27 SENIOR N U M HER F o o r A GRAND SUCCESS HE FOOTBALL season this year is the best one A. It. S. ever had. We only tied in the county championship with the North End contenders. In the first Maine played with Harbor they were humbled, 2f to 0. This left the two teams lied for the county flag1, because earlier in the season A. II. S. dropped a game to Geneva. Then came the deciding game. Harbor scored first in the second quarter and failed goal. Ashtabula’s touchdown came in the third quarter when Bixler pulled one of the “brainiest” plays for which he was noted all season. On this play he crossed the goal and McDonald failed goal. The score remained the same all the rest of the game and the championship is jointly held by the two schools. OUR RECORD Alumni . 3( A. II. S 0 G. R. I . 0 A. H. S 71 (■ II S 0 Jefferson . 3 A. H.

26 S E NIOR NUMBER ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ ■■■■■■■BBHHi The Deb AST year the Northeastern Ohio Debating League was organized, consisting of South High School of Youngstown, Warren and Ashtabula High Schools, Youngstown wasuliabletodehate last year so Murray Cook, Carl Hobishaw, Harry Arvidson and Clifton Sanborn, as our negative team, went to Warren, while James Savage, Ralph Newton, Margaret Baser and Trcva Hobishaw met Warren’s negative team at Ashtabula. Our teams won both debates on the subject, Hesolved: That the Monroe Doctrine Should be Repudiated,” our home team getting a unanimous decision, while our negative team defeated their opponents by a vote of two to one. In the annual Junior-Senior debate held on December 17. 1011, the Juniors, Clifton Sanborn and Jane Dickenson, defeated the Senior team, Murray Cook and Carl Hobishaw, two to one with the negative side of the question, Resolved: That the United States Should Materially Increase Her Army and Navy.” In the second meeting of the Northeastern Debating League, the three schools divided honors, each school winning one debate. The debates were held a re Team on April 23, 1015, the question being, Hesolved: That the (iovermnent of the United States Should Own and Operate All Telegraph and Telephone Lines.” This question seemed appropriate, as it has attracted a great deal of attention in Congress, while this plan has been advocated by several postmaster generals. All three debates were hotly contested throughout. Warren being the only school to get a unanimous decision. At present Ashtabula stands first, having won three of the four debates, Warren losing three of the four and Youngstown having won one and lost one. The team which went to Youngstown this year, Murray Cook, Clifton Sanborn, Martha Stone, with Flora Munson as alternate, lost a hard fought debate with the negative side of the question, the judges deciding in favor of South High by a vote of two to one, while our affirmative team, composed of Carl Hobishaw, Jane Dickenson. Henry Smith, with Hull) Harrington as alternate, won at home by the same score. The six debaters will receive gold medals for their work. Three of the debaters graduate this year, leaving Jane Dickenson, Clifton Sanborn and Martha Stone to uphold Ashtabula in the debate next year.

Basket Ball C DIvNTS of Ashtabula 11 igh School should feci proud of Coach Collins and his learn. Mr. Collins look a green squad, and although handicapped by having only a few hours practice each week, turned out one of the best winning combinations seen in Ashtabula High School for years. Before his arrival as athletic coach in our school a basket ball team representing . II. S. was considered a joke. Now our team stands in the first division in the County League. The team this year, with the exception of Sweet, was entirely new. By hard work and fast playing, the boys got away with the lion’s share of their games. Nine straight victories is a record any team can be proud of. Sweet was the only veteran on the team. Captain Smith. J. Stewart. Ford. Aunger. W. Stewart and Bice have played on the Y. M. C. A. leader team. Bixler played a little two years ago. The boys are to he congratulated on the way they played together and worked with the coach. The letter men are Captain Smith. Sweet, Ford, .1. Stewart, Bixler and Bice. The second team deserves much credit. The boys were out to practice every night and played hard during the scrimmages. A good second team is essential to the success of the first team. Six games were played by the scrubs. They won two from .letl'erson. one from Geneva, and lost two to Austin burg. THE SQUAI) Name.
