THE STUDENTS' ASSOCIATION The push, the pull, and the go in Manistique High School are due to the efficiency of our Students' Association. The association with an enroll- ment of about two hundred sixty members supervises all the activities un- dertaken during the school year. During the present school year the association completed an extensive and the successful football, basketball, and debating schedule, and provided the city of Manistique with a high class Lecture Course. The association, at the time this annual goes to press, is arrar.fging for one of the best base- ball schedules ever undertaken by M. H. S. It has also for the first time in this history of the school signed up to send a typewriting and short- hand team to Esicanaba to compete with teams from high schools all over the U. P. in a district contest. Winners from this contest go to the State Contest at Kalamazoo. The officers of the association are elected at the beginning of each se- mester. The credit for most of the things accomplished by the associa- tion during the ensuing semester is due to the officers. The following oiiicers were elected at the beginning of this semester: BOARD OF CONTROL President - ----- Arthur Adams Vice-President ---- Bethel Klagstad Secretary - - - Ruth Bundy Treasurer - - - Gunnar Carlson Girls' Representative - Agnes Scott Boys' Representative William Marin Coach - - - - - Guy V.

l DEBATES OF 1921 In the fall of 1920, for the second time in its his-tory, Manistique High School entered the Michigan Debating Leagu-e. According to rules set by the League every school entering must debate the same question which was: Resolved: That the adjustment of disputes between Employes and Employers be made a part of the Administration of Justice. After a preliminary contest the following were chosen: Dorothy Hovey, William Marin and Bonnie Cameron, with Iva Burns as alternate. On December 3, 1920, we were scheduled to debate Munising at their school, Munising supporting the aflirmative and Manistique the negative. Owing to the fact that neither school was prepared, the debate was called off. On January 7, 1921, we were to have debated at Stambaugh, again supporting the negative, but Stambaugh's debaters were not prepared, so they forfeited the debate, thereby making us the winners. Then on January 21, 1921, M. H. S. had her first actual debate which was with Iron Mountain. The M. H. S. debaters had to turn to the afiir- mative side, making it just a little harder for them to debate. The Iron Mountain team, consisting of two boys and one girl, was one of the strong- est teams in the U. P., having before they came to M. H. S. won two other debates both times supporting the negative side. Although Manistique tfried hard to win the debate, the judges who gave the decision in favor of Iron Mountain awarded it rightly, for with excellent voices, good dc- livery and strongly presented arguments, it was only right that the visit- ing team should win.
