Pei Eastern’s beloved game, football is over for this scholastic year, and basket- ball is now in the “limelight.” Eastern had a green team on the floor, with the exception of C. Eakle, and this was l'robably the reason for her defeat. “Friends” outplayed Eastern in the first half, but in spite of a big lead Eastern High School came back strong in the second half and came very near over- taking their opponents. Shinn and Lawson did some very gooa work, for Eastern High School. The final score was 38-34. 7M | pit 5 ih ae i al) i by i il ly yp aa Wh, fe i uy veh i oa ii ely? The Score: Tastern, Friends.

THE EASTERNER, lias passed upon them and seen that they are not too difficult, these twelve subjects are to be given out one week before the debate. Six days after this release, at each of the schools, a trial debate will be held, in which the three best debaters are picked to represent the school in the con- test of the next day. But, the debate mentioned above is not the kind with which the high school de- bater is now familiar. It is new and radical in plan. It is proposed that just before each contest, one of the twelve questions be drawn by lot. Each speaker is then to be introduced to the question and he is to be given one hour during which he cen gather his thoughts and prepare his speech upon either, neither, or both sides ot the case. At the end of this time, he will speak before the audience for ten minutes. The decision of the judges are vot to be made solely upon the contest of the speech, but also upon the charac- ter of the preparation and speech. In the inter-school contest, the speakers will be known by numbers and the judges will announce the three best speakers ac- cording to rank. The winning school will he the one whose individual contestants stand higher, as in a track meet. This plan does away with many of the features of the old system. Prepara- tion, long and tedious, but: thorough, is superseded by reliance upon general in- formation. Systematized analysis of the question is done away with, while quick and logical thinking must take its place. It abolishes entirely , the system of coaching, and throws the pupils on their own resources, thus obliterating one of the great objections to inter-school de- bating. This plan, as described or with a few minor changes, will probably be put 23 into operation between our school and Western, for as the Western puts it, ‘There is to be no choice between the old system and the new: the question is between the new and none at all.” PIILOLOGIAN NOTES. The Club work has been done about as usual. Several program meetings have been held at which the works of many of the romantic authors have .been dis- cussed. On November 27, we had a Wordsworth meeting. The roll call was answered by many beautiful quotations from the works of the author of the ait- ernocn. Lucy Graves told us about his life, and commented upon his joys and sorrows. Katharine Kalbfus talked about Wordsworth’s contemporaries, and from her talk we were able to con- rect him with some of the other great writers, American as well as English. Helen Mansuey read Matthew Arnold's opinion of Wordsworth as expressed in the poem entitled “On the Death of Wordsworth,” which compares him to two other eminent authors, Goethe and [tyron. Elizabeth Walton read “ We Are Seven,” and as a “grand finale” Helen Lockwood recited “Daffodils.” Several of the teachers were present at this meet- ing. We were delighted to see them, and hope that all the teachers know that they are always welcome whenever they can spare the time to come to our meeting. During the holidays the Club was busy secially. On December 2oth, the Society gave its annual “Christmas Dance” in the school gymnasium. This year we had a “Domino” dance in which all the girls were masked. The girls had a grand time, and, as soon as it was over began to look forward to another one.

In her second game of the scholastic series, Eastern High School sprung a surprise on all of us by defeating” Cathedral by 28-26 score. Cathedral had defeated Business in a preceding game by a good score, therefore we figure that Eastern must have improved greatly. The person responsible for this improve- ment is our old friend “Mac.” Harmon, Eakle and “Runt” Shinn starred for Eastern. The Score: Eastern. Cathedral Hl.
