16 THE TATTLER THE DEBATE. Friday evening, March 22, the High School presented an entertainment in the form of a literary and debating contest, which reflects great credit on the participants and those wiho managed the affair. This is by no means a new venture for the school, but has simply been revived this year, and it is hoped that it may be made a regular custom each year. The program was opened by music from the orchestra, followed by the debate, “Resolved, That the Monroe Doctrine should he retained as a permanent policy of the United States.” The affirmative was upheld by Albert Hall and Fred Green of the Smith society and Marjorie Abbott of Der Zeitgeist society. The negative by Fanny Wardwell of the Au Fait society and Eugene Mason and John Rupp of the Varsity. The rebuttal was conducted on the affirmative by Albert Hall and on the negative hv Eugene Mason. The six speakers showed the utmost familiarity with the subject, and their arguments were keen and set forth with vigor. The next was a selection by the girls’ octette who were forced to respond to an encore. This was followed by an original story by Miss Jean Eagles, the subject of which was “The Recital.” The other original story was read by Miss Harriet Stoke, “The Wager.” The first of the two orations was now delivered by Olin Doffort. The subject of this, “The Voice of the People.” Following this came a very pleasing solo by Walter Dunn, who was compelled to “come again.” “The Price She Pays” was the subject of the oration by Jay Keidel. Then came the two recitations, “The Piazza Ladies,” by Miss Charlotte Cossitt and “Mavmie’s Story of Little Red Riding Hood,” by Miss Mabel Smith. The octette gave another selection while the judges were deciding upon the awarding of the prizes. The result of the judges’ deliberation was that the debate was awarded to the negative, the original story to Miss Jean Eagles, the oration to Jay Keidel and the recitation to Miss Charlotte Cossitt. The Smith and Varsity met at last Down on the old Gym floor. This determined who was best No doubt you know the score. They battled long and furious. The game was full of vim. But from the first there was no doubt But that the Varsity would win. Little drops of perspiration. Little grains of grit. The only way to show the Varsity That we are really it. Bigger drops of perspiration. Bigger grains of grit; Thus it was the Varsity Showed who was really it. —Smith. —Varsity.

18 THE TATTLER A. H. S. VS. C. H. S. On March 7, Conneaut High journeyed to Ashtabula and were defeated by the close score of 19 to 17. Some say C. H. S. was defeated by the referee, others say by the team of A. H. S. In fact, the main reason was that most of the Conneaut men lost their bean after a few fouls had been called on C. H. S. and talked a little too much to the umpire so that he watched them closer than ever, but even then Conneaut had the lead and there seemed no way of beating them; so for some unknown reason the umpire took his spite out on Hubbard by putting him out o1' the game. Moreover, Conneaut was weak at shooting fouls, for about one out of fom seemed the best that they could do. CHilds was there in getting baskets, making three in the game. Davis and Leach had to be satisfied with two apiece. The team work of Hubbard and Smith was fine. Eagles went in Hubbard’s place when the latter was taken out of the game. C. H. S.—17. Line-Up. A. H.

They played their best but the team work and basket shooting of the shipyard city fair sex was too much for them. It was demonstrated early in the game that they were in a class by themselves and should be congratulated on their work, considering this is their first year that they have taken part in this line of sport. The shooting of Miss Debell was the feature of the game, ror time and time again when the ball was advanced down tthe floor into her hands it was tossed into the basket no matter how difficult the ansr’e was. The Conneaut stars were the Misses Marcy and Sanford. Miss Marcy secured one field basket and one foul, all the points that Conneaut could get. It was Miss Sanford’s first game and her guarding was of a high degree, holding her opponent scoreless. C. H. S.—3. Line-Up. H. H. S.—15. Pearce...................R. F.................
