DEBATING TEAM Ax I 'walls Ivy niysvlf l :Ind talk fo nzyxvlf- Debating has been very popular at Covert this year. Our teams are indeed sorry that for this year debating is over for them. Not only have they enjoyed the friendly battles and-the friendships which have resulted from their contact with fellow workers from other schools, but they are now realizing some of the benefits gained from their work. The jury. one of our much discussed American institutions, is no longer a vague and unknown term, but a deiinite and interest- ing factor. Speech making in the Assembly is not a thing to dread, but one of the ordinary occurrences of' school life. Although ten points out of a possible sixteen did not permit entrance into the State Elimination Contest, nevertheless. those same ten points spelled victory in three out of four debates. Covert is proud of her four representatives who have never before debated and who, in fact, previous to this year, had never but once attended a debate. Next year should bring greater victories because our team will consist of only one inexperienced debator and of two veteran debators, Ruth and Margaret. Furthermore, who knows but that next year will bring us for that inexperienced debator another Bernard to astound our patrons with his heights of oratorical reasoning. 46

C. rooms. followed by entertainment inthe gym, such as Basketball with the Referee QMrs. Andrewsb helping both teams. This night also taught us that several of the ll. E. students were hue imitators of the High School faculty. Our many activities tor this year have included lunches after Debates and Basketball games. The girls certainly have enjoyed being members of this Club and sincerely wish to thank Mrs. Andrews. who, through her etlorts, has made this Club a success. ' 45

MEDAL WINNERS l l H.Slll1CIl'fhX', .VHIfII'f'X', SllICU'f,X', , Tlmuylzt ydllilf l1rI7't' rl f'fIl'fj',:' l For the past several years, the Board of Education has awarded gold medals to the high school students who have gained special distinction in scholarship, character, personality and school citizenship. VVe believe that these are very essential qualities which a student should seek to attain in his or her high school career. Their possession will be of inestimable value in the realization of the best in their future as well as being most valuable in their present school life. VVe believe that the Board of Education has conferred a real favor by man- ifesting its support of the policy of our school by granting these line and attrac- tive medals from year to year. Not only does it provide an added incentive on the part of the student, but it gives him or her a concrete reminder of' a worthy achievement. VVQ are pleased to announce the names of the following students who won the medals for the school year of 1928-29. Maxine H. Olson, '29 tDo- mestic Artj 3 Clara M.
