Debate has become one of the leading High School activities. The purpose of introducing debating contests into high schools is to train the students to be able to put their thoughts into words and to express their ideas in a way that shows the public that they are really receiving some benefit from a high school education. Most people feel rather dumfounded and ignorant When they are called upon to address the public for their hrst time. Unless this queer sensation is overcome during school days, what are the pupils going to do when necessity in life calls upon them to appear before the public? What good does it do for the students to have their minds crammed full of knowledge, unless they are able to express themselves for the benefit of others? The public is taking great interest in high school debate, in the league as well as in the tryouts, and only upeto-date questions which are of interest to the public are discussed. At the beginning of the school term of 1911 and 1912 circum- stances seemed to indicate that Junction City High School would make a good showing in the league debate. This statement can be indorsed by the fact that out of an enrollment of seventy-five pupils, forty-four took part in the tryout, with the proper high school spirit. It would have been imlpossible for the judges to listen to all these young orators one evening, as well as very difficult to make choice of four to represent the High School in the league debates Which were coming. So the tryout was held on the three even- ings of December 11th, 12th and 13th. The judges, Mr. A. J. Mickey, Dr. Hicks, and Rev. Knotts, were instructed to make a choice of twelve out of the forty-four. The questions debated, and those taking part in each, were as follows: ' Resolved, That Governor Westis prison policy is benehcial to the public. Affirmative, Gertrude Thompson, Anna McFarland, Gertrude Sanders and Sam Sheldt. Negative, Harold Edwards, Thelma Hughs, William Harper, and Mabel Gadke. Resolved, That newspapers aid in the spread of crime. Affir- mative, Martel Mickey and James Washburne. Negative, John Cal- vert and Thomas Barker. :lllltftk , f1 ,3'4' can he! ha3ZM. w. h$ . h at l JJPQQ: H..!l a '
