THE CHRONICLE 27 DEBATE Resolved, That federal aid should be granted for the equalization of educational opportunities was the subject for debate at an auditorium program on January 19. The affirmative team included Harriet Gelblum, Marion Austin, and Gilbert Kelman; the negative, Barbara Bradshaw, Ralph Ferraro, and Beatrice Bordeleau. The judges, Mr. Hall, Mr. Malmquist, and Mr. Shultz, decided in favor of the affirmative side. Morris Gelblum, president of the Debating Club, was the presiding officer; William Taylor, timekeeper; and Stanley Tanger, usher. During the five minutes' intermission for rebuttal, William Gadd played two piano selections entitled Waltz in E Minor by Chopin and Concert Etude in F Major by Mac Dowell. Annaline Conway, ’41 BETTY ROBINSON Betty Robinson, typical American girl and world champion in the 1928 Olympics, related her experiences as an athlete at the auditorium program on January 26. She told in detail of her running during high-school days, her victorious race in Amsterdam, the airplane accident that kept her from entering the 1932 Olympics, and her triumph in overcoming her physical handicaps, so that she made the women’s relay team, which won in the 1936 Olympics in Germany. With such a marvelous record as a background she is looking forward to the Olympics in 1940 in Finland.

The sophomore, junior, and senior representatives each won two games while losing one. The luckless freshman “five lost all three of its games. In the opening games of the season the juniors easily conquered the freshmen while the sophomores were upsetting a highly favored senior team. The second week found the seniors trouncing the freshmen and the juniors defeating the sophomores in tIk final minutes of the game. Coming along nicely, the freshmen offered plenty of opposition before being subdued by the sophomores in the first game of the third week's competition. In the second contest the seniors clearly outclassed the juniors. The teams in the league have been play ing a good brand of ball with the evenness of the teams resulting in the tie. Although the freshmen did not win a game in the first round, they have been play ing better every week and will oiler plenty of opposition in the second round. Robert Thompson, ’39 GIRLS’ SPORTS The sophomores are taking the lead in the basketball line-up, with the juniors next, followed by the seniors.

The bowling has been very good this year with many new-comers. The girls have finished one round and have started on their second with new averages. The following are the averages of the girls:
