This year our debators have done more than in any other year to establish a national name for Weber in forensic fields. We have sent debators to four tournaments exclusive of the Phi Rho Pi meet in Kansas. They have won second place three times, third once, fourth once, and eighth once. Competing in the biggest tournaments of the West against senior colleges as well as junior colleges, Weber has made one of the best junior college records west of the Mississippi. Also this year Weber gained membership in Phi Rho Pi, national debating society; seven of our students are eligible for that organization's highest achievement degree. Our school sponsored the first annual state scholastic tournament early in March. This policy, continued each year, will attract high school debators of the highest quality.

It was a horse." HARVARD JANITOR: Some consolation for somebody migh'. be found in these remarks in a letter to President Tracy from Woodruff Deem, debating manager last year: "Give my regards to the student body and especially to the group of fellows who mop the halls on Wednesdays and Saturdays. There's a great future in the work. I hope to mop the halls of Harvard before I'm through." ARTISTS AND THEIR PUBLIC: A little incident illustrating the eternal struggle of true art to be understood was witnessed last Thursday afternoon. Clark White, Bruce Jenkins, and an impromptu chorus were draped on the gym balcony singing to the accompaniment of Mr. White at the guitar. Practicality, in the person of Gus Visser, gymnasium janitor, appeared and squei.ned Art with "Shut up that noise, like a dog, howling."
