THE HESPERIAN 7 gif M 19 they lacked the requisite amount of time necessary for the work. But we are now justly proud of -a certain member, one Audrey Tuor bv name, who, in spite of all the practice-teaching, etc., has been industri- ously engaged in the work. She Won in the try-outs very easily. and we wish her, as well as all the other debaters as much success when they clash against other league teams of the state. We have an idea that both our teams will win, but we are rather a trifle afraid to predict a unanimous vote-a two-to-one victory will sufficeeany- way. Miss VVright, another member of the training class, had the pleas- ure of teaching fall by herselfl the fifth grade at the Barclay school. The teacher regularly in charge was absent While taking the teachers' examinations. Have you noticed how much literary material for the Hesperian has come from the members of the Teachers' Training Department? DEBATING Debating has full sway in Oregon City high school at present. Eery one happy? I Y-e-s. Well, why shouldn't we be when we have the winning team of the state. Let me tell you a joke that we have and see if you d,on't smile. VVhy it is simply that fact that our natural born debators, plus the training of Nlr. lVIason, politely walked all over the Canby and Blil- wauke teams. One side of the story is really pitiful. But we are not pessimists. Oregon City won the decision at both places unanimously. Now, what do you think? VVe think we have the state cham- pionship on the homeward stretch. A , A great interest was shown by the students of the high school and also citizens of our city. A large number attended the debate. which was held Friday, January l2, in the high school auditorium. VVe are all glad of the interest shown both by the students and the debaters .for enthusiasm and spirit is nourishment to success. We are all looking forward to the next debate to be held in the near future and a larger crowd than before is expected. Watch for the date of the next appearance of our wonderful debators. A ' Our next clash will be at Oregon City, February 2, 1917, when ourfnegative team will meet the Tillamook team while our affirmative team will uphold the honor of O. C. H. S. at Silverton. Students! You owe it to your high school to support these debat- ing teams in every way possible. With the loyal backing of the stu- dents, we may reasonably hope for two more glorious victories, which will advance us nearer the great goal the state championship.
