TH E FULTONIAN Debating li. Mi-ln-gan, J. Bixby, M. llill, Miss Johnston, ll. Gardner, L. Rowley, M. Blake, P. Moon. The subject' for debate this year was Resolved, that installment buy- ing is a menace to American prosperity. Three debates have been held, resulting in two defeats and one victory. Two debates were with Blodgett Vocational High School of Syracuse, like Fulton, who were members of the Union College Debating League. Members of the aflirmative team which debated at home, were Josephine Bixby, Edward VValsh and Edward Nlehegan, with Lois Rowley as the alternate. The decision was 3-0 in favor of Blodgett High. One week later, the negative team, accompanied by a large delegation of Fulton debating fans, went to Syracuse for the return debate. The members of this team were Hilda Gardner, Peter Moon and Margaret Blake. Marion Hill was alternate. The result was a 2-1 vote in favor of Syracuse. ' The climax of the debating season came with the debate at Norwich High School, April 15, in which Fulton was represented by the affirmative team. After keeping Fulton in suspense for a Whole day, the team re- turned about 8 P. M. with the news of a 2-1 victory. An excellent lunch was served at Norwich in the domestic science house-but it could not long quiet the pangs of hunger of the Fultonians. To cap the climax-Mr. lVIacDonald forgot that they might want something to eat until he had safely piloted them through the streets of Syracuse. -...,Ef25E,..-
