Debate Debating, as far as Sheridan High is concerned, hit a new low this year. The year started out very well with the question “Resolved: That every able-bodied male citizen in the United States should be required to have one year’s full-time military training before attaining the present draft age.” Before there was a chance to any more than a little practice debating on this question, the war came, making the question impractical to debate. In addition, the tire situation made debate trips practically impossible. Consequently, Sheridan attended no debate tournaments. The class concentrated on prepared speeches, extemporaneous speeches, and some debating on other questions. The students taking a straight debate course were: Lionel Gross, Charley Emmons, Richard Gruber, Robert Young, Sally Anne Fair, Janet Haywood, and Jean Glotfelty. Students enrolled in the Debate-Civics course are: Ruth Braun, Erma Mae Cory, Charles Crum, Bob Elstrom, Jack Gage, Dale Partridge, Neal Richardson, Cynthia Rudolf, Edmund Skar, George Stutsman, Delbert Wallengren, and Iris Eads. AMBITION Oh, you will be a doctor At the bedside of the sick; And you will be a teacher With a frown that’s stern and strict; And you will drive the subways And work beneath the ground; But I will be a vagabond, And roam the world around. Oh, you will live by daily bread, And you will strive for earning, And never list to whispering winds That set your heart to burning; But I will follow Fortune’s call, The lure of land and sea, And beauty and adventure Shall be bread and wine for me. Oh, you will go a-fishing For the mai’tin of the sea, And you will search the waters Where the pike are said to be, And you will cast for brook trout In an icy mountain stream. But I will go a-fishing In the sunset for a dream. —Marcia McWilliams. Thirty
