They appeared in the public school
auditorium Monday night under the
auspices of the Baptist ladies of the

tumes are being obtained for the
members of the cast. Music will be
furnished between acts by a special
string orchestra.
From the start it has been the plan !
of the Delta Zetas to make “Just For i
Fun” by far the best play that has
ever been given at Howard College,
and all efforts have been to that end.
The members of the cast are Misses
Elna Almgren, Pauline Ray. Eugenia
Perry, and Frances Bohannon, and
Messrs. E. Lufton. Blasslngame and
Paul Gourley. Misses Almgren and
Ray took part in the first Annual
Delta Zeta play, “The Elopement of
Ellen” both having had considerable
experience in dramatic and play work.
Misses Perry and Bohannon, although
this is their first year at Howard,
are very talented young ladies and
should give very pleasing# perform¬
ances. Paul Gourley and Lurton Blas-
singame, both members of the Sigma

Lift up your heads, ye. sorrowing

And be ye glad of heart,
For Calvary and Easter Day
Earth’s saddeet day and gladdest

Were Just one day apart.”

BARNETT AND WARREN
PUTS JOSELYN UNDER
LOCKE, REFUSES TO
GIVE HIM BAILES AND
RUSH JENKINS
By John Haynes
“Howard won!" This was the pleas¬
ing news brought back by the small
group of students who braved the rain
in attending the aflnual debatb be¬
tween Birmingham, Southern and
Howard Colleges. The debate was
held in the auditorium of Southern
last Friday evening.
The subject which the two teams
argued about is, “Resolved: That the
United States should adopt a policy
of preparedness which will result ifl a
navy equal to that of any other nation
and an available army of 500,000 men.
Clyde Warren and Paul Barnett, as
^Howard’s team took the affirmative
vslde of the subject, and, according to
the Judges and us. won it. William
Jenkins and Edwlne Hush composed
Southern's team and gave Bajmett
and Warren some strong argument.
Warren began the debate as first
speaker on the affirmative. Begin¬
ning with the usual introductory re¬
marks. statement of the question, aftd
division of the argument, he then went
into the proof of the first two points.
William Jenkins followed as first
speaker for the negative.
Since most listeners at a dehate
remember how the debaters talked
more than what they talked about,
probably none in the audience could
tell how each side developed Its argu- ,
ment.
Paul Barnett was the third speaker,
and he spoke. Before he began Vfrith
this continuation of the affirmative
ment he made a brief and some-
at satirical rebuttal to Jenkins’
speech. While Barnett was In the
midst of his oratory the lights wont
out. He said, "As soon as we get
seme light on the subject we will re¬
sume our argument.” Jenkins calmly
and concluded it for the negative. Hla
speech was especially well prepared
A brief rebuttal of the
affirmative's argument concluded hla
speech.
Clyde Warren concluded the debate
with a five minute rebuttal. Both
Warren and Barnett showed through¬
out the debate that they were inti¬
mately acquainted with the subject-
Prof. P. P. Burns, of Howard, pre¬
sided over the debate. His appropri¬
ate retparke on the sportsmanship ex¬
hibited by Birmingham-Southern be¬
tween halves at the annual football
game with Howard last November 29,
in their tribute to the memory of
Coach Cope, added a great deal to
the friendliness of the contest.
The. judges who graciously gave
their services were George Lewie
Batles. Hugh Locke, and Floyd W.
Joselwn.
