Each year it is the custom to give a banquet for the graduating athletes, and if possible, to present the athletic association with some much needed article, such as the warm-ups given to them, in 1935.

l DEBATE J J Left to Right: Dale Coppock, Dorothy Newland, Gaar Potter, Hisako Kubo, Carroll Wilson, Mildred Fuller, Mr. John Ruple Coach, Pauline Gobin, Georgina Sims, Harry Braden, Vina Merrineld, and Alfred Wunder. FIRST TEAMS Affirmative: Alternate: Hisako Kubo Negative: Gaar Potter Harry Braden Carroll Wilson Mildred Fuller Coach, John W. Rupple Question Debated: Resolved, that the several states should enact legislation providing for a complete system of medical care available to ,all citizens at public expense. Although the above teams had not participated in debate before 1936, they proved themselves to be very capable debaters. In two no-decision bouts with La Junta they were considered the better teams. At a tournament held in Pueblo, March 14, they placed third with a ranking of .500. Centennial won this tournament with a ranking of .684. La Junta was not represented. Purpose of Debate: Leisure time was we-ll spent in discussing current issues and the training of leaders. Extemporaneous 'speaking was emphasized. The debaters were thereby trained to think on their feet while standing before a group of listeners. A mutual understanding and friendship were developed between members of this team and teams from other schools that will undoubtedly prove lasting and worth while. Page Eighty
