During the past few years, an elaborate system of fostering Basketball enthusiasm and spirit among the students in the school has been followed and this year the fruits of these years have been realized. Our team needs no added praise. lt has been praised and re-praised in the minds of everyone, cheered and re-cheered on the basketball floor, and nothing we could add here would add to its reputation and honor. its record is not so flourishing, but better than average: First place in the Roseville regional tournament. A victory over East Peoria in the Sectional Tournament was one of its greatest accomplishments. Manual overcame our team in the second round and so ended a glorious season. To this imposing array of first in the regional tournament, add individual vic- tories, seventeen, to individual defeats, eleven. This is one of the classiest teams Macomb has produced for some time.

The purpose of the National Forensic League is to stimulate interest in debate and oratory by offering definite and suitable recognition for successful participation in those activities. lts next purpose is to induce more students to enter these worthwhile activities. With a deiinite, tangible reward to work for it will follow that more students will enter tnese contests than there would if no recognition were offered. The realization of this pur- pose has been demonstrated by the number of chapters reporting two and even three times as many students trying out for forensic events. lts further purpose is to keep active the interest of the students who have taken part in debate and oratory and to urge them on to greater attainments. This is accomplished by awarding Degrees with special privileges. By always having new honors to earn the student will not be likely to cease his efforts as soon as member- ship and the key have been attained, but press on for further accomplishments. The National Forensic League does not interfere in any way with local forensic contests. Each Chapter is entirely free to ar- range its own debates and continue present relations with its neighboring schools and with its State association. The students of Macomb l-ligh School holding National Forensic honors are: Degree of Merit: Richard Cook Harold Morrow Hoyt Rawlings Marjorie Brittain Degree of Honor: lames Patterson Degree of Excellence: Madge Crone At the end of this school year there undoubtedly will be more students eligible for membership and advaiced degrees. -mf Page 23 NATIONAL FORENSIC LEAGUE
