Debatinq The question for high school debate this year is: “Resolved: That Congress Should Prohibit Strikes on Railroads Doing Interstate Business.” The members of the A. H. S. debating team are Ruth Stanton, William Coutant and Edward Morrow, with Stanley Wright as alternate. We are very fortunate in having Miss Kieth as coach. It is rather soon to tell anything the team has done. Our only debate so far has been with Sidney, in which we won. The next debate will be with Scottsbluff to decide the district championship. Should we win this our next opponents will be the champions of some other district. There are ten debating districts in Nebraska. By a series of interstate district debates all but two teams will be eliminated. These two teams will debate at Lincoln on High School Fete Day for the state championship. Alliance has won the district championship for three consecutive years and we will do our best to make it four.

The preliminary contest was given February 2, at the High School and the following were selected to appear at the Imperial a few days later: Robert Lawrence and Edward Morrow in the Oratorical; Evangeline Acheson, Ruth Stanton and Madelaine Zediker in the Dramatic; Elsie Harris, Ruth Scott and Asenath Schill in the Humorous. After this contest Mrs. LaMon took over the instruction work and got Madelaine and Asenath ready for the district contest, which was held at Sidney. Robert received outside help. We were well represented in all three classes at the district contest and secured a “first” in Dramatic. A Boy’s Essay on Breath. Breath is made of air. We breathe with our lungs, our lights, our liver and kidneys. If it wasn’t for our breath we would die when we are asleep. Boys that stay in a room all day should not breathe. They should wait until they get out of doors. Boys in a room make bad, unwholesome air. They make carbonicide. Carbonicide is poisoner than mad dogs. A heap of soldiers was in a black hole in India, and a carbonicide got in that there hole and nearly killed every one afore morning. Girls kill the breath with corsets that squeeze the diagram. Girls can’t holler or run like boys because their diagram is squeezed too much. If I was a girl, I had rather be a boy, so I can holler, run, and row, and have a great big diagram. If the old quotation “what you don’t know won’t hurt you” is true, then the Sophomores are safe from all harm. Miss W.—“Columbus discovered America 1492 A. D. What does A.
