Very few people realize the hard work and intensive training necessary for a successful debate team. To intelligently debate a subject, a great deal of information must be obtained on the subject debated and then a certain degree of skill in presenting these facts must be attained. Coupling these factors with a knowledge of debate tactics and strategy we have the recguisites for a good debate team. Mr. l-lorn, coach of debate, in his first year here at Iefferson, trained a group of students only one of whom had had previous debating ex- perience, and this group, by taking a keen interest in their activity, were able to win the championship of this district. They then lost a close decision to Frank- fort in the zone debates. During the regular season, 33 debates were scheduled. Of these leff won 3U and lost 3. Highlights of the season were the Annual Debate Conference at Purdue, the Invitational Tournament at Anderson, and of course the district and zone tour- naments in which left participated. The question adopted by the Indiana State Debate League as a basis for this year's discussion was: Resolved, That the Federal Government should adopt the policy of egualizing educational opportunity throughout the nation by means of annual grants to the several states for public elementary and second- ary education, Upholding the affirmative side of this question for lefferson were Bob Lawson, George Kaplan, and George W, Smith. Taking the opposing view were Dean Lewis, Hayden Meeker, and Ioe Longden on the negative team. Gene Pechin proved a great asset to both teams by serving as silent alternate. A tremendous volume of work was also done by Annabelle Iones, debate sec- retary, who transferred information from articles in newspapers and magazines to cards which were indexed and filed. At the end of the season the debaters were awarded sweaters. I 1
