SCHOOL DEBATES CContinited from page 235 Misses Chapman and Law, 2D, up- held the affirmative side, and Misses 'Kay and Carpenter, ZG, supported the negative. ' After a debate in which both teams displayed remarkable argumentative ability, 2D succeeded in proving that, besides the rules for upward r , the girls should also learn to sweep in the corners, bathe baby and keep hubby from getting indigestion. After the debate, we had the pleas- ure of seeing the film, The Eastern High School of Commerce, which was taken last year and brought up-to- date with the addition of this year's track, basketball and debating teams, as well as the winners of the honor letter. The Senior Final: The senior final debate was held in the auditorium on Friday evening, February 24. The program opened with musical selections, broadcasted from the stage. Again the debating committee had an absorbing program for the enthusiasts who packed the auditorium to hear. Misses Ander- son and Meharry, 3C, who upheld the afiirmative, and Misses Hornell and Duncan, 4S1, who had the negative of the question, Resolved that the Canadian government should take steps to inaugurate a 30-hour week in industry. We are indeed radio-minded for as a sequel to the announcing contest, we had an entertaining contest. Swift and Regester were good, purveying harmony and humor. Ben Sugarman and Bud Lunney caught quite a few laughs while assassinating Caesar a la Chicago. Mike Shamata and Jack Fisher with a variety program were entertaining. The honors went to Kay Walkinshaw and Gladys Bartle, who as the Onymous sisters, Anne and Synne, were judged the best. Ninety The girls in their unusual program gave impressions of Kate Smith, Mrs. Pennyfeather and other radio celebrities. Following the entertainment 'came the feature of the evening, the debate. The argument of both sides was en- lightening and interesting and all the debaters showed both courage and ability in presenting the case for their sides. A close, but well-deserved vic- tory was gained by 3C. The senior shield was presented by Dr. Guest, of the Board of Education, with an appropriate address. It was heartening to see the large number of parents who were present and it is hoped that we will have them with us again next year.

Student: No wonder I failed on my examination. --Stamford Collegiate. Ninety-+wo MR. FRISBY INTERVIEWED fC'0ntinued from page 2.45 are changing. There was a time when employment could be secured because of what one could do at the momentg now, people are taking a larger view and young persons are employed, be- cause of the possibilities they possess. Men, who employ, are considering the future, and in forming an estimate of the possible future worth of a young person, matters like these are considered-the relation of the per- son to the home, the value of the person in the school, the ability to think, quickness in picking up and accuracy in arrangement, interest in the finer things, a breadth of view, a willingness to work. These combined with a sense of beauty, keep life in proportion and make a young person valuable to society. A little while ago, the specialist was more in demand. Now the spec- ialty is taken for granted. It must be had. It is a qualification, but it is considered satisfactory only when it is surrounded with those finer things which make life worth living. In short, the slowing up of busi- ness tends to give prominence to the better things, which were being lost in the rush. Some of our young people do not yet recognize that the change has made some headway and that people are being employed with more care. lllilllllllllllllllllllillIllIlllI!Il1IlllIllllIlIIIlIHIllllIIlIIHlllIllIlllllllllllIllIIllllIllIllIlllllllIHIllIllllllllllllllllllllllll JUNIOR CAGERS .SPEEDY lContinued from page 635 though given little chance to display his true merits. Fred Airey, also an alternate, and the team's heavy- weight, came through when called upon. Henderson, a late starter, showed his mettle many times. Mc- Guflin, centre, a good jumper and a dangerous man around the basket. Long and Ross, both newcomers, proved valuable to the team. -111- i111 EASTERN ECHO i.l-i-l1I ilglnilish
