The First Yell Session (by Charles Reagan) Yea, RAH, RAH, Syracuse! Students from the high school and the Seventh and Eighth grades joined together in the first “yell session” of the year last Tuesday. Led by the high school yell leaders, Bill Gladieux and Louie Byland, they opened with the school song. Sheets with the yells printed on them were passed’out before the meet, with the idea that the yells should be memorized as soon as possible. The students seemed to be very enthusiastic with their new yells. This is the first year that the high school has had two boys as yell leaders. “Speak Easies” News The “Speak Easies” club decided against attending the Purdue Debate Conference this year. Purdue each year has a conference in which all the schools in the state are invited to attend. During the two day course professors from the University lecture on the topic for debate, demonstrate the various debating techniques, and hold a “Student Legislative Assembly.” They stated that they will not take up the state debate topic and that they were busy with other activities and therefore did not have time for the Conference.

Facing us is the umpire—clock in hand. “This will be a three minute time test” are his familiar first words. “Is everyone ready?” “No! No! No! Shouts of panic arise from your corner as you discover —no paper. After borrowing paper from the nearest neighbor—l mean, of course, the nearest one that still is speaking to you—we focus our eye on the field in front of us, calm our hands and get into position for the first hit. We try everything the John’s Passing Parade movies tell us on how to relax, but achieving a pjl-low-like sag as close as we can get. TIME OUT! Confusion grips you. Now what have you done? Momentary relief come when you discover it’s not what you have done, but what you haven’t. Rapidly we slug out our name in the upper hand corner.
