? 31 YEAR BOOK Page Twenty-five The Debating Society The Debating Society was formed in November mainly for the purpose of entering a team in the Calgary Debating League contests. Up till March the Society concentrated on this object con¬ fining its activities to choosing and giving practice to teams for these contests. The speakers chosen were Mat ion Robb, Mark McClung, Maurice Western and Harry Tobin. In the preliminary round the Normal School was opposed to The Board of Trade. Miss Robb and Mr. Western won a brilliant victory in the home debate, taking the affirmative of the subject, “Resolved that Great Britain is justified in buying dumped Soviet products.” Messrs. McClung and Tobin did like¬ wise in the second match, having the negative of the subject “Re¬ solved that compulsory military training in the Public Schools or Colleges of Canada is desirable.” The Spokes Club defeated Miss Robb and Mr. McClung in the semi-final by one of the narrowest margins on record. The subject was, “Resolved that the farmers of Western Canada should adopt a compulsory pool as their method of marketing wheat,” the Normal team supporting the resolution. This debate took place on March 6th, at the Normal School, and although our speakers lost the verdict, the debate was a personal triumph for both of them. The Society now arranged a program for the rest of the year. A series of class debates was decided upon. A lively interest in this programme was shown and nine classes entered teams. So far only one of the debates has taken place. In it IIG defeated IIA on the subject, “Resolved that Chinese and Japanese immigrants should be excluded from the Dominion.” The girls took the negative. If the coming debates should be as well at¬ tended as this one, then the Debating Society will claim the posi¬ tion of being the most successful society in the school this year. The meetings took place on Fridays at 4:15 in room 314, the officers being: President, Mr. R. Turner; vice-president, Mr. M. Western; secretary, Miss A. Litchfield; business manager, Mr. W. Harper. Mr. M. Davidson was vice-president for the first term but was unable owing to other activities to continue in that position during the second term.
