Debating a topic of current national interest is the purpose of the debate team. This year's topic was discussing a method of restructuring the present method of funding election campaigns. The debate team traveled to the Purdue Student Legislative Conference where two members received honorable mention, the highest received in Elwood since 1969. They also went to Ball State for a debate tournament, besides traveling to other high schools around central Indiana to debate with other teams. The team's sponsor is Mr. Austin. 25
