JUN-Eg e commgwosn lose for the second debate, December 12. Lincoln lost to this championship team, 3-O. Changing sides, Lincoln affirmative, lost to Rose- ville negative, January 20, 2-l. Then coming back home, they defeated East Detroit, 3-O in the last of the four preliminary debates. However, Lincoln found it necessary to play off a third place tie with Roseville, the two teams each having 9 points. A critic judge awarded the decision to Lincoln, thus gaining for the team the right to enter the elimin- ation series meeting Plymouth, February 19, 1936. A strong Plymouth team defeated Lincoln, automatically dropping our team from the race. The Lincoln team composed of the same three members all season, deserves real credit for the excellent showing it made. With the able training of Kiss Isbell, the team brought home the honors in the form of our first wall plaque for excellence in debating. THANKS - IISS ISBELL The members of the team wish to express their gratitude and appreciation to Miss Ruth Isbell, their coach. It was due to har earnest and sincere belief that Lincoln produced a championship team that made the results of the season so gratifying. lisa Isbell deserves real praise for her work as debate coach.
