One of the most outstanding organizations in school, the Harding Debate club, was founded at the beginning of the school year of 1923. It started with that unlucky number, thirteen members under the supervision of Mrs. Morrison, and at the present time has thirty active members. Last fall hot dogs were sold at the Hillyard- Lewis and Clark football game on Harmon field. A one act play the Economical Boomerang was given as a pay convocation to raise money for financing debate. In this play, we found Robert Rothwell made a good dress form for his wife Lillian Poffenroth. The first year the club gave S350 toward the Lincoln Memorial, the second year a pennant was presented to the high school. This is the only I pennant thelschool has. The National Forensic League and the National Honor Society are spon- sored by this group. The debate banquet was given by the club January 25, lat the Oasis in honor of our debate team who wvon for us the permanent possession of the Harvard Debate cup. Superintendent O. C. Pratt who attended said that Hillyardls de- bate team made a good impression on his mind. On May 29 another one act play was given, the Tale of a Shirt? The proceeds were given to the Student Benefit Fund. Peggy Walker and Dorothy McCormick gave a skit called '1Stage Struck and our famous actor Herb Cook was featured in a skit What do You Mean Bashfulf' l OFFICERS ' I President ,,.....,..,,,. .. ........ .....
