THE NEWTONIAN DEBATING At the beginning of the school term, it was thought it a good idea to form a “Debating Club”. Each room of the Grade XI’s elected a re¬ presentative and the teachers elected a committee. At the first meeting, a debate was suggested between Rooms 20 and 17. The topic was “Should the City of Winnipeg take over the Winnipeg Electric as a Public Util¬ ity?” Jack Flom and Sylvia Leven- thal had the affirmative while Joe Granda had to defend the negative alone. The decision was in favor of the affirmative. At the next meeting it was sug¬ gested that short five-minute speeches should take the place of debates. The speakers were Mabel Thorgeirson, Polly Nazer, Sam Smith, and Laur¬ ence Kolisnyk. Later on, another debate was stag¬ ed, between Rooms 5 and 8. The topic was “The Depression has im¬ proved the character of the Canadian people.” Room 5 defended the af¬ firmative, the debaters being Esther Cooper and Mary Kupski. The nega¬ tive was taken by Room 8, whose de¬ baters were Edna Ingram and Olga Chichochi. The judges ' decision was in favor of the affirmative. In order to close the term with eclat it was suggested that the two successful teams debate against each other—Rooms 5 and 17. The topic was selected but as yet the contest¬ ants have not been able to agree upon a date.

36 THE NEWTONIAN THE JUNIOR TRAMP On Saturday, March 9, the junior students of the I. N. H. School held their annual tramp. Despite the heavy snowfall there was present a large and representative gathering of teachers and students. The hikers in their tramping outfits met at the school at 7.30 o’clock, and, led by Mr. Sisler (principal), Miss Neil and Mr. Bowman, tramped north to Ink¬ ster Boulevard, thence to McPhillips Street, and returned by several dif¬ ferent routes. The mischief-makers took great delight in snowballing and pitching their fellow students into snowbanks. The school yell rent the air from time to time. Though all were enjoying themselves, the tired trampers welcomed the signal to re¬ turn to the school. In the auditorium hot dogs, coffee, peanuts, and Coca Cola were served to the hungry hikers. After the re¬ freshments four groups of students added to the general entertainment by putting on stunts, all of which were exceptionally good. Mr. Sisler and Miss McCrum, the adjudicators, awarded first prize to a group of boys from Rooms 3, 12 and 14. Sec¬ ond prize went to a group of girls from Rooms 4, 6, and 7. At 12 o’clock the students wended their way homeward. All were tired but well pleased with the tramp, re¬ freshments and stunts. Thus ended one of the most successful , junior tramps ever held.
