16 Tier CRVCIBLE JOHN SOVTHARD, Captain John proved his ability as a debater by attain- ing the honor of captaincy in his second year. In thinking through arguments and finding in- roads into the points of an opponent, John is certainly a wonder. And when john dtbates- he debates-nothing else matters, and his ser- iousness in this matter has been of great heneht. John still has another year before him, and we hope he will continue to prove his ability along this line. VVESLEY ROEHM You've all heard NVesley yell at basketball games where he acted as cheerleader,-but have you heard him TALK in a debate? VVesley, the smallest member of the two teams startled oppon- ents and audience alike when he started his argument. VVould one think that a boy so small could have such a voice, and such a convincing manner and argument. Here's to future success, VVesley. FRANCES CCTTING VVhat a pity that Frances, as a debater, was not known until her senior year. Frances lays her cards on the table, faces her opponents squarely and-debates. She just loves to argue. For proof of this just ask any of her teachers. But besides this, her ability to laugh and cheer up her colleagues, when they were unusually blue-over anything in general-certainly was a valuable asset to this year's teams. FRANCES JOHNSON, Captain Some college is going to gain a good debater and Berea High will lose a good one, for this was Frances' last year in High School and she has been a splendid debater for three years. This last year she was made captain of her team and did credit to her position. As this was her third year she received a gold medal. By means of a large vocabulary and quick and keen think- ing she could present influential arguments with ease. LAVVRENCE DANIELS VVe ask you to show us any debater in the whole county who was any more familiar with the subject of discussion than Lawrence. Law- rence fairly eats details and technicalities in a case-it is said that he knew the whole League of Nations Covenant hy heart,--and if this con- tinues, we can foresee a future for Lawrence as a constitutional lawyer. MIRIAM HOCH That little girl with the dark eyes and the demure look-you would hardly believe her to be a hery debater would you? But believe it or not, Miriam was one of the most convincing arguers on the teams this year. She wasn't always serious-but when it was imperative that she be serious, she was, and that, of course was all that was necessary. Miriam still has two years in which to debate--and if she continues the way she has started they ought to be fortu- nate years for the teams that she will be on.

'Til-Ili CR1'c11a1.E 15 :- ,rd Orato ry LYDIA ROEHM, Orator Berea High was very much honored this year when Miss Lydia Roehm won first place in the Cuyahoga County Oratorical Contest. Three years ago and two years ago we won third place, but last year Lydia won second for us. And finally, this year after careful preparation, and with her splendid ability and pleasing per- sonality, she reached the pinnacle of success by attaining first place. Every member of Berea High School is justly proud of our representative and of the record she has made for their high school. ORCHESTRA Standing-Jamcs Barclay, Edward Hausser, Harold Crawford, Clyde Barchard. Sitting-Harold Blackburn, Douglass Stroud, Miss Fish CDirectorj, Elizabeth Gilchrist fPianistJ, Wesley Roehm, Myron Mayles. VVithout an orchestra, what would Berea High do? This organization is of great importance in our school. The orchestra was a guest at the Reserve Tournament and have had other occasions to prove their ability. Although only two girls in the orchestra, they were able to do their part with the music selections.
