The Yearbook Said Whitman
has been represented by twenty-five speakers in tournaments so far this year.
After having won ten first places and numerous seconds and thirds, as well as
twelve of seventeen rounds at Harvard, last year, another winning season was
anticipated. This is proving to be the case. At the W.S.U. senior division tournament William Deshler
and Walter C. Minnick won first place in men's debate. John Lewallen and
Donald Anderson were third. In women's debate Candace Hansen and Julie Gaisford
placed second. Minnick was second in extemporaneous speaking and Miss
Gaisford third in oratory. The team of Miss Hansen and Miss Esther Hartglass won
second place in the junior division tournament at Centralia College. All but
two of the Whitman debaters were in their first college meet, but won
nineteen debates while losing eleven. Miss Gaisford was the winner of first place in impromptu
at the Western States tournament at Arcadia, California. In addition she was
third in extemporaneous speaking. The debate teams of Deshler and Minnick and the Misses
Hansen and Gaisford were each in second place in their divisions at the
Seattle Pacific College tournament. At the
junior division tournament at the University of Idaho Robert Wallace and
Charles Weidner were awarded second place. Student participation in the
tournaments ranged from 105 to 480 from western colleges and universities. The excellence of the work being done by Whitman debate
teams is being given recognition by invitations to several of the most
important tournaments in the nation this year: Harvard University, the
University of Chicago, Columbia University, and M.I.T. Deshler and Minnick
will be at the latter two meets on successive week-ends. Five other
tournaments remain on the Whitman schedule, according to Professor Dean F.
McSloy, Whitman's Director of Forensics. |
