THE 1931 SPHINX The Debate Club C This year the Rutgers Interscholastic Debating League was disbanded, so a new league has been organized. Roselle has joined the group consisting of Cranford, Roselle Park and Scotch Plains. The winner of this group meets the winner of the other group of Union County schools to determine the champion of the league. The question decided on for debate was, Resolved: That chain stores aredetrimental to the best interests of the American people. On March 6th, at Roselle, the varsity team consisting of Saul Buc, Carolyn Chance, Winifred Masterson and Helen Desmarais, defeated Scotch Plains in their first league debate by a 3-O vote. The next league debate with Roselle Park was won by the same team by a 2-1 vote on March 23rd, at Roselle. On Monday, March 30th, the team went to Cranford for its last league debate to determine the champion of our half of the league. Roselle lost this debate in a very close contest by a 2-1 vote. Other debates also were scheduled with teams which are not in the league to give more experience to the members of the squad. This year the team has been fortunate in having the services of Miss Sterling, who has been of great assistance to Mr. Peeling in coaching the teams. .75

THE 1931 SPHINX The Rifle Club For many days the onslaught of our rillemen reverberated in the nether regions of our school. Mr. Hoopes arranged a match with the Summit hillsmen, who are not unhandy with the rifle. Our rillemen hied them to the hill country and shot them a goodly shoot with the Summit mountaineers. But the Summit mountaineers proved to be only pioneers at the game, for when the smoke had cleared away, the score was: Roselle, 786, Summit, 502. Then we posted the result in an obscure corner of the bulletin board and resumed bombardment in the nether regions. Word came that to the 'East there dwelt a band of marksmen even more formidable than the first victims. Our men hied themselves to the city and met the Jelfersonians. Again our smooth accuracy carried the day. The score was: Roselle, 462, Thomas Jefferson, 430. A return match was shot, with dear old T. only a shadow of his former self, Roselle, 452, T. J., 403. The annual Booth Cup Match was held this year again. Russell Dulfs winning the cup this year makes it his permanently, as he won it once before. Of a possible 1500, Duff scored 1274, C. Stockberger was the closest competitor, having a score of 1261. , 77
