The national proposition for the 1938-39 debate season was Resolved: That the United States should establish an alliance with Great Britain. Members of the teams were: Affirmative-lVliL dred Breimyer and Tom Stephenson, Negative-Mar- tha Stephenson and Robert Williams. Others work- ing with the group were Bessie Brown, Carita Lacey. and Ewald Bash. Several members of the squad and their coach, Mr. Dale Smith, attended the annual debate confer- ence at Purdue, where they heard a debate between Purdue and Ohio State and a discussion by the Uni- versity of Chicago's Round Table. The Portland teams participated in an invitational tournament at Anderson, and later the Portland neg- ative team defeated Fort Recovery's affirmative team in a debate held here. Because of Mr. Smith's resignation all debates for the second semester were cancelledg however, the members of the teams feel that they have profited greatly from the study of the question. The most outstanding achievement of the Voca- tional Agriculture Club during the year was the mak- ing of a noon recreation room, equipped with tables and games. They also furnished a ball and bat for noon recreational use. With the cooperation of others they were able to set out plantings at the fairground, sow grass on the football field, and plant on the high school lawn an evergreen tree presented by the W. C. T. U. The Vo-Ag department has enlarged its services to the community by cooperating with the State and Federal Boards of Education in offering a night school for adults and a part-time school for out-of-school boys. Important annual events were the Get-Acquainted Picnic for rural freshman boys, the Father and Son Banquet, the Vo-Ag-Hi-Y Sportsmanship basketball game, the Corn Husking Contest and the trip to the International Livestock Show at Chicago. 128-
