-WK? torium. That evening the Negative team journeyed to Bluffton for their debut in de- bating. The neg'atives also Won a unanimous decision and so the first round of debating ended with Central holding the lead with two unanimous decisions and Leo. a close second, with two victories. The second round in this series of debates was held on December 19. The affirmative team debated South-Side at South-Side and won by a two to one decision. This debate was very interesting but the most heated de- bate of the series was the one between our negative team and Leo. The Leo team had defeated South-Side the week before and the championship of the league really depended on the outcome of this debate. Just at this time the negative team re- ceived a. severe jolt in the illness of Leonard Scheele. He was unable to be in the Leo de- bate and John Shoaff. a Senior, substituted for him. Although with no previous experi- ence, John worked, admirably with the team and helped them to win this debate by a tWo to one decision. By virtue of winning this debate Central became the champion of this league. This was the first year that a Fort lVayne High School won this honor and to the debaters and to Miss Cromer. the coach. a great deal of praise is due. Much credit should be given to the busi- ness manager. Sol Schwartz. and Martin Schick who took entire charge of the busi- ness end of the debates. At the end of the season the following students received debating pins in place of the customary letters: Ruth Hunt. Marga- ret Ehrman, Traverse Chandler, Donald Close. Leonard Scheele, Leah Peters. David Heaton, Paul Stier. John Shoaff and Ruth Knatz and Perry Thomas. members of the 1923-2-1 debating teams. . lCUV1ll'?lltt'd from Page 45,3 Robert Macbeth was chosen president. Char- lotte Stier vice-president. and John XYhite secretary. Laura Tenney. Clayton Merillat. and Harlan Robinson composed the social council. Miss Schwehn and Mr. Bills were chosen the faculty advisors. A few weeks later a hard-times party was planned. The other classes offered very much pessimistic advice, declaring that no hard-times party had ever been successful. But. with the same spirit which they had dis- played on previous occasions. the sopho- mores staged their party. and. to the sur- prise of many. it proved not only a social but also a financial success. Not. content with this. the '27's decided to publish a Sophomore issue of the Spotlight. Nell Gunn was again chosen editor-in-chief. and a few weeks later a complete issue was published. entirely without the assistance of the regular staff. This issue was pronounced one of the best of the year. and the sopho- mores may be justly proud of it. Plans were also made by the class for a candy sale, which, when accomplished a few days later. proved quite a Enancial success. Ill addition to these undertakings. the sophomores have boosted every affair staged by any other class or club. lVe predict a bright future for them. and in their two re- maining years we are expecting great things from them. lfonlinimz' from Page .mi ln December the Juniors again showed their ability for doing great things by giving a dance for the entire school. The gym was artistically decorated in the class colors of blue and gold. During the evening refresh- ments were served and each guest was given a favor. The orchestra added much to the success of the party. However. the star in their crown of glory was tl1e Junior Prom. This was given May 1 at the Little Arts Theatre. Spiegel 's Melody Men furnished the music. The prom surely was a great success and everyone who at- tended it will agree. The class of '26 has had such a iine start that we are expecting many things from them in their Senior year. YAYAYLIIA BUILDING FORT WAYNE ZQUKA1- Q ss

Q ,. ,,,.,,,,c J 1 Student Plaqers Club The Senior class of Ventral high school presented the play, To the Ladies , on April 6 and 7 to large audiences at the Strand Theatre. lt was a comedy written by George S. Kaufman and Marc Uonnelly. Miss Suter, under whose direction the play was produced. did not overlook any detail in making thc play a success, the enunciation of the entire cast was remarkable for an am- ateur play and the settings and costumes were faultless. The careful work in pantomime given in class work had developed u11usual material, and the idea. of demanding since1'ity in the acting made this year's play a truly delight- ful one. Did you note Anne Weaver, as Mrs. Beebe, reading over Mr. Beebe's shoulder that disappointing notice about the tire? Anne was really reading. That kind of ex- pression on the face of amateurs is not usu- ally seen. Even professionals fail often to accomplish it. That touch was only one of dozens of such moments that made this play a satisfying' performance. One astonishing feature of To the La- dies was the number of players, more than in the Charm School , more even than in the New York production of the play. Twenty-two banqueters dined at the John Kincaid dinner, and there was besides a haughty waiter, known to us as John Shoaff. John's haughty waiting did not prevent Mr. Henrici, the toastmaster tDonald Closet from being firm on the matter of clearing the table during the speeches. Mr. Henrici him- self was tlourishingly urbane. imbued with the seriousness of a John Kincaid banquet. deferential to the great piano manufacturer and altogether impressive as a presiding otfi- cer. After all. public speaking in C'entral's real life is not had preparation for toast- mastei-ing on the stage. Another of Cen- tral's public speakers, Traverse Chandler. the politician Mr. Cassidy. who had arrived from VVashington to attend the dinner. pledged the Democratic party in truly ro- tund oratory to the support of the piano as the stabilizer of the home.
