r. AIISN 'dbh - Words And Rebuttal N the night of the big debate, when a debater delivers an interesting speech in just the right tone of voice with the most suitable gestures and intonations, you may be sure that his perfection is not due to mere chance. There is no such thing as a born debatern-no matter how good one is, he must go through extensive prepara- tion before he faces arraudience. lf you don't believe this, consider what our high school debaters must do. Long before the rest of the school knows that there is to be a debate, a meeting of the club is called in which the members are informed of the question, given bibliog- raphies of references and told to fall to.'l Then each individual must determine which side of the question he Wishes to uphold, look up all material on the subject, and Write his speech. Un an appointed day the sponsor listens to some thirty speeches delivered by eager appli- cants in voices ranging from the trembling falsetto of the timid freshman to the sonorous baritone of the cock- sure upper-classman and selects an affirmative and nega- tive team. Then the real work begins! The preliminary speech is discarded and a new one begun. After a fevv more weeks of exhaustive research, this is completed, and our young debater begins the serious business of memorizing it, usually succeeding in driving his Whole family crazy in his attempt. All of this happens before the debate when, of course, he must be on his toes every minute listening to his oppo- nents so that he -may break down their speeches in his rebuttal. The first ollicial debate of the season was with Hazle- ton on the subject, f'Resolvedt That the United States Should Adopt a System of Socialized bledicinef' Prior to this an informal practice-debate on the same subject was staged with the Forty Fort teams. - 774. ,JICQNF fa?-JI...

WI' - --- 7 im Thy Name Is Honor MMEDIATELY after the first report cards came out, a rumor spread about that the Honor Society would be Hswampedi' by the number of seniors eligible for en- trance. lilany seniors were disappointed when they dis- covered that only fifteen out of such a brilliant class as ours would be pledged. After the midyears one night a group of senior members met and helped our faithful adviser average the marks of the juniors. We found that only a few could be pledged since the society was already large. Therefore, only those above 90.5W9 were pledged. Un lliarch 7, the initiation party was held, in honor of the newest members, in the clubrooms of Y. ll. C. A. Some highlights of the evening vvere: Bill Paxsonis first dance! Eating so late that there was no time left to initiate the new members for which we were very sorry, because here had been many baneful mixtures prepared just for that event! And last, but not least, Bliss Jones' teaching the athletes, who weren't swimming, how to play ping-pong! lt Was also amusing to see hir. Everett, the photographer, squirming in all sorts of queer posi- tions in his efforts to secure good action-shots for the Yearbook! lt has been and is the annual custom of the Honor Society to have an all-day party at the end of the year. The party is always held at Skytop Country Club. Wliile at Skytop, society members have complete privileges on tennis courts, in the swimming pool, and on the whole of this scenic ground. fffiil v ' .. - 'IGN I19l
