DEBATING IS GIVEN A BOOST

Peru Ones More to Engage in For" ensic Bdttle.

A st r onsr feeling on the part of a group of students that a debating sociPty is necessa ry to put Pe ru on the map int e ll ectua ll y (as the football team ha s don e at hletIcally) leI to the organization of a debating so ciety last Friday even· ing under th e leader s hi p of Professor Ea so n, head of the depa rtment of En g lish.

So impo rtant was the subject of debating eon s id e red ; that the entire chapel pe riod Monday was given over to short disc u ssions by representatives from th e facu lty :md s tudent bod y. Professo r J ean, Mi ss Ada Huff, Mi ss Ro se Clark , and Professo r Eas on tall<ed on the value of d eba ting to the individual as we ll as to the school. In part these talks ra n som ew hat as follows:

"Debating s tands as a potent r epresentative of the aims and id eals that form th e basic principles of a ny sc hool. It battles with provinciali ::;m and d eve lops log ical and coher e nt thinkin g. It s timulates the participant 's int erest in present day problt'm s, s in ce these top ics are popularly chos en as suitab le question s of debate The de .., ve lopment of c ertai n facu lties, plu s th e e nlightenment and discipline ar.qu ired by menta l and moral training, are su re to follow as the re su lt of the preparati on and deliv ery of. a series arguments ."

Thou2h inter collegiate debatina is one of the definite objectives for the futur e, the members of this n ew club have other ai ms in view, and no on e p re se nt at the first organi zat i on meet in g could fail to get the se aims as presented by the charter members They have g one in for this thing because they believe that the battles of a debating hall are just as rea l and just as interesting as the fights on the athletic field.

Both the Peru • boys and the Kearn ey hoys were enthusi astic in the p rai se of the cl ea n playing of their opponents.

They sought neither wealth nor fame, but merely the opportunity to worship according to the dictates of their own conscience. Harried from England by .a government over-zealo us to protect and maintain the established form of worship. they first sought refuge in Holland. Tolerance and protection were granted them there, but they found it difficult to preserve their English languae-e and English cuetoms in that foreign en vironment. The spirit of nationality, strong within them, the spirit of se lf-governm ent clamoring for expression, and the fear of absorption by the Dutch nation, finally drove them forth to try their fortunes in the new country where

The Peru train in g high school team played its first game of the season at Fa ll s City last Friday ev';ni ng It was an easy victory for Peru who took their opponen ts by storm the first ha lf, gaining 11 points before Falls City scored at all. Cowe ll was the heavy shooter in this half, caging five long s hots in nearly straight s ucc ess ion. The score was 16 to 5 in Peru's favor at the e nd of the first half.

Fo il s City came back in the second half .J.ike a bunch of furious tigers and fo,ught well to the end of the game. , They he ld Cowell down, but Wilson met the occasion with eq ually good &hooting, mak · ing four field goals. Delzell and Brunsdon did some splendid guarding, holding their opponents to practically no baskets in the first half, and making them fight like demons for those in th e half. Following is the lin e up and score:

La st Thursday ni g ht Peru handed the fast Syr a cuse Ath letic A,soI c1at10n team a lemon sandw ich I when they easi ly def ea ted th em by a sco re of 25 to 8. Peru took th e lead afte r a few minutes of play, anr:l continu ed to flop the ball thru the loop for a counter e ver y so often while Svracuse fo und it ha rd to get ci Jse e nou gh to the bas ket to d•) much. Th e first half en ded 14 to 2 The fiashy team work and acc urat e coup led wit h t he ti g ht g ua r di ng of the local s made th em look to th e fan s The fi nal score wa s 25 to 8. Altho the sc ore was pl easi ng in irn ess of th e Pe ru team t he seore does no t tell th e r ea l merits of the two teams.

Basket Ball Ru les for B0ys and Girls. Many peop le f ee l th ey can no t be· come interested in ba sk et ball as pla yed by g ir ls, espe cially when the fielrl is divid ed into t hree sectio ns. The criticisms are that the gam e is cr am p ed, that th ere is no team work, th e forwards and guards do al l th e wo rk. etc., etc. Many of the se t'!riticisms are true, but they are not always so. To become interested in any game one must know th e ru les and the ru les for g ir ls' basket ball, as p ubli shed by the Phys i ca l Edu ca tion A ssoc ia tion are very different from the ru les f or b oys basket ba l l.

I think the most n oticeab le differ e nc e is in the me thod of g uard in g In g uard ing an opp one nt who has the ball, on e mu st not t:mch the body of an opponent w ith any pa rt of one's h e!dy , must not guard wi th arm s in any oth er p lan e than the pl ane of th e bod y, a 'l d mu st not under any conditions, touch the ba ll whi le it is in th e ha nd!-l of the oppo nent. Vio lat i ons of these rul es are fouls and are so called by the refer f!e. A n ot her gr eaL differ en ce is that g irl s are a ll owed only one dr ibb le wh ile boys are a ll owed a ny number so long as th ey do not t ake a double d ribbl e. This , of cours e, makes for more team work and 'less indiv idual p lay.

Election.

February first is election day for the Girls' Clu b. Next year's officers must be chosen on that date. The club has adopted the plan of primary nominations on Tuesday, January 25, and ' 'one hot campaign" for a week. Unlike a class or officer a Girls' Club officer represents and serves the entire school, so the cho ice of candidates rests witb every girl. The nomination is less than a week away and election very soon. So talk for the gi rl you believe iij the "only one." Only seniors and are eligible

Peru Loses Hard Fight to Cotner. Th e game star ted off with both teams a li ttle nervous and playing a stubborn defens i ve game. Aft er a few minutes of play bot h teams began breaking thr u fo r chance sho ts and the score kept climbing slowly, neither team having the edge by more than one or two poi n ts. Captain Ed Rosen qu ist, aft er several long s hots, found his aim a litt le off and began to work the ba ll thru with Carl to closer range, feed i ng to Wilson who fl i pped in the goa ls at close range during this ha lf. Fir st half ended Peru 11, Cotner 10.

Seco nd ha lf both teams were still playing the defensive game and the floor being rather na rrow made the defen se more effective. Once in th is period Cotner boys got in some effect i ve work, coupled with some fre e th rows put the score 15 to 14 one point in the lead. With o nly five minutes to pla y Carl and Ed worked the ball under for goa l each, making it 18 to 15 for Peru It l ooked as tho wi th only minut es to play tha t Peru had it tucked away but something we nt wron g the defens e broke a little a nd E tzenmiller for Cotner got two fairly lon g ope n shots, his hor se s hoes were with him and he s lipped the little leather eavered ball of air thru the r ing upon both occa sions and with the few seconds left to play Pe ru 'found no chance to brea k i nto th e lead again So histor y tells us Co tner won 19 to 18. Peru's floorwork was somewhat handi cap ped by the ab sence of Clark who was not able to m ake the tr ip but Wilson fought ha rd nnd worked un de r the ba s ket for

Last Friday evening the Faculty Dinner Club, meeting fgr the la st time thi s year, celebrated their graduation from their courses in dinner serving. ' Happy they thru the evening, goina from surprise to Rurprise No feature of the commencement Beason was lacking. The first event of the day exercises was the May-pole dance , in which Mr Brown won es pecial applause for the grace of his light steps This was followed by Shakespearean scenes portrayed in moving pictures. Perhaps the most winnin g of the pictures was that of Mr. Greene as Othello adva ncing with evil eye and gleaming blade to slay Mrs. Howie, the fair Desdemona Illness prevented the eloquent youna- class Wilber F. Hoyt, from delivering his passionate and soul stirring class oration, entitled, ''Over the Hills Lies Missouri."

As usual the commencement address was the most dignified part of the commencement program It

The curtains of thE: room in which the comrr,encement exercise s were held we re carefully drawn, and ca re was tak en to all evidences of the evening's fe stivite s. It seems to be g enerally ad mitted that it is not expedient to let the stu'dents know just how frivolous their instructors can be when they start to frivol.

YE OLD TIME PHILO

Interesting Session Held Reviewing Past History

Philo's first summer program was held Friday, with Miss Esther Delzel l as chairman of the evening. As t hi s was the first r eg ular meeting for the newly initiated members, the program was large ly planned to g ive the pa st history and future aim s of the or ga nizatio n. For the number, the by-la ws of the original constitution, formed in 1867, and the constitution written in 1916, which is in present use, were read by the secretary, Miss Alice Glasgow. Following this, Clarence Howie, with his splendid talent and charm s, play ed as a piano- solo the selecti on, "M is erer e '' from " II Tr o-..ato re."

It is rare indeed that a society i ncorporated over fifty y ears ago shou ld ye t have as an a ctive member its first · president. Such is Ph ilo's rare good fortune, and it was with real int er est that Philoma theans o ld and new listened to Wilson E . Majors te ll of the eociety's fo unding, o ne evening fift y -fo ur winters ago, when about fifteen young men gat hered about a wood-stove for which Dr. J. M.

F ri e ndship and Morality."

Mr. Ellis E. Good th en sp oke of what Philo stood for some thirty years later. We learned that Mr. Good wi ll always be an e nthus;a1tic Philoma thean because of the inspiration he received there years ago. We gather also that the inspiratioa was measured not so much from the excellence of the programs as by the length of the intermission between Miss Grace Bauman s mterpretation of a !lpirited. graceful, Spanish dance merited worthy applause. Miss Fern Jones sang "Often" in her clear, ch armin g, soprano Both of these numbers VOICe. were accompan ied by Miss Hilton. In closin6, Mr .

VERY PROFITABLE LECTURE
