SCHOLARSHIP CONTEST For the fii-st time in the history of Champaign county, a scholarship contest was held in Urbana on March 23, 1929. All the schools in the county participated in the contest. Not more than two contestants were allowed to enter in any one subject. The subjects were: Algebra I, 9th grade pupils; Plane Geometry, 10 grade pupils; Bi- ology, 10th or 11th grade pupil; Latin I, 9th grade pupils; Latin II, 10th grade pupils; Civics, 11th or 12th grade pupil; American History, 11th grade pupils; English I, 9th grade pupil; English II, 10th grade pupils; English and American Literature, 11th or 12th grade pupil. A certificate was awarded to the winners of each subject from the county; the winners of the county went to the district and the winners of the district went to the state contest. TRIP TO COLUMBUS The Democracy class took an educational trip to Columbus to get some first hand information upon some of the state institutions located there. The trip was made in the following order on schedule time: Cpurt House, State Library, Assembly Hall, Educational Offices of Ohio, Ohio Penitentiary, Feeble Minded Institution and the Ohio State Univer- sity. We returned home very tired in the evening, but felt our time well spent. DEBATE Debate was started in St. Paris by Mr. E. L. Harshbarger with the class of ’26. Three schools, Mechanicsburg, North Lewisburg and St. Paris foriyied a triangular debate on the question—“Should the Philip- pines have their Independence?” The following year, class ’27 under the direction of A.

Mr. Turner has charge of these meetings. Sometimes there are frequent visits and talks given by outside talent. This year we have had an innoviation—the Hi-Y, Juniors, Seniors, Sophomores and Freshmen gave various programs throughout the year. These were immensely enjoyed by all. WEINER ROAST The entire high school enjoyed a weiner roast at Apples woods on September 28. The Freshies were initiated by being compelled to carry the fire wood. After the stock of refreshments had been exhausted they stood around the fire and sang the high school song. 54
