Its aim, both nationally a n d at Hope, is to promote a n d e n c o u r a g e all speech activity, whether d e b a t e , oratory, or extempore speech. From the fall reunion to the spring b a n q u e t in May, the y e a r h a s b e e n a n eventful one for Michigan G a m m a . For the first time, monthly meetings with guest speakers w e r e instituted, proving highly successful not only in arousing interest but also in aiding in a better m a n a g e m e n t of forensics. The chapter a g a i n sponsored a High School Debate Tournament with m a n y schools participating. Ten d e l e g a t e s were sent to the Province of the Lakes Convention at Kalamazoo to e n g a g e in various speech contests. The spring b a n q u e t , held at the Holland Country Club, w a s a fitting climax to the year.
