Ruth NVilde, Ralph Scott, William Ryan, Grace Foster, and Betty Ann Prentice comprised the 193940 Varsity Debate Team of the East Detroit High School, Other members of the club were: jack Landon and Dale Whitehouse. This year they have been under the guidance of Mr. George A. Moroz. Keys were given Ruth, Ralph, Grace, Betty and William by the Mich' igan Forensic Association. The subject for debate this year was: Ref solved, that the federal government shall own and operate the rail- roads. In the tournament at Rochester, the East Detroit team emerged victorious, winning debates from Pontiac and Linden High School, In February, Ruth Wilde, Ralph Scott, and William Ryan, with Grace Foster and Betty Ann Prentice, broadcast a debate from Radio Station WEXL. This was an interesting discussion of the stu' dent council situation in the high school. Previously, the East Detroit debate squad was chosen to broadcast the debate topic of the year while the schools of the metropolitan Detroit and Macomb County listened. It was proclaimed one of the best high school broadcasts ever heard.
