The question was, Resolved: That at least one-half of all state and local revenue should be derived from sources other than tangible property. This year the negative team stayed at home, and in a close struggle defeated Walnut Hills by a 2-to-1 decision, the debate taking place in Caleb Mills Hall on Friday evening, April 7. Julian Kiser, cap- tain of the team, and Robert McVie brought to a conclusion two years of successful debating as Tri-State members. William Koehne was the other speaker. The alternate was David Falendar. On the same date as the Walnut Hills contest, the Shortridge aflirm- ative team, with Mr. William A. Evans, of the English department, traveled to Louisville, to lose a very close decision, again by a 2-to-1 mar- gin. Gordon Cohn captained the team, of which Robert Marks and Fred- erick Kershner, speakers, and Gordon Jacobs, alternate, were the other members. Walnut Hills defeated Louisville, resulting in a victory and a loss for each school. Thus Shortridge retained the leadership won by last year's double victory. The standing in terms of debates won is now: Shortridge, five, Walnut Hills, four: and Louisville, three. Only one more leg of the ive-year contract now remains, before the awarding of the cup. The two other five-year series were won by Shortridge. The try-outs for positions on the teams took place shortly after the beginning of Christmas vacation. Eighteen contestants entered the lists, and an unusually hard struggle resulted. The try-out question was the same as that of the Tri-State Debates. Each contestant was allowed to take one side of the question in his set speech, then to refute either the affirmative or the negative speech given by Jane Shideler and Jeane McWorkman, respectively. Gordon Messing was chosen a speaker, but owing to a severe illness, his place was filled by Frederick Kershner. The unusually large attendance at the home debate this year was due in a great measure to the efforts of Henry Fauvre, head of the ticket sales, Herman Ziegner, and Joe Cox, publicity managers, and the assistance and enthusiasm of the teachers in the ticket sales. Although the ability and leadership of Mr. Otto were greatly missed, the teams kept up the highest traditions of the school under the able leadership of Mr. C. C. Shoemaker. Next year's prospects are bright, with two speakers, Marks and Koehne, and the two alternates, Jacobs and Falendar, again eligible. Frederick Kershner.

GIRLS' DEBATES The Shortridge girls' debating teams won two unanimous victories against Bedford High School in a dual debate contest held between Short- ridge and Bedford on April 21. The question used in both debates was Resolved: That the United States should recognize the Soviet government of Russia. The aflirm- ative team, captained by Jeane McWorkman, with Jean Knowlton, Lillian Starost, and Marian Speery, alternate, met the Bedford negative team in Caleb Mills Hall. The Shortridge negative team, composed of Jane Shideler, captain, Mary Ellen Voyles, Eleanor Firth, and Dorothea Craft, alternate, traveled to Bedford, accompanied by Miss Minnie Lloyd, of the Shortridge history department. They met the Bedford aflirmative team and were awarded a unanimous decision by the judges. Both teams were coached by Mr. C. C. Shoemaker, of the Shortridge English department, who has had charge of debating activities at Short- ridge during the absence of Mr. William N- Otto, coach for many years. Try-outs for the teams were held in February. The question used was Resolved: That at least one-half of all state and local revenue should be derived from sources other than tangible property. Try-outs gave con- structive speeches on either side of the question and rebuttals to either an affirmative speech by Gordon Cohn, or a negative speech by Julian Kiser. Judges were Mr. Shoemaker, Miss Lloyd, and Mr. William A. Evans, teacher of debating. Jeane McWorkman.
