State Debate Championship ESOLVED, that the several states should adopt the unicameral system of legislature, was the national debate question for 1937-1938. After winning the district championship in which Bluffton, Eort Recovery, and Troy participated, our team was ready for interdistrict competi- tion. This competition was provided by Lima South, and Fremont. Our team was victorious in each debate. Lima Central was now ready to claim statewide laurels. On March 10, Virginia Byrd and Edward Eoster defeated Maple Heights, a suburb of Cleveland. At Ohio State University on March 18, after winning the semi-finals from Salem High School debate team the day before, Virginia Byrd and Edward Eoster won the state debate championship from Kent. As a reward for all their brilliant orations they received a cup for winning the interdistrict contest plus another cup -for being the best debate team in the state of Ohio. Orchids to Virginia Byrd, Edward Poster, and Jim Sweger. Special recognition should be given to Mr. Boylan, head debate coach and Mrs. Pence, and Miss Howey, his very able assistants. -PAUL YANT eighty
