THE REFLECTOR 13 DEBATING Debating was first inaugurated in Caribou High School in 1927. when the debating club which was formed joined the Bates Debating League of Secondary Schools. The club met every other week and studied the fundamentals of debating, The original members of this club were: Peter Sweetser, Philip Kierstead, Malcolm Knox, Sheldon Boone, Lewis Sirois, and Lewis Cook. From these members two teams were chosen to debate on the question selected by the Bates League. Mr. Charles Guptill of Bates College was sent to prepare the boys for the forthcoming triangular debate between Caribou, Presque Isle and Ft. Fairfield. The negative teams of all three schools won, thus elimin- ating all three towns from the final contest at Lewiston. Following this debate a number of juniors joined the club, and the following officers were elected: Clayton Robertson, president, Louise Cox, vice president? and Philip Bouchard, secretary. When the club met in the fall of '27 work was begun at once under the tutelage of Mr. Knight, sub-master, and Miss Rideout, dra- matics teacher. The question chosen by the league to debate on was: Resolved, That the United States Should Cancel All Loans Made to the Allied Countries Previous to the Armistice. Material was obtain- ed and the work was begun in earnest. The boys chosen to speak were: Winthrop C. Libby and Clayton M. Robertson, affirmativeg W. Dale Currier and L. Philip Bouchard, negative. The affirmative was aided by Clayton Hardison and the negative by Nora Raymond, with Louise Cox as chairman. Caribou negative team went to Fort Fair- field and Presque Isle's negative came to Caribou. Both of Caribou's teams lost. However, they resumed work with renewed vigor, and a number of underclassmen joined the club. The following officers were elected for '28-'29: Maynard Lom- bard, presidentg Vernon Johnston, vice-president, Alice Brown, secre- tary. All the underclassmen who can, ought to turn out for debating. One of the chief faults of the club, so far, is that only seniors belong. Therefore, when the seniors graduate the club has to be rebuilt the next year. The boys and girls who enter are unacquainted with the fundamentals of debating and are neither ready nor able to start work on the final debate. Debzting is surely a worthwhile study for it teaches one the art of self expression, and gives one the opportunity to study important public questions.
