Phi DELTA WINS AGAIN
A Good Audience-A Great Debate
The Speakers and Speeches as
They Appeared to The Citizen Re-
porter.

All during the week preceding the
debate. which took place Friday nisht,
students could be heard saying. Il
can hardly wait for the decision"
The excitement was intense and
wholesome-just as It should be on
the eve of the greatest Academic
event OF the year. But then to think
that with all this interest and anx-
iety Prof. Dinsmore should have pro-
longed the suspense after the decis-
ion was In his hands. There were
some sets OF nerves that were at the
swapping point and. but for the fact
that he provoked his audience
to uproarious laughter as he withheld
the decision, who knows what would
have happened? But among other
things Dinsmore is philosopher
The laughter was a fitting prepare
ton for the shock that was impend-
ing-of Joy that follows victory; OF
chargin that comes with defeat.
But the decision came and with 1t
pandimonium and silence. Pandimon-
ium on Phi Delta's side OF the house;
silence from A. Z.-silence until they
too became philosophers, and then It
was PANDIMONIA.
II was a great debate. Everybody
thought so. And there was much
room for the Joy and the shouting.
but little place for chagrin and ST.
lence. They were of necessity tenn
porary and fleeing. There was success
enough for all-manly debate; oi-
cal reasoning; a good degree of elo-
quence; persuasive appeal. These
were properties common to the two
sides-nearly equally common.
But II one should discriminate
and that is what a debate calls for
II might be said that the subject de-
hated is an important consideration.
And, after saying that the affirmative
had a better knowledge OF the sub
ject-both sides of the subject-were
the masters Of their own side, and
had forseen and prepared for every

A BEREA REUNION

1t is doubtful whether In any home
outside of Kentucky there were 30
many Berea students gathered at
Christmas time as in Todd Seminary,
Illinois. Nine Bereans beside 9TH
ers sat down to the Christmas dinner
and one of the party. who ought to
know, declared 1t the most beautiful
table he had ever seen. But it's
beauty did not hinder the guests from
enjoying to the full the bounteOus
dinner set before them. Course after
course was dispatched in a way to
sratlfy the hostess as well as the
consumers. With 30 many Bereans at
the table there was q little s.lKen
thread of memory busy no doubt IN
all our hearts and 1t was precious
tie to bind US all together. A house
party of young people insures merri-
ment. Even on Christmas morning
the hostess helped to form a merry
ring to dance around the Christmas
tree, improvising songs as they might,
and then, before gilt was distri-
buted, seated herself at the piano to
sing Joy to the World" in which
all joined as heartily as in the
dance. To the mother In the crowd,
the one seemed as pleasing to God as
the other, for to be merry on Christ
mas morning is the right Of every
person, young and old. On Monday
Lillian Ambrose Joined us and then
there were ten in our party and what
with tobogganing, candy pulling,
bowling and jolly games the young
people ran riot and for once forgot
care and trouble and sang songs
whose sweetness fingers still in
our memories. All too soon the
guests began to scatter and left with
the host and hostess the happy feel
ing that they had given joy to many.
Principal Hill declared that it was
a great Joy to him to have the
scattered Bereans feel they had a
claim on the Todd Seminary home.
II there was happier or merrier
crowd in the state Of Illinois this
Christmas time 1t could only be be-
cause their capacity for JOY was great
er. The beautiful thought that under
meath all the merriment each Berean
could sing in his heart, praise God
from Whom all blessings flow"
made the week to all Holy as well
as a happy one.
For the satisfaction of Bereans
the names Of those present are ap-
pended:
Mr.. and Mrs. Hill, Carol Hill. Ro-
ger Hill, Clyde Stilwell. Mrs. Rogers,
Anna Dickinson, John Rogers, Tracy
Tuthill and Lillian Ambrose. and cur
welcome guest for an evening, Miss
Hendricks who Is so well known in
