the forensics contestant needs.

Students who have the ability and inclination should take part in forensics. Next year one of our champion orators, two of the varsity debate team, and several of the women’s team and second team will be gone, and others will need to step in to fill their places. If nothing else, the prize money should be an inducement. This year M. C. orators have already won eighty-five dollars in cash. During the history of the state Peace Contest we have taken $480 of the prize money. But the training is perhaps worth more to the contestant than the money be may win.

Although this edition is published entirely at the suggestion of The Spectator staff, we appreciate the cooperation of Professor Hess in furnishing material for which we have asked, and wish him and his pupils another successful season next year.

not better than your best friends think you to be.—Lavater.

The number of square people, not the number of square miles, makes a country truly great.

Wed., April 20- Miss Edith Mc-Gaffey addressed the student body in a short chapel talk this morning. Her theme was that on the art of conversation. "Conversation is an art and may be learned," was one of her statements.

Mis McGaffey stated that there is no worse advertisement than bad speaking. The voice seems to be the essential person himself. The voice may say more about oneself than the words which are spoken, even to the extent of "separating the golden from the glided." She also said that it makes some difference what one talks about.

The art of conservation is import-ant and students should become efficient in the art in order that life may be more fully enjoyed in more accurate speaking

Following this address Miss Jessie Brown, piano professor, and Myretta Hammon played a piano duet using two pianos. The number played was the "Last Movement of G Minor Con-certo" by Mendelssohn.

The McPherson College Summer School session for the coming sum-mer will begin May 30 and end July 29. May 30 has been designated as registration day. The student may earn nine hours credit in the McPherson College Summer School in one summer's work.

Summer study has to be quite popular in the last few years and students have found it quite advan-tageous to do away with the usual long vacation. Long vacations are now generally considered uneco-nomical from the eductaional as well as from the social and industrial points of view. The courses offered in Mc-Pherson College Summer School are similar and in most instances iden-tical to those offered in the regular semester curriculum.

As stated in the McPherson College Bulletin Supplement, the summer session provides opportunities for students and teachers to pursue work toward the realization of the following objectives; (1) The wise Invest-ment of a part of the summer in study enables the student to complete work required for a Bachelor's degree. In three years. (2) To adjust irregularities in courses and fulfill group and major requirements. (3) To qualify for advanced grade of certificates. (4) To complete the re-quirement in practice teaching. (5) To meet requirements for renewal of various types of certificates. (6) To keep constantly growing in the teaching profession; and (7) to review the common branches in preparation for the county examinations.

The Summer School had a record attendance last summer with a total of 170, besides a grammar school of more than 30 students, which was conducted as a model school for there taking practice teaching. There were 40 special music students, among the 170 summer school stu-dents, last year.

The teaching staff for this year's summer term consists of efficient and experienced instructors. Dr. V. F. Schwalm is President of the Col-tags; F. A. Replogle is Director of the Summer School, Dean of the Col-lege, and instructor in Education.

McGaffey, Dean of Women and teacher of Englih; Dr. J. H. Hershey, professor of Science; J. H. Fries, business manager of summer school; Dr. J. D. Bright, professor of History and English; Maurice A. Hess, Re-views of Common Branches; Miss Mary Fee, supervisor of Practice Teaching; Jessie Brown, director of Piano Department; Fern Lingenfel-ter, Public School Music, and Piano; and Clara Colline, Art teacher.

The courses offered in the summer school will consist of such as the following: Education courses, including Psychology, Methods, Practice Teaching, etc.; English, including Rhetor-ic, and Literature courses; History and Government: Industrial and Applied Art; Philosophy; Reviews; Science, including Chemistry and Physiology; Music; and Piano.

May 30 has been set as Registra-tion day, and on the following day classes will begin. The school day will start at 7 A. M. each day and will end at 12:30 P.M. The summer School Commencement will be held on Friday, July 29.

Fri., 22—The Senior class was in charge of the chapel program this morning with Gilbert Myers, president of the class, presiding, Mr. Myers presented to Dr. H. J. Harnly the shrubbery which the seniors planted east of the administration building.

Myreta Hamman gave a reading. "The Man in the Shadow", and Vera Flora sang "Trees", at the opening of the program. Miss Flora was ac-companied by Evelyn Saylor, who also played the prelude and postiude.

The stage had been decorated with ferns and flowers by Roy Peebler and Luther Horn.

Cheer up! Only a dentist should look down in the mouth.

Late Sunday night, amid frequent showers of rain and overshadowing clouds, the juniors gathered to leave the campus for parts unknown. After considerable trouble experienced in starting the cars to be used (caused by the pranks of certain vandals, some say seniors) they were off.

Sometime during the small hours of the morning they landed at Twin Elms, northwest of McPherson, to camp for the remainder of the night. After breakfast Monday morning they landed at Twin Elms, northwest of McPherson, to camp for the re-mainder of the night. After break-fast Monday morning they started for Horsethief Canyon, under skied which had cleared until a day of fair weather was assured.

Having arrived at their destination the sneaking juniors spend the day in playing games, including baseball and horseshoe, in sleeping and read-ing, and most of all in hiking about to explore the many interesting spots

DEBATE AND ORATORY

However, he soon made up for failure to win first in this contest by running away with honors in both oratory and extemporaneous speak-ing at the State Old Line Oratorical contest, held at Manhattan, bringing back to McPherson two handsome silver trophies. Williams was the first in the history of this contest to win first in both oratory and extem-pore.

Two weeks ago Lawrence Lehman, a senior and also serving his first year on the varsity debate squad, en-tered the State Peace Oratorical con-test at Friends university, Wichita, competing with representatives of six other Kansas colleges. The judges gave him the decision for first place honors, and with it the first prize of sixty dollars in cash. Lehman is entering his oration in the National Peace contest, to be Judged in thought and composition alone.

Meanwhile the women’s varsity debate team and the men's second team were far from Idle, but their achieve-ments have not received the publicity because they have been content to enter non-decision debates in order to help a little morn in the success of the varsity team. In the Winfield tourney they made very creditable records, but failed to place among the winners. Others besides those mentioned also made good records in oratory.

The McPherson college student body, faculty, and constituency join in congratulating the M. C. forensic winners upon their success during the season.

Y. M. MEN CONSIDER

OCCUPATIONS FOR SUMMER

President V. F. Schwalm has an-nounced some very interesting and valuable assembly programs which are to be given within the next few weeks, preceding Commencement. There are some of the topics to be used as subjects of the programs: "Accuracy and Promptness as Factors of Success"; "Dependability, as an Asset in Life”; "Attitudes as They Affect Life": "Creativeness, What it is and How to Promote It”: "Mob-mindedness, and How to Avoid It": "Reality in Religion, What It is and What Militates Against It."

Sun., April 24—The college Chris-tian Endeavor program tonight was centered on missions. The subject of the discussion was "What contributions to Civilization are Missionaries Making?"

The first talk of the program was by Royal Frantz, who gave the story of Joseph Damien, a missionary among lepers. Damien was so unsel-fish that he gave his health and life in work with these incurables.

The story of Cantabene, was given by Grace Heckman. Cantabene was an orphan girl of India, who grew up in a mission school. The story told of her appreciation of mission work, and of her active part in it.

Bernice Fowler read a paper written by Ethel Sherry, on"Bonding in the Kingdom”. The paper presented the worthwhileness of Christian leaders.

Everett Fasnacht was leader of the discussion, and Ellen Steinberg led in group singing.

ALL-SCHOOL PICNIC

TO BE NEXT TUESDAY

The 1932 All-School Picnic for McPherson College is scheduled to take place next Tuesday, May 3, according to plans made by the committee in charge. The place where the picnic will take place has not yet been selected, but is to be announced soon.

Next Saturday night, April 30, the McPherson College’ "M" Club will hold its annual banquet and get-to-gether in the parlors of the College Church, beginning at 8:30 o'clock. It is expected that many old grads and former students will be on hand for this occasion, as well as the "M" men now enrolled in M. C. They are entitled to bring their friends of the opposite sex.

Prof. J. A. Blair is to be toastmaster of the program which follows the banquet. The main ‘feature of this program will be short, informal talks by a large number of the men present. An effort will be made to have a talk from a representative of each class. Dean F. A. Replogle is to give a short talk, and a play is to be given for the guests. The remainder of the program will be musical, the music being furnished by an orchestra composed of college students and by Pascal Davis, McPherson high school student who will entertain with cornet solos.
