Debate Squad Standing—Don Pelkey, Howard Kriz. Seated—Margaret Wehling, I. N. Boggs, Mr. Waterman, Jack Eacker, Elise Moseley. This year marks the revival of debate activities in Broken Bow. The debate squad was chosen from the first semester debate class of seventeen students. The above speakers presented the question Resolved, that all electric utilities should be governmentally owned and operated on Speech Night, February 8th. Elise Moseley, Margaret Wehling, Howard Kriz, and Don Pelkey participated in Hastings College Invitation Tournament February 11th and 12th, debating against Grand Island, Holdrege, Geneva, and Wayne. Although the squad recorded only one win in competition with experienced teams, the members were encouraged to continue with debate activities. After class, Mr. Waterman explained to me the functions of the Dramatic Club: The Dramatic Club is an honorary organization of high school students who prove themselves worthy of membership by active participation in activities of the dramatic department. In October the club sponsored the production of a three-act farce Safety First. Other activities have included a choral speaking group, one-act radio plays, and the sponsoring of the annual declamatory contest in March. The club will close its activities with a spring party. The Freshmen seemed to be the outstanding class, as everyone was picking on them. It seems to be a custom—an initiation of some kind—for the newcomers to the high school. I happened to be along when Mr. Sterner took their pictures. A very alert bunch of students. They ought to be going places when they are Seniors.
