National forensic question, Resolved: The powers of the federal government should be increased, offered to novice and ad- vanced debaters unlimited opportunities to dissect administrative policies, to analyze and think quickly and clearly, and to speak fluently. Under the supervision of Glenn Parker, debate coach, the Kearney high debaters finished a successful season of interscholas- tic speaking. At their own individual tourn- ament, the Kearneyites, with jaws well lubri- cated, won a higher percentage ot their de- bates than any other school. Betty Grosh and Alan Carlson entered into semi-final competition at Midland. ln the district tourney held at Hastings, they lost to Holdrege and North Platte, but not before winning ll of the 16 rounds in which they were entered.
