THE CENTENNIAL DEBATE. After defeating Conrad in the second round of the debate league, the local team prepared to meet the old rivals from Augusta. On Friday, April 10th, Dorothy Morefield, Reynold Larson and Thorald Cowger, accompanied by their coach, Mrs. M. P. Moe, journeyed to Augusta to clash with their team. The question to be debated was, “Resolved, that the United States should join the Permanent Court of International Justice with the Harding reservations.” The Augusta debaters were Beatrice Stratton, Raymond Gray and Ruth Ogden. Mrs. E. A. Little is the Augusta coach. Big Sandy upheld the affirmative of the question while Augusta argued for the nega- tive. The judges were Mr. T. A. Walker, of Intermountain Union College, Superintendent J. E. Young of Stockett-Sand Coulee, and Supt. W. Kirseh- bergen of Shelby, who gave the decision to the Big Sandy team. The Augusta team showed that they had worked hard to win but their 1925 DEBATING TEAM argument and presentation could not cope with the local debaters. This is the third time that Big Sandy has met Augusta in debate. Four years ago when Big Sandy first started debating they met Augusta in the second round and lost. The second year we were placed in the Northwestern dis- trict and lost in the finals to Scobey. Last year we met Augusta in the finals in the district and won. After defeating Augusta we defeated Saco for the Inter-district and met Billings in the finals at Missoula for state honors. This year by defeating Augusta we have again won the district championship. On May 2nd we met Whitefish, champions of the Northwestern District, to decide the Inter-district championship and received the unanimous de- cision of the judges who were, Supt. J. W. Lenning of Fort Benton, Supt. L. R. Sherwood of Havre and W. J. Abbott of Harlem. This gave us the light to represent the Northwestern and North Central districts in the finals at Missoula. As the State Debating League allows only two to compete in the finals Dorothy Morefield and Reynold Larson were selected to represent the school there. On May 11th the team accompanied by Mrs. M. P. Moe, their coach, left for Missoula where they met Butte in the finals, but failed to win state honors. This is the second year that Big Sandy has won the inter-district and debated at Missoula as one of the four best teams in the state. This is quite a credit to the Big Sandy High School, the members of the team and coach.
