GIRLS' FALL SPORTS .Xl,l, sports, in which the girls' athletic classes engage, include basketball, soccer, and hockey. llasketball. the first seasonal sport. is the most important, as shown by the commendable turnout. VVith about twenty to twenty- five girls reporting, it was possible for some classes to have a second team. ln the final game, the Freshmen and juniors competed. The lireshmen showed their superiority by a 1-O victory. Soccer, the next fall sport. did not prove to be as popular as it had been in previous years, although all classes were eligible for intramural competition. Again the juniors were competing for championship hon- ors, but this time their opponents were the Seniors. .Nfter a hard fought game ,the juniors came out on top with a score of 1-O. Interest of the high school girls has been rapidly increasing in hockey since it was introduced four years ago. The competition this year was very keen because of the evenly matched teams chosen from the large number of sign-ups. ln the championship play-offs, the Juniors and Seniors were again participating. Class honors again went to the juniors, who challenged the Seniors and won by a 1-O victory.

B CLASS FOOTBALL in a game with Exeter. The second league game was won by Porter- ville by a close score of 8-6. This score was largely due to a mistake made by referees.

Tulare's lightweight team was reputed to be the strongest in the county this year, but Visalia lost to her with a very small margin, the score being 12-7.

DEBATE .lESOl.YliD: that compulsory unemployment insurance should be adopted by the United States, was the question for debate this year. The members of the team worked very hard securing informa- tin from every possible source. Through all this work they were helped and guided by their debating coach, Mr. Lehmann. This year there were eight schools competing in this county. This was divided into two sections, the northern and the southern. The northern league, of which Yisalia was a member, had four schools. The system used was that on a designated day the affirmative team debated at Yisalia and the negative team at the competing school. ln this way two debates were held on the same day. Although inexperienced at first, our debaters through hard work and persistence debated to a place of high standing in this county. Visalia was well represented in the oratorical contest this year. This was a six-minute talk on some phase of the Constitution of the United States. ln the finals for this high school Arthur Primm was victorious. His topic was '6Constitution and Its Enforcement. Lois Dinend, speaking on NVashington and the Constitution, was second. The judg- ing was based on preparation, material, and delivery. Arthur Primm entered the county finals. Although his talk was very good, he was defeated. The experience of participation and competition awakened in each speaker and debater a greater appreciation of forensic art, and developed considerable interest in debating throughout the entire student body.
