oo-- 93 C'45.9gle1oN Lafayette-Central, North Side, and Central made up the Northeastern Ind- iana Debate League for 1935-36 whose champion is chosen on a percentage basis. This fall Central was the N. E. l. C. League champion with a percent of one hundred. There is also a State Debate League. The state is divided into districts, the districts make up sections and the sections compose regions. The regional winner competed at Manchester College to determine the state winners. At the time of this writing. Central High School's debate teams are the sectional winners and are preparing to meet their opponent, Elwood, in the regional contest. To promote interest in declaiming, Mr. John Reising, aCentral mathemat- ics instructor, has for the fifth year. offered cash awards to the f1rst,second, and third place winners in the school contest. Mr. Reising presented to Central this year, a loving cup award for permanent use in recognizing con- test winners in the local contest. The winner of first place had his name engraved on this permanent cup. This award is in addition to tne cash prizes. Because more students enter the contest each year and we thus find competition becomes much keener, and because the public is awakening to the appreciation of good oratory, the Kiwanis Club has inaugurated a city- wide dcclamation contest. The Reising contest serves as a means of selecting Central's outstanding, student in this activity. ln order that this department did not have all ivork and no play, they had at least four annual social affairs with potlucks sprinkled here and there throughout the year. One event was the annual picnic held at Swinney Park early in the fall and at which new speech members were initiated. Another bit of enjoyment was the annual chicken dinner given by the debate coach, Mr. A. A. Coil, to those members of the debate squad who had worked faith- fully throughout the season. It was held at Mr. Coil's country home and it was at this time that the debaters indulged in food and discovered that their sufiiciencies were fanciful. In the spring, on May 14, the speech students and those interested in speech work, held their annual banquet. On December 6 and 7 the debators mingled a little fun with their search for knowledge when thev went to Purdue Uuiversity at Lafayette, Indiana, forthe annual state de- bate conference. ln addition to enjoying various social activities in their hon- or, they heard various authorities on debate. These included a debate on the high school topic, state medicine, between two college teams. This year, through the cooperation of the Honor Society, Booster Club and Dr. Lyman T. Rawles, Central has recognized her varsity debaters by presenting them with Central sweaters. This presentation to Helen Long, Maxine Brand, Max Ochstein, and Paul Schwehn on March 11, made Central the only school in this part of Indiana to so honor her debaters. Those students who brought honor to Central by debating were Helen Long, Max Ochstien, Maxine Brand, and Paul Schwehn as varsity debatersg jo Anne Sterling, Gayous Brindle, Robert Duell, Raymond Heine, Io Marbaugh, Frances Bliss, and Pauline Knipple as members of the squad. In the County Discussion Contest, Central was represented by Robert Duell and jo Anne Sterling. hxtemporaneous activities clamied Max Ochstein, Helen Long, and Robert Smith. 'l hen too, Herschel O'Shaughnessy and jo Anne Sterling rep- fr sented Central in a radio broadcast. All in all, a successful and satisfying year has been brought to a close as Mr. Coil completes his fifth year as speech teacher and coach at Central High School.
