Humorous Debate at
Classical Club
Debating on the century old
question “Are Greek and Latin’
Dead?” Ellen Hinckley and
Martlia Viccellio were declared
l?y the Classical Club to have
proved that these subjects are
dead. Margaret Tilglunan and
Virginia Lee Johnson upheld the
side of the question that tiiev are
not dead. The argument wliich
won tiie debate was tliat sin^‘
everything that’s dead is stiff,
and sincQ Greek and Latin ai’e
the stiffest courses known, they,
must be dead. It was also sug
gested, much to the anuisenient
of Dr. Price and the club, that
all the teachers of these courses
are big stiffs! Margaret Tilgh-
man attempted to disprove this
argument by claiming that a
thing may be stiff' and not dead,
giving herself as an example.
Aftei; much argument in which
all four debaters surprised the
club by their oratorical ability,
the club voted in favor of the
death of Greek and Latin.
This humorous debate was the
main feature of the regular
Classical Club meeting on No-
