Under the leadership of the above mentioned ohicers, the Hope Street High School Debating Society has enjoyed a very successful year. The fortnightly meetings have been Well attended throughout the winter and the enthusiasm of the individual members has helped to make the organization a flourishing one. Q The first debate was on February second With English High School in our hall and the question Was, Resolved: that Women should have equal suffrage with men. Hope maintained the affirmative and although We lost the decision, We had the satisfaction of realizing that a large majority of the audience were not in sympathy with the determina- tion of the judges. However, Hope put up a splendid light and each speaker delivered his arguments in a brilliant and eloquent manner. Hope has one more debate which is against Pawtucket High School. Hope has carried out its usual spirit of honest playing and has strengthened the debating society by supporting it and its team which filled the duties of a team admirably.
