The debaters, with their coach. Mr. Nus had quite a successful season. Most people, unless they have had experience in this, think of the gruesome amount of work in debating, plus the horrifying thought of speaking for ten minutes. Debat -rs will not deny that there i a certain amount of work, hut the fun of debating makes up for it As for speaking, any debater will tell you that speaking provides a good argument and those arguments can get warm. This season the question up for debate was; Resolved: That the Power of the DEBATE Federal Government Should Me Increased.’' 1'his was a good debatable question with sides quite evenly divided. In our debates we met several of the surrounding teams ami entered a few tournaments. a few of them being Whitewater. Rockford, and Watertown. In all of our debates. Negative or Affirmative, first or second team, we slid our best. We of the debate teams fed that as a whole we have profited by the season, and had a grand time.

It is named for the number which made it famous—Tiger Hag, though there may he nore personal reasons. To become a Wildcat you must fulfill two requirements: you must he a male, and you must leave little to be desired as a musician. (This explains why Wildcats arc so rare.) Their main activities are: playing at pep meets, and basketball games, and disturbing any one within two blocks, when they practice.

Business problems are discussed and plays are sometimes put on to bring out the character traits which people in business should possess. One play, “Prospects, brought out good and poor salesmanship. Another play, “The (iojdcn Hand.” brought out the qualities which a stenographer should have. The Club has bad several social func-t'ons this year including a Halloween party and a Christmas party. Another party is also being planned for May. In order to earn some money, the Club had a candy sale, and held a “Sunset Dance . All the members of the Club have enjoyed it very much. The members have learned many valuable things and had lots of fun doing it. BOYS QUARTETTE If you happen to be walking past the music room on any Tuesday after school and hear something floating out of the window (if it isn't a member) it's the Boys Quartette doing their weekly bit of harmonizing. This year for the first time in several years, a boys quartette was formed under the direction of Miss Perry. The four: Jim Burt, second bass; Marshall Jacobs, first bass; Jack Stariu. second tenor, and Lyle Olson, first tenor. They have sung several times at the pep-meeting’s and have -.elected two numbers “I.ove Came Calling ami “( limbing Up the Mountains. tor tournament competition. (See them on page 4l»)
