Dave Golding debates the affirmative side in class as Dana Robinson and Matt Van Hook look on. Doug Ford drives a point home as he refutes the argu- ments of the opposing team.

Debate develops logical discipline To prepare interested students for interscholastic debate com- petition, a special credit course was set up. ln debate class stu- dents spend most of their time in informal class debates, or just friendly arguing. There is more to being a debator, however. lt is understood that a student who is really interested should spend as much of his time in outside research as he would spend in doing homework for a regular course. Although polished oratory and logic play a large role in effective debating, a tile box filled with every conceivable kind of information comes in handy. Often the right quotation is worth five minutes of hot air. This year the debate topic was resolved that the Foreign Aid Program of the United States should be limited to non-military assistance. On varsity affirmative were Malcolm Smuts and Greg Oxford. Varsity negative consisted of Al Miller and Jim Weinrich. Junior varsity teams were: affirmative, Larry Deck and Jerry Kroppg negative, Mary Steere and Matt Van Hook. Seaholm's debate squad had a fairly good year, although it failed to score a victory against its arch-rival, Kimball.
