Conscription? The Debate group attended some twenty debate meets during the course of this year. Each of those meets called for debating two to four rounds. However, debating is only a part of this groups activities. This group attended some ten solo speech contests in the year’s time. They entered three student congress groups: regional, district, and state. They joined in two day national and state contests in debate and speech. The debate spent two days at Purdue for the con¬ ference debate. Members of our group entered the Voice of Democracy radio con¬ test and the American Legion Speech Contest and participated in the radio show over WWCA. Dick Patterson was one of ten selected from some 250 students at Purdue as the best in their Extemporaneous Speech Contest. He was also chosen to represent Crown Point in the Voice of Democracy Contest.
