Van Dyke HavarJ Barrett Schicfcrstcin Bromley Debate I lie question for debate this year was a most interesting one: “Resolved: That the United States should adopt the essential features of the British system of radio control and operation.” The affirmative stand was upheld by Jack Van Dyke and Betty Schieferstein, while the negative was supported by Florence Havard and Billy Bromley. Howard Barrett coached both teams. For the second consecutive year the annual district debate title was won by Medford High. All debates were held February 13, 14 and 15, and were judged by Professor W. A. Dahlberg of the University of Oregon. Debate Club A debate club was organized this year under the supervision of Howard Barrett. The club members were Billy Bromley, Clyde Everton. Florence Havard. Maida Heath, Hi Norton. Marguerite Potter, Walter Roberts. Betty Schieferstien. Jack Van Dyke. Boo Howard, and Bob ReGester. A comic debate, Which Comes First—The Chicken or the Egg?” was presented to the Student Body by Betty Schieferstien, Florence Havard, Bill Bromley, and Jack Van Dyke. i he officers are Florence Havard, President: Bill Bromley, Vice-President; Maida Heath, Secretary-Treasurer. Orchestra Under Martin Trepte's diligent and capable directions, the High School Orchestra has maintained its high standard of excellence. The annual concert presented in the auditorium was marked by the fine unity and responsiveness of the members acquired under Mr. Trepte's baton during the course of the year’s rehearsals. The well balanced program of classics, semi-classics, and a comic feature. The Musician’s Strike,” especially arranged by Trepte, won just praise and favor from all. Of special interest to many were two numbers conducted by John Sheldon and Jack Van Dyke. Added attractions were Rosamond Weston's piano solo, Hungarian Rhapsody,” and a clarinet solo by Jack Van Dyke accompanied by the orchestra. 1 he orchestra presented a half hour program to the Student Body last semester and the band has contributed to pep rallies and games. The orchestra also plans to take a part in the annual music festival at Ashland this year.
