DON'T TAKE MY PENNY All High Play Don't Take My Penny , was presented November l5, as this year's all-high play, This play was a story ot sixteen year old Penny who is walking around with a book on her head and a dreamy look in her eyes preparing herself to play the star in the movie version of a popular novel. The author is searching the country over for his ideal, and Penny iust knows she'll be chosen. What Penny doesn't know is that Sally, the new maid, is a former child star. Also she ignores the talent of her quiet, unseltish older sister, Mavis, who has small parts in radio. Committees assisting with the production included: prompters, Marjorie Pierce and Joyce Willis, stage managers, Richard Zellmer and Lawrence Flood, make-up, speech class with Miss Florence Rees in charge, advertising, Doris Milliken, Carol Kuchenbuch, Jean Stubbs, and Betty Badgley. Q. J. Lefevre's shop class constructed the set. The play, under the direction of Miss Irene Huttman, drew a packed house.

L t DEBATE Davenport High started debate again after an absence from the scene for many years. There were eight debaters, all of whom were very green at the beginning of the O th ad were Dave Johnson, Donna year but at the end were classed as veterans. n e squ Harris, Verle Spilker, Pat Janett, and Barney Reagan, negative, and Alice Page, Velma Conrad and Ted Zier, affirmative. The national debate question for this year, Resolved: That the Federal Govern- ment should provide a system of complete medical care available to all citizens at public expense, seemed to all to be a quite difficult subiect because of its wide scope of thought. The debates were in two completely different forms. The first half was the problem solving type with each member giving a problem solving solution, the second half was devoted to the regular cross question type of debate. The D,H.S, team had eight scheduled debates, four at home and four away. North Central, West Valley, Marycliff, and Lewis and Clark were away, and Central Valley, Lewis and Clark, West Valley, and Gonzaga debates were here. Davenport didn't do very well in the scoring but individual debaters were all out- standing at different times. Donna Harris, Pat Janett, and Barney Reagan are seniors so they won't be here next year. Miss Rees, the debate coach, is to be commended on her fine iob of shaping the debate team.
