IQOEQGIQOEQJ Organization of Dramatic Course There has been organized this year, for the first time, a Dramatic Course in the curriculum of the Humboldt High School. Interest in dramatics, early in the fall, led to the organization of a Dramatic Club. lforty students enrolled to receive the benefit of coaching and training' under Miss Sylvia Lewis. During the second semester the club continue-d its Work as a regular class in Dramatics. Several plays were coached by Miss Lewis, and produced in the high school auditorium, These ,save the students actual stage experience in make-up, COSlUl.1lI1lI1g, acting techinque, and poise. A public presentation of, Patty Makes Things Hum, a three-act comedy, was given in the high school auditorium to an appreciative audience. In a preliminary contest the following students were chosen to represent Hum- boldt in the County Declainatory contest: Robert Gingerich, oratoricalg Clarence Harshbarger, humorousg Beulah King, dramaticg John Cooper, exteinporaneous.

Debating Team Debate is an art, which, through the ages, has been considered the chief means of advancement for those who are engaged in the professions of law and politicsg but to assume on this account that it may be studied with profit only by lawyers and politicians is greatly to underestimate its value for the ordinary layman. Debate is an art that developes skill in the process of influencing oth- ers to accept or reject belief. The study of debate is valuableg because it trains men to think accurately and quicklyg because it developes in them the qualities of assurance and self-relianceg because it helps them to Win their daily breadg and because it enables them to rise to positions of lead- ership among their fellow-men. The season's record to date is as follows: Humboldt lost to Holniesville 3 to 0. Humboldt won from Sterling 3 to 0. Humboldt won from Peru 3 to 0. Humboldt lost to Beatrice 2 to 1. Humboldt lost to Wymore 2 to 1. We have received the votes of nine judges and lost the votes of six. Gerald, Rudolph and Frank have done most of the debating. Frank Jenkins debated in Gerald's place against Holmesville. Otto Kotouc de- bated in Rudolph's place against Sterling. Superintendent D. H. Weber has had charge of the work. Page Fifty-Six
