Uhr Brhating Svnrirtg Qbflirvrz President, HAROLD A. SVVEETLAND, '04 Secretary, EDWARD C. HENIPEL, '04 Vice-President, W ELCOME B. DARLING, '05 Treasurer, RICHARD ALLEN, '06 Question Committee WM. BEARMAN, '04, Chairman, MR. TIBBETS, LEWIS D. N ISBET, '04, The Hope Street High School Debating Society was organized January 14, 1904 with a membership of fifty. The society is made up of students of the Sophomore, Junior and Senior classes. This society is the first union of its kind that has ever been established among the young men of the school and up to the present time, it has proved itself worthy of becoming a Hope institution. The plan for the formation of such an organization has been under discussion for a number of years but it remained for the strenuous and energetic young men of the class of '04 to make this society a possibility. They have overcome all obstacles by their perseverance and, as a result of their work, we have this promising organization. The members of the Debating Society beside receiving an excellent training in argumentative speaking, are becoming thoroughly conversant with all the laws of parliamentary procedure. We feel confident that should one of them be suddenly called upon to conduct a meeting he would be able to do so with credit to himself and in a true parliamentary fashion. This-thanks to H. S. H. S. D. S. Dr. Dennis and Mr. Tibbets have been very active in the doings of the Debating Society. To these gentlemen it is indebted for 'many helpful suggestions as well as the work done in presenting questions and in the drawing up of the constitution. Although many challenges have been received by the society they have been politely rejected as we have as yet no representative team. If indications count for anything however, Hope is going to have a debating team that will make them all look to their laurels. This is not mere braggodocio, if you think so, you have not heard Messrs. Allen, Wilmot, Harding, Copeland and Roll Call Mitchell. Following is the list of the debates up to date and the winners: First Debate, February 12, 1904. Resolved that in case of immediate war the chances of Japan are equal to those of Russia. Decision for the affirmative represented by Nathan Sternscher, '04 and Welcome Darling, '05. Second Debate, February 26, 1904. Resolved that the part taken by the administration of the U. S. in recognizing the independence of Panama was justifiable. Decision for the affirmative represented by Albert Cristy, '05,
