DEBATING TEAM The Debating Club was re-organized in November, 1934, for the purpose of training young men and women in the art of arguing and reasoning. lt has been possible for every member of this Club to take part in an inter-school debate. Not a single contest has been lost due to this participation. V The Club is very happy to have had associations with the following schools in West Kentucky: Sharpe, Hickman, Benton, Hardin, Tilghman, Reidland, Lone Oak, and Murray Training School. ln this series the Heath Club suffered five defeats. A team composed of Roy Vance, Boyce McFlya and Zack Hill accompanied by their coach, Mrs. Furuth Swift closed the debating season with a trip to Morganfield, Kentucky, and Evansville, lndiana. On March 22-23, the District Tournament was held at Murray and the three boys came out with flying colors. After following probably the hardest route of any team in the tournament by defeating Bandana, Lone Oak and Benton, they lost to Reidland by a two to one decision, thus entitling them to a trip to Lexington April 4, 5, 6, to compete in the State Tournament for State Championship. Much of the success of the Debating Club was due to the untiring efforts of their sponsor, Mrs. Euruth R. Swift.

BASKETBALL---Continued WILLARD CARNEAL-ffewmigf' ' Carneal, regular forward all season until he sprained his ankle in practice, will be missed ncxt year. He closed his career in the Calvert City game of -3 the Regional Tournament with a bang, scoring 4 points in 37 seconds. Con X' was a regular on the champion reserve team of ,34. CAPTAIN EZRA DAVIS- Horkim Captain Ezra Davis, star forward, high scorer for the season, letter man for three years, and all regional forward two years, ranks high in the history of Heath High basketball. Hoskins,' has a great career on he hardwood both behind and in front of him. LEE L. PENN- Rabbit Penn won his second letter the first semester but was ineligible the second because of the eight-semester ruling. The Pirates were undefeated while Penn was with them. He was the best defensive man on the squad, in ad- dition to controlling the tip-off and making his share of points. PHIL MAGRUDER- Dilly Phil, a senior, was not a member of the starting line-up, but was valuable reserve material and served efficiently at the center post or as guard when needed. ln '34 he made the reserve team. ANDREW -IENKINS- Bully Andrew jenkins, center, is a senior and made the team in '35, the only year he came out for basketball. Even though he lacked experience, he was il great defensive player and seldom failed to get the tip-off. EDWIN OVERSTREET- Ed Although short of stature, Overstreet was 160 pounds of fighting energy from start to finish. Ed played regular at the guard position the first year he came out for basketball. Overstreet is a sophomore and we expect tw.: more brilliant years from him. We know he won't disappoint us as he never has. JESSE CARNEAL, -IR.- JM jesse Carneal, -Ir., although not a member of the first five, always saw service before the game was over. He thrilled the fans with his uncanny jump-shots besides cutting his man on the defense. He has another year ahead of him, so watch him in '36. 'x WILLIAM ERNEST LONG-ffamiw Ernie , the dribbling and shooting sensation o'f the Pirate '35 team, is a senior and has many points to his credit. In '34 Ernie made the tourna- ment team and will be remembered in the history of the school for the ac- curacy of his long shots. HOWARD lVlASSlE- Mamie Massie, a senior, was a good substitute at the guard and center positions during the first half of the ,35 season. The Pirates missed Massie as reserve after his graduation at mid-term. In ,34 he made the reserve team that won the championship at Lone Oak. VICTOR SMITH- Vic Vic, a star guard, was very consistent and very capable of his calmness at all stages of the game. He is a senior very much on the varsity next year. He made the reserve team in ' 3 4. Egllai. - , ,. 'lr
