KIWANIS DEBATE For many weeks before the debate was staged the two teams met separately working out concise points and subtle rebuttals, all with much secrecy. The all important question was Resolved; That the proposed amendment to the state constitution con- cerning tax limitation is to the best interests of the state. Those supporting the affirmative were John Crego, Mary Joyce Wells and Russell Greene. Their opponents were Urana Chamberlain, Helen McNeill and Kirby West. On Tuesday, May 26, at noon the debaters were invited to dine with the Kiwanis Club and present their debate. Each was allowed three minutes for direct argument and two minutes for rebuttal. It seemed to the debaters that all too often the gong interrupted their very eloquent arguments. A general vote by the Kiwanis decided that those upholding the negative side were the winners and each was given two dollars. Even the losing side were rewarded for their valiant efforts by one dollar apiece. Mr. Elden trained the members of the debate team in the fundamentals of good debating. We wish to show our appreciation to the Kiwanis Club for promoting this worthwhile project which affords us students practical experience in debating. CLASS WILL (Continued from Pa e 21) Rachel Farnsworth bequeaths her Garbo Glide to Lucille Follay. Maybe that will take care of Lucille's feet. Hugo Heinemann wills his optimistic attitude, especially towards senior projects, to the Board of Education. Leland Huntley leaves his liking for English to Miss Pike. Somebody should like it, and the teacher is the logical one. Carl Lynch bequeaths his ability to converse on agri- cultural topics to Dorothy Getlman who always is at a loss for words. Elizabeth McCarthy leaves her gift of gab to that walking sleeper, Fred Sullivan. John Navin leaves his mighty physique to Robert Currie, the Freshman genius. With my brains and your brawn— Helen Patchett and Mildred Rich combine their cooking and housekeeping abilities and leave this rare gift to Martha Sullivan. We're sure she can make use of it. Fred Peters leaves his Dawley girl to his brother. But what will Wilbur do with two of them? Harold Reaumc leaves his meek voice and manner to Lucy Ann Davis, whose voice has made all our teachers more acute of hearing, worse luck. James Turner leaves his all-round athletic ability to Michael Sawyer. This should round out Michael's develop- ment. Edwin Smith and Charles Woods left all they could spare last year, and have no bequests to make. Witness therefore our sign and seal set forth on this 23rd day of June, nineteen hundred and thirty-six. DAVID BOGDANOFF SEYMOUR FURBUSH
