School (Qrbattng @quat ROM the misfortunes of the year before, the Auburn High School rallied loyally to the cause of debating. Early in the y 'ar a good earnest group began working on the subject of the State debate, ‘Resolved, that the movement of organized labor for (he support of the closed shop should not receive the support of public opinion.” Early in January a group of ten participated in the preliminary. Of these Wiley Langford, Hazel Sutton, Helen Lorance and Ralph Smith were selected to represent our High School. They nave worked hard and faithfully. They gave the best they had to their school. On March 1 we met and defeated Nebraska City on the negative by a broken decision. We then matched ourselves with Falls City and in this debate we lost in a broken decision. Two of our debaters were entirely new in the work. Both, however, took great interest in it and accomplished a great deal. All have been exceedingly agreeable to work with, and the memories of this labor and of the two contests will always remain fresh in our minds.
