Debating Tournament On Saturday September 27 and Sunday, September 28, Appleby played host to its Seventh Annual Inter-School Co-ordinate Debating Tournament. We were most fortunate to have the girls from St. Mildred ' s as our co- hostesses. Once again, the tournament resulted in an unqualified success. The tournament involved fifty-two debaters from twenty-six schools ranging from as far afield as Montreal and Sudbury. The debaters embroiled themsleves on the Saturday in arguing both sides of the prepared resolution: That the Canadian Government should impose, immediately , a five year moratorium on all im- migration. The arguments presented varied in scope from ethnic humour to in-depth analysis of socio- economic characteristics, but in all, it was a popular theme. An impromptu resolution was also debated between the two prepared rounds. We are particularly proud of our tournament for several reasons. We use the co-ordinate cross- examination format which was originally invented here seven years ago, but which is now used all over the country. The tour- nament gives the kitchen staff an opportunity to show their very best work in providing an ex- cellent dinner which has become a traditional fixture at these debates. There are many benefits ' to be derived from events of this jiature, but one of the most im- portant is the general at- mosphere of the place; people not only are able to wade into deep and stimulating debates, but it leaves the first-rate debaters with a sense of achievement, comfort and pride, without a trace of anger or rivalry. The Debating Society held a dance on the Saturday night at which almost everyone had an enjoyable time. In conclusion, it is my privilege to thank all those who helped to put this tournament through; all the dozens who put up with our erratic (and al ways hectic) ef- forts at management, and were able, in spite of us, to serve as timers, hosts, speakers, tabulators, dance decorators and general factotums throughout the frantic weekend. I wish to thank Mr. Humphreys especially who put up with my mistakes and follies, convincing me that I knew what I was doing and then quietly did it himself. Above all, I wish to extend a special thanks to Paul Jackson who put in hundreds of frustrating and boring hours of typing, duplicating, and re- duplicating all the letters, programmes and other parapher- nalia without which we would have been totally lost. Generally, I can only say that this was a major success for the Society and the School and hopefully if some funds can be raised, we can do as well next year. E.R.D. BEST DEBATER OF THE TOUR- NAMENT: James Bursey - Trinit y College School BEST EXTEMPORANEOUS PUBLIC SPEAKER: Bryan Davies - Appleby College
