Q8 THE REVIEW A S g f jack Winterbottom tart Ing lscovery NE night, about two years ago, I was visiting my old aunt at her ancient castle in Corn- wall. As she was very old-fashioned, she had retired early, leaving me to amuse myself till bed-time. Accordingly, I sat down in an easy chair before the fireplace, and began to read. The old castle had quite a history, and the musty old volume which I was reading was an account of its checkered career. After reading for about an hour, I came to a part about some jewelry which was supposed to be hidden in the castle. It seemed that a distant ancestor of mine had occupied the castle some hundreds of years before, and that he had amassed a huge fortune. A few years after retiring from public life, he became somewhat deranged, and had shut himself and his treasure up in the castle. He disappeared not long afterwards however, and the folk round about concluded that he was dead. Neither his treasure nor his body were found. As I read this story, I began to feel rather nervous and shaky. However, I was too inter- ested to stop reading, so I read on far into the night. In fact, when I rose to go to my room, I was severely startled by the booming of the old grandfather clock striking twelve. I soon pulled myself together, and putting the book away, I started through the library which led to the stair- case. The whole castle was in darkness and it was some time before I at last found what I thought was the door-knob, but which was really one of the decorations on the wall. As I turned this knob, I was dimly conscious that the supposed door opened with unusual ease. Thinking nothing of this, however, I proceeded through it, but had hardly taken live steps whenAcrash! I tripped over a hard object and went clattering to the bottom of a long stairway. The object over which To Beauty O11 ,ve assenzbloge of groves Tflllf fl-Vf7lI0lfSL' llze soul of man, Ya' properties 'ZL'llI.t'll do romnzond The Hflflfllflllfllllll of the senses t'onrz'aI your rlzormg mask yourself ' 771011, try lo fast o spell of magic Upon ilu' llearl QI' man . 1 Your art is unazvoidable, I had stumbled, had rolled down the stairs with me, and I was then tangled up in what appeared to be a lot of loose pieces of wood. On getting to my feet, I struck a match, and by its feeble glow I saw at my feet what looked like a pile of rods or poles. Taking a piece of paper from my pocket, I lighted it and looked more closely at the object at my feet. Suddenly I realized what it was and recoiled in horror from the gruesome object. It was a skeleton. Like a shot I was on my feet and up the stairs. I rushed through the open door and reached the scullery at the rear of the old castle before my fears subsided. Here I stopped and, collecting my scattered wits, I went- upstairs to my room and got my flashlight. I then wakened my aunt, and together we returned to the strange door. This time I saw that a panel in the wall was opened and closed by the knob on the wall, which I had turned. On reaching the bottom of the stair, we passed through a long corridor and came at last to a large room. Lighting up the wall of the room with my flashlight, we could see several large chests piled up against it. We went over to one of them and cautiously opened it. We were imme- diately struck dumb with amazement at the sight which met our eyes. The chests were filled to the brim with jewels! Returning to our bedrooms, we attempted to get what sleep we could, which was Very little, and next morning we summoned historical experts to the castle. They were taken to the treasure chamber, where they identified the jewels as my ancestor's treasure. They also identified the skeleton as that of my ancestor who had evidently been trapped in his own treasure-room. The jewels amounted to a huge fortune, which was sufficient to keep my aunt and me for the rest of our days. . : Virginia lnlcsater I do not disapprove of your 'influence Your fatal lure 'is to be envied. Al a glance toward yon, one experiences A feeling of enchantment, On perreiving further, yon are examined, And the gaze is enthralled with fascinationg So, resume your graceful art, charming one And may you profil by your infatuation! 1

30 Tl-lE REVIEW DEBATING AND GIQATCRY , E..g..,a..i,... Philosophers 'were able to hear each other thinking all day long, or making speeches to each other and these were the pleasantest sounds they knew of. -James Stephens. W. O. S. S. A. DEBATES CENTRAL COLLEGIATE has passed through a glorious 1933-34 Wlossa debating year. Under the very capable coaching of Miss XVyatt and Miss Thom- son Central has again distinguished her- self in the Wlossa circles. The girls' debating team bestowed great honour upon Central by capturing the VVoman's Club Shield. Not since 1924 has this highly sought after prize been presented to our school. Let us hope that we shall be seeing this prize often on the walls of our Library. The first debate was against Alma College. Helen Higgins and Alberta Letts represented us in Alma while Helen O'Neill and Elizabeth Harvey remained at home. This debate resulted in one win for Alma and one for Central. In the next debate with Sarnia, Central again scored a win and a loss. In Sarnia, Anne Walden and Isobel Younge upheld the affirmative while Beryl Shuttleworth and Marion McNaughton stayed at home. In the final and most important debate, Central had once more as her opponent Alma College. The debaters in the finals were: Away-Alberta Letts, Marion Mc- Naughton. Home-Anne Walden, Helen Higgins. The topic of this debate con- cerned state medicine and free hospitaliza- tion. The strong arguments, enthusiastic and convincing manner of all the debaters held the interest of the large audience. Once more the result was a win for both Central and Alma. The outcome of the series was decided on points and Central won by the close margin of 12 points. Alma is to be congratulated on being such a close winner and honour is given to the brilliant team-work of the Girls' debating team. The boys in their Wossa debating series were formidable contenders for the trophy but lost out by a very small mar- gin. The first debate with Sarnia re- sulted in a win and a loss. Bob Lackie and Fred Brown composed our team which scored a success in Sarnia. Al Goldberg and Frank Dowler held their own at home. In the next debate Bob Syrett and Sam Courtney supplied a win against Kitchener and john Hunt and Barry Hunt lost out at home. In the final debate with Chat- ham there were two losses but in one of these two debates the difference between a loss and a win was one point. Bill Mc- Leod, Al Goldberg, John Hunt and Fred Brown were our representatives in this round. All credit is due to the entire team for their excellent showing in the VVossa Series. This term two debates have been con- tested. In the first one, the girls de- bated with St. Thomas Collegiate. The subject concerned the effect of moving pictures on moral health. In St. Thomas, Christine Bell and Frances Ivison argued the demoralizing effect of movies and won their argument. At home Barbara Moriss and Esther Ginsberg were defeated by St. Thomas in trying to establish their argument. The boys' debate was against Kitchener. In this debate Central also had a success and a loss. VVilson Reason and Stewart Miller debated in Kitchener. Jim Orr and Leslie Wheable won at home. The subject was whether or not it would be advantageous to Canada and New- foundland if Newfoundland joined the Confederation The best of success to this year's debating teams and may the best team win. fDare we hope that Central's teams may be the bestilj. ORATORY Central's oratorical representatives, al- though not successful in the Wossa city contest, certainly acquitted themselves in an excellent manner. The final contest- ants were chosen by elimination contests. In selecting the winners to represent Central, impromptu speeches were in- I is l l DEBATI NG EKECUTI VE 1'E:tln:r Gin-herg, Rl iss Thomson, Barbara Morris, Daniel Kennedy Leslie NYhcablc. Robert Lackie. Miss XVyatt. troduced for the first time. Helen Higgins was chosen as Senior Girls representative, her subject being- Soviet Russia. Al- berta Letts was runner-up. Who is the patriot? was Shirley Shoebottom's topic. Margaret McQueen was second in this Junior Girls' division. In the boys' contests, Kingsley Vogan was the Junior representative speaking on The Careless Driver. Leslie Wheable was the second winner. Sam Courtney with the subject The Canadian Senate , spoke for Central in the Senior boys division. Lorne Sparks was runner-up. All these speakers are to be commended for their splendid oratory. The impromp- tu speeches both in the Central and Wossa contests were very well done. We must remind our speakers, however, not to make any mention of the school they are representing, in these unprepared talks. Our friendly rival, the Beck Collegi- ate, was indeed fortunate to capture three of the four prizes. Congratulations! SCHOOL DEBATING The rising popularity of the Debating Club has now made this society one of the more important organizations in the school. This club has made the school debate conscious as is shown by the large attendance at the meetings. Several interesting and humorous debates were sponsored by the club. Such subjects as It is more expensive to bring up a boy to the age of 21 than it is to bring up a girl to the age of 21. Resolved-That the speed laws of Ontario should be abolished -were very keenly debated. Perhaps the most interesting meeting of the past year took the forrn of a mock trial which concerned a damage suit re- sulting from an accident in which injuries were received by a young woman in a motor car. After severe gruelling of the witnesses and when all evidence had been brought forward, the attorneys burst into oratorical brilliance and left their varied impressions upon the jury. The sum of 31,086 was awarded to the young woman in order to console her for injuries which hindered her from playing the zither. What with the excitement of the first year debating tournament and Wossa debating, the executive for this year was not elected until late in October. They hope to make up for lost time, however, and are planning two meetings this term -one a free for all debate on whether experience from people or experience from books is more useful, and a mock trial. The executive for this year's de- bating club is: President, Bob Lackieg Secretary, Esther Ginsbergg Treasurer, Barbara Morissp Leslie Wheable, David Kennedy.
