INKLINGS DEBATE SQUAD Top Row: Ray Bjorklund, Dick Joyce. Miss Richey, Jack Heide. Bottom Row: Mary Scull, Marjorie Frame, Georgia Carroll. Debate Squad Has Successful Year For the fix-st time in several years, under the leadership of our very efficient dramatics and speech teacher, Miss Evelyn Richey, Crown Point High School had a debate squad during 1935-36. Try-outs were open to all high school English students after which the following squad was chosen: Ray Bjorklund, who was elected captain, Jack Heide, Georgia Carroll, Marjorie Frame, Mary Scull, Dick Joyce, and Norman Kaper. In the final lineup the two teams were organized with Ray Bjorklund and Jack Heide as the negative team and Marjorie Frame and Georgia Carroll as the affirmative team. To win a place on the squad means that a student has shown superior ability and exhibited unusual intellectual ca¬ pacity, and if he is not already a leader in his school, he will find his debate experience a valuable method of developing his personal¬ ity. At the beginning of the season the debate squad joined the Indi¬ ana State Debating League; and after a triangular debate with Griffith and Merrillville, they won the district tourney. They tied with Clark of Hammond in the sec¬ tional tourney for the right to com¬ pete in the state tournament at North Manchester but lost to Clark in a second debate. This spring Crown Point High School was issued a charter in the National Forensic League, a nation¬ al fraternity for outstanding high school debaters and speakers. Five members are eligible for member¬ ship to the society as a result of their successful work in the debate squad this year. Ray Bjorklund won the third degree of member¬ ship, called the degree of excel¬ lence; Georgia Carroll, Marjorie Frame, and Jack Heide have won : the second or honorary degree; and Dick Joyce lacked only a few points : of winning the first or degree of merit. j Since this was the first year of experience for all of them, they are to be highly complimented on their unusual success which has made it possible to have debate as a curricu¬ lar subject next year with full credit. With this in mind we are looking forward to a more success¬ ful season next year; and, to quote Miss Richey, “We hope we can represent C. P. H. S. even in the state tournament.” Debate Schedule Neg.

This organization was formed at I the beginning of the first semester in September, 1935, for the purpose of promoting various athletic activ¬ ities and good sportsmanship and to revive interest in athletics in Crown Point High School. Officers elected for the fall semester were: Wilford Brown, president; John Hershman, vice-president; and Jim Of outstanding importance in the extra-curricular program inaugur¬ ated in Crown Point High during the past school year are the club organizations. These groups, or¬ ganized by the students under the sponsorship of a selected faculty member and chartered by the stud¬ ent council, are representative of the school’s various departments of activity and instruction. The Athletic Club and Hi-Y for Athletic Club Louis, secretary. Paul Church was sponsor of the club. No changes were made in the administration for the second semester, but Mr. Lindley became the club’s sponsor following the resignation of Mr. Church. The Athletic Club was responsible for a number of events, the most important and by far the most boys and the Girl Reserve organ- | ization undertake to promote the principles of good sportsmanship and Christian ideals in the student body. Members of the Symphony Club, led by Mr. Ready, devote their time chiefly to music appreciation: and through its C. P. H. S. chap ter the Future Farmers of America offers to agriculture students the opportunity for greater enjoyment and benefit from the agriculture successful of which was the class basketball tourney held in the latter part of March. The purposes of the group are good ones, and there is need for such a club in the school. Next year, with a well-organized extra¬ curricular program, the Athletic Club should be one of the most active and worth-while organiza¬ tions. course. Throughout the year these five organizations could always be depended upon to do their share in boosting every worth-while activ- jity. Pruitt: Have you got change for a dollar? Weinberg: (delivering letter) Yes I believe I have. Pruitt: Good, then you won ' t need a tip.
