A eoinniittee selected the leaders, who chose their assistants. The questions argued were those of the greatest public interest and importance, and so were very interesting and instructive. These debates were continued throughout our Senior year. Last year an inter-class debate between the two upper classes was held before the public. This took place in,the assembly room the night after commencement. lt was greatly enjoyed by all present. The following question was argued 5 Resolved -That Gen. Funston was justified in his method of capturing Aguinaldof' The graduating class represented by Miss Hemingway, Drummond. and Thompson took the affirmative side, while the nega- tive side was argued by Loughborough, Miss Bartlett and Miss Somers. Our class succeeded in winning the honors from the Class of.'O2, renowned for their strength in body and mind. Soon after the midyear examinations, the Seniors arranged a. debate with the Class of '04 This was held at the High School just before the Easter vacation. The question argued was 5 Resolved-That the Monroe Doctrine is inconsistent with the present needs of the United Statesf, The Third Year, represented by Miss Neyhart, Pierce and Synder took the neg- ative side. The Fourth year students were ably represented by Miss Mauro, Miss Al- den and Hanlon. The decision was final- ly rendered in favor of the Third Year. Debating is of the greatest value in a High School course, for it compels the student to lose self-consciousness while be- fore an audience, to frame expressions while on the stage that will meet the ar- guments of his opponents. This ability to command one's thoughts and to express them well in public is of inestimable value both in school-and in the outside wo rl d. Gi-xovic A. S'rAN'roN. JUNIOR RECEPTION. OLSLOWING the example of our es- teemed predecessors, we the Glass of '03, decided to give the Seniors a recep- tion on the evening of June 27, which would surpass anything of the kind ever given here, and also would be a fitting end to the week of Senior festivities. A In preparation for this mighty event, we Juniors toiled laboriously all day, stringing garlands and preforming other arduous duties with which to beautify our beloved Alma Mater. To say that our efforts were rewarded,-feebly expresses the enthusiasm with which we were greeted from the visiting public and the Class of 702. The halls certainly were transform- ed to things of beauty and joys forever, and the lawn was a splendid representa- tion of an old Japanese garden on a night. The beginning of the evening was taken up by the inter-class debate, and with the judge's decision we were more proud of our efforts than can be expressed. After this event the public dispersed and the two upper classes held a reception in the office until dancing began in the low- er hall, to the music of Steven's Orchestra. About midnight refreshments were served in the class rooms, which seemed much more inviting than usual. ' After this feast CU some of us once more began to do homage to Terpsichore, and seine to enjoy the cool breezes of the log- gia. It was far into the 'fwee sma' hoursn when the last good-bye was said, and the Class of '02 was launched into the world as alumni of the Auburn Academic High School. This custom has now become a perma- nent feature of Commencement lVeelc. l long live the .lunior Reception I li X U .i. . 1

H EN in the course of l1u111a11 events it becaine necessary tor tl1e Class of 703 to have its sleigh-ride, it had it. lt was a success as 111ost things done by '03 are. Miss R-ieinann and Mr. Mosher were 111 charge, tl1e iornier to look after tl1e flowers of tl1G class, a.nd the latter to control the bursts of eloquence aniong the boys. The class was well represented, 111- cluding tl1e wise and the unwise, tl1e just and the unjust, tl1e staid and the frisky. All were lusty singers and although not an athletic class, they proved theniselves able to hold on over slippery places a.nd catch up after being tumbled out. Honor roll students forgot their class staiifling and lowered their dignity liave a good tinic. ' r . Supper was served in the spacious din- ing-rooin of tl1e hotel at W eedsport. The menu was such as only lVeedsport can produce. Only tl1e graduating classes a.re perinitted to know what .its inysteries are. After supper soinebody banged tl1e piano while certainvpersons tried to dance the Virginia Reel. Others explored tl1e tow11 ending at the N. Y. C. R. R. station where they 1 had an exciting and laugh- able adventure hunting up History's glasses, without which he could neither chronicle the past nor Aforetell tl1e future. It wa.s a noisy and hilarious set in those crowded sleighs, whicl1 slipped. into Aub- urn in the early inorniiig hours. If '03 was tired it was too proud too own it. 1 c. D.
