THE MODULUS Ballyhooers To become more eflfective in the art of talking, twenty-six students tried out for debate. The committee who judged these aspirants for oratorical fame were Miss Beatrice Brown, and Miss Martha Tyner. Because of their unusual ability in expostulating theories on the subject of chain stores, eight persons were chosen for the fii ' st team: Miriam Dumbauld, Helenjane Meier, Louis Lichtsinn, and Tom Wasmuth defend the affirmative side of the argument, while Alice Hurd, Jean Smith, Ruth Wike, and Lucile Dan- iels oppose the proposition. The subject for discussion as proposed by the Indiana State High School Debating League stands as follows: Resolved, That the present system of installment buying should be con- demned. A second team was also chosen so that they will gain experience for future in the coming years. These secondaries, are comprised of James Branyan, Ruth Allison, Mary Farmer, Donald Freehafer, Louise Herman, Marianna Mc- Crum, Glen Rickert, and Helen Newcomb. The coaches have arranged some stiff com- petition to prove the skill of the debaters. The district contests begin in December and last not later than February. The first debate was held Tuesday, December 10, at Columbia City, the Huntington negative versus the Columbia City affirmative team. The Huntington team won with a decision of two to one. The debate was judged by a critic judge from North Manchester, Professor George Beau- champ. Mr. Beauchamp is the president of the state debating league. The constructive speeches were ten minutes in length, while the first two rebuttals were five minutes and the third eight minutes. The Huntington team was composed of Alice Hurd, Jean Smith, Ruth Wike, and Lucile Daniels acting as alternate. Other debates are with South Side of Fort Wayne, and with Central of Fort Wayne. This will close the Northeastern Confei-enco, with two debates for each team. The state debates will start after the Christ- mas vacation. The negative team will meet Bunkerhill, there; Fairmount, here; and Hart- ford City, there. The affirmative will contest with Wabash, there; Huntington Township, here; and Peru here. Last year the debate team succeeded in going to the semi-finals in the state contest, being elimi- nated by Goshen, the winners in the finals. Of this team only Miriam Dumbauld was left for the squad this year. First Affirmative: Second Affirmative: Wasmuth, Dumbauld, Meier, Lichtsinn Branyan, Herman. McCrum, Rickert. First Negative: Daniels. Wike, Hurd, Jackson. Second Negative: Farmer, Newcomb, Allison, Freehafer. Page Twenty December, 1930

THE MODULUS Gridiron Groans Clum C. Bucher WITH the close of the 1930 football year. Clum Bucher completed his third season as head coach of football at Huntington High School. He also fills the same position in baseball. Graduating from Indiana University in the summer of 1928, he came immediately to Huntington to take over his coaching duties the following fall. At college he earned his major letter in both the sports he is now coaching, which makes him very capable to fill the position, having both prac- tical experience and a knowledge of the game. The cheer leaders this year were chosen by a popular vote of the student body, with Mary Ellen W i 1 1 i s, Wanda O ' dier, C 1 o yce Nichols, and Jack Hefner being selected. Although there was no organized yelling section, the leaders suc- ceeded in getting plenty of noise from the students at the games, and they had both the players and the spectators pep- ped up at all times. Few students realize the importance of a student manager and there- fore they cannot appreciate the work of Arthur Frewer who filled the position excel- lently. Art was a star mem- ber of the track team last spring and for that reason , . he was well versed in the fr Bi HBV methods of treating sprains, bruises, sore muscles, and other injuries which occur on the football field. He was at practice every night and was Arthur Frewer always workiug for the best Paul B. Kriegbaum Hefner, O ' dier. Willis, Hosier. interests of the team. He was well liked by all the members of the team and his work was deep- ly appreciated by them. Paul Kriegbaum, athletic director of the high school, also deserves much praise for his work. Probably his most important duty is the making of the schedules for all the sports. He has already com- pleted next year ' s football card and is working on the basketball schedule for 1931-32. He also assists in the hand- ling of suits and supplies and at different times during the football season he aided Mr. Bucher in his coaching duties. A sweater man must show his value to the team by his team work, co-opera- tion, leadership, natural ability, and aggressive- ness. Willis Car- roll was all of these combined and was there- fore chosen by his team mates to wear the hon- orary sweater. Carroll has held down a regular position for the last two years, and because of his star play- ing of the first year he was a marked man this season. Despite this, he again led the Norsemen and was the shining light of the team. He can either run, pass, or punt, and was the leading scorer of the team, collecting four touchdowns and passing for the extra points. It is easy to say that he is one of the greatest football players ever to graduate from H. H. S., and he will be sadly missed when the call for football is made next fall. wiins carroii December, 1930 Page Twenty-One
