Robert Alley, Peshine Tomer, and June Peabody represented the Affirmative side of the question, While Janice Newell, Marilyn Proc- tor and Christine Dickinson repre- sented the Negative side. On February 29, Yarmouth Jun- ior High School came to Booth- bay Harbor and defeated us in a de- bate. Boothbay Harbor represented the Negative Side and Yarmouth represented the Aflirmative side. We have had a good time in the Debating Club this year, and Mr. McDonough has proven to be a valuable coach. JANFCE NXEWELL. '52
