LITTLE C DEBATE AND SPEECH CHAMPS Back row: Warren Vincent, Mr. Cobb (Coach), Robert Warner. Front row: Virginia Bender, Janet Howe, end Doris Grimes. During the school year of 1S37-38 the speech department carried on a very active program. Our first tournament was held in December. It was a disappointment, lor we won one but lest the other. From December to the middle of January, more time was spent and more practice debates scheduled, for, to place first it was necessary to win the last two debates. January the 13th, the debate squad returned from Albion with the trophy and the right to enter the State Eliminations. We met Coldwater and were defeated, as Prof. Robinson said, in a very close debate . We look ahead to next year, hoping we can repeat this year's performance. Back row: Mr. Whetstone, Advisor, Elizabeth Parker, Dorothy Arnold, Caroline Rroul, Marian Whetstone, Shirley Smith, Doris Shaffer. Front row: Bob Warner, Marian Osborn, Betty Carrick, Mary Larder, Dorthea Hamilton, Lawrence Boyd LATIN CLUB In September we, of the second year Latin Class, resumed the activities of our Latin Club, which we had named Socli Romanii, or Roman Friends. The officers elected for the year were: President Bob Warner, Vice President Marian Whetstone, Secretary-Treasurer Janet Howe. There remained only 15 members of the 21 who had started out the previous year. Later on in the year our number was reduced to 13 members. We met every second Thursday and had programs dealing with the mythology and history of the Greek and Roman people. In May we held the party for which we had been planning all year and which was a big success. 32
