 Burl Cobb Merlin Hsk Gerald Berger James Bell Marjorie Williams Mr. Horsley Ruth McKnight Until 1931 when this school became a member ol the State Debating League, debate was only an extra curricular activity. Before this there was little thought given to debate for there was not the goal to work for that there is now that of being state champion. Until 1936 Mr. Micken was the advisor and coach. Mr. Horsley succeeded him. The question for debate this year is Resolved: That the several states should adopt a unicameral system of legislation. On March 8, 1938, Merlin Fisk and Burl Cobb journeyed to Conrad and there upheld the affirmative in a non-decision debate. Ten days later on March 18, 1938 the two teams debated with the “'two from Great Falls. This was also non-decision. Merlin Fisk and Burl Cobb upheld the affirmative while James Bell and Gerald Berger upheld the negative. There were two debates in the afternoon with the squads taking the opposite sides. This same practice was followed on March 22 when two Conrad teams met us here. This time the affirmative and negative were upheld by the same teams as in the Great Falls debates. On April 1. they met Simms and Great Falls in those towns and on April 22 and 23 they participated in the District Tournament at Great Falls. This year more schools in the district have entered the Debating League thus making debating more interesting and stimulating for the other schools in the district.

For several years the paper was mimeographed and almost entirely essay in form. Around 1925 it was discontinued for two or three years and when it was again resumed it was more like a newspaper but still mimeographed. A printed form was attempted for two years but discarded as the school seemed not yet large enough to support it. Last year and this year the printed form has been used fairly successfully. The purpose of the Live Wire is to promote school spirit, interest, originality, and responsibility. It has been the policy to dedicate most of the space to school activities, news of the different classes, and original articles submitted by students. The paper this year is a four-page printed news sheet, issued twice a month. It receives its income from regular advertisements. The staff of the Live Wire consists of the editor-in-chief; assistant editor; business, circulation, and advertising managers, classroom, music, humor, society, sports, news, club, and class reporters; columnists; printer's devil; typists; and an advisor chosen from the faculty. Each person on the staff receives one-quarter credit a year for his work.
