HUGO ABBOTT RAY FOX Debating Team Until the term of ’20-’21, the debating society of A. H. S. was sadly neglected so neglected, in fact, that it dropped out of existence entirely several years ago, and has since, until 1921, been the missing link of Arvada’s activities. But as soon as the English teacher, Miss Conboy, came, vague rumors of a real debating team spread through the school. A little later the Corresponding Secretary of our team, Kenneth Vetting, received a letter from the head of the Debating League of Colorado, stating that the question adopted by the League was: “Resolved, that there should be a National Board of Arbitration with compulsory powers for settling industrial disputes of national significance.” By the time the winter exams, were over, the society was well under way, and at almost any hour between dawn and dark one might see some industrious person wading bravely through volume after volume of learned dissertations on Arbitration, Labor Problems, Capital Problems, and problems ad infinitum. The Secretary received a challenge to debate some time in February. The challenge was accepted Arvada taking the affirmative, and Ruth Foster, a Junior, Raymond Fox and Hugo Abbott, Seniors, were selected for the combat. On the evening of March 19 the debate took place in the High School Auditorium. Our speakers, even though the sport was new to them, spoke remarkably well, offering arguments that almost caught the opposing team off their guard; but in the end Idaho Springs won out, rather because of more practise than on account of any superiority. We have put a tack in the wall of the English room, upon which we expect to hang the laurels won by the Debating Team of A. H. S. next year. Pa t Thir y
