With a flow ot words, someridiculous and others unexpectedly brilliant, the newly formed debate team started a new tradition at Heights. The team, started by Joan Churchill, was the beginning ot the debate program at Columbia Heights. When Miss Churchill explained to pro- spective debators the work debate in- volved, the teams membership dropped from about twenty-tive to eight people. The teams, A and B, attended debate tournaments every Saturday through Janu- ary to improve their debating skill with practice. The team made several overnight . trips to such places as Duluth. on By January the teams had accumulated a record ot several wins. ln a tournament at Duluth Central l-ligh School, the A team won a second place trophy.

I Tennis Courts And Swimming Pool Activate New Interest In the GAA With a combination of bruised shins, lost balls, and hard fought matches, the mem- bers of GAA ushered in the T968 school year. The girls' enjoyment of the new tennis courts was obvious since they made almost constant use of them. Of course, there were many other activi- ties besides tennis. GAA girls were kept busy throughout the year by such sports as in- door hockey, volleyball, dolly soccer, bas- ketball, baseball, trampoline, and tumbling. The gym was open every Tuesday after school to enable all GAA members to par- ticipate in the activities. To give the girls even more opportunity to employ the school's facilities, play days were held throughout the year at CHHS and at various other schools. GAA served not only its members but the rest of the school as well. The Homecoming throne, which GAA constructed with the help of the shop students, was completed this year in time for coronation. The day after coronation, however, it was mis- placed. But, due to the combined efforts of CHHS students, it was soon returned to its rightful place. Another club service was the purchase of a sweater and a GAA emblem for Mina Mortazavi, the foreign exchange student from Iran. It was hoped that this gift would help Mina to remember her many friends in the GAA of CHHS. Color was added to the Homecoming festivities by the blue and gold shakers GAA sold for the pepfest and game.
