THE ANNUAL LLOYD CUP DEBATE The annual debate for the Lloyd Debating Cup was held in the Gym, March Q. The question was ,as follows: Resolved: That the Ship Subsidy Bill now before Congress, should be passed. The usual interest in the debate was strengthened by the interest in this question as one of national importance. No boasts can be made as to attendance, for the front of the floor of the Gym alone was fillcdg but the school has a right to be proud when it turns out debaters such as those speaking that evening. The team defending the affirmative was made up of Cecilie Glidden and VVillia1n Negus. This team brought forward economic, political and financial reasons for the adoption of the bill, and clinched the matter with good delivery. The opposing force was made up of Ruth Burnor and Roy McHenry. Although the delivery of this team as a whole was not as good as their opponents', their argu- mentation was excellent. How closely matched the two teams were may be seen from the final results in which the affirmative led the negative by ten points, 1370-1360. Ruth Burnor secured the most votes, and Cecilie Glidden came a close second. Taken every way, the Lloyd Cup Debate for the year 1923 was a close test of the debaters, abilities. 27

Ke-alo-ha fThe Lovej The Little sister of the Princess, who has adopted her. Chorus of Hawaiin maidens. The curtain rises on the feast of Laka, the celebration held each year in memory of the Great Storm, when the Ghosts of Hilo saved the inhabitants of the island from destruction. On this night the Little Sister was found in the glen, with a small druin tied securely to her. This drum she has kept with her constantly ever sinceg and as Ma-il-e has not been able to gain control over the Little Sister, she believes the cause of it to be some mysterious power of the little drum. On this night of the feast of Laka, Ma-il-e finally breaks the drumg within it a letter is found, written by the Little Sister's father, King Hana-kah, just before his boat sank at sea. This clears up the mystery of the Little Sisters identity , and everyone is happy as the curtain falls. Between acts, the Boy's Glee Club gave a couple of Hawaiian songs, and Lawrence Armstrong sang a solo. This was the first time the boys had made a public appearance, but judging from the hearty applause the audience gave them the practice they have had brought some fine results. 26
