 HyiipAegj Inter Scholastic Contests The debating and declamation contest was held at Main Avenue and was one that will always he remembered as the most exciting of events. It was particularly thrilling because we had for our opponent a most worthy one, Brackenridge. The girls declamation and hoys debate were set for the afternoon. Brackenridge filed in and occupied their alloted space. Main did the same. Pandemonium reigned. Brackenridge cheered, then Main out cheered them. Mr. Johnston, principal of B. H. S. introduced the speakers. Miss Leona Bridge. Main’s representative, was the first speaker. From the minute she stepped upon the platform, the atmosphere was one of breathless suspense. We knew she would win. But Brackenridge was also backing her declamer, Miss Dorothy Cooper. The boys debate came next. Main was represented by Mr. Milton Schneider and Carl Evans who supported the negative side of the question “Resolved. That a movement for an open shop in Texas subserves the best interests of the State and should be supported by public opinion”, while the affirmative was upheld by Mr. Roland Voight and Julius Nafach of Brackenridge. The contest was soon over and the “honorable judges” as Carl so often addressed them, rendered their decisions in favor of Main’s representative in declamation, Miss Bridge, and Brackenridge in debate. The boys declamation and girls debate were held that night. Mr. Oscar McCracken and Murrell Stockton of Main and Brackenridge were the contestants in declamation. Miss I)ama Jones and Anita Brenner of Main Avenue upheld the negative side of the same question that had been debated in the afternoon. The affirmative was supported by Miss Winifred Schuetz and Miss Kathleen Thompson. That debate was a thing of beauty and therefore as Keats says, “A joy forever”. Dama with her dignity and Anita with her pep made a perfect team. The judges gave their decision in favor of our girl debaters and Mr. Stockton of Brackenridge in declamation. This decision left Main and Brackenridge “even”. The honors were divided equally in favor of Main’s GIRLS and Brackenridge’s boys. The district meet was held in San Marcos. Main was represented by Miss Leona Bridge in declamation and Miss Dama Jones and Anita Brenner in debate. Even though Leona lost, her efforts were not wasted as she will probably declaim next year and win. Dama and Anita debated the teams from Staples and Luling and after two rather hotly contested debates, beat them both. —25—
