At the local preliminary debate a team consisting of Oral Harvey, Homer Barnes, Corrine Mollring, and Donna LaHoda, alternate, was chosen. This team was given the affirmative side of the question, “Resolved, that the Monroe Doctrine Should Be Abandoned, in the District debate against Sidney and Bridgeport. The team worked exceptionally hard this year and succeeded in winning both district contests. This entitled us to one representative at the State debate. Oral Harvey won this honor by being selected as the one to represent the High School in the State debate. We are all proud of Oral and are sure his success will continue. HIGH SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENTS. In additon to the usual run of contests and activities, we have this year, held a number of other entertainments for various reasons, but with the prime object of causing the students to more thoroughly appreciate school life and school activities. Chief among these is probably the all H. S. party held on Hallow’een, to w’hich all students and teachers of the H. S. were invited. All kinds of games were played and a general good time had. The next event of importance was the Sweater night at the Imperial, which, through the kindness of Mr. DuBuque, furnished us w’ith nearly enough money to provide sweaters for the football boys. A county fair, consisting of various stunts and a Minstrel show, both of which were held under the auspices of the Stock-Judging class, proved good drawing cards for the H. S. and created a friendly feeling therein. It is to be hoped that next year more of these fellowship good times may be held. 28
