Debate Club The session of 1946-47 brought praise and honorable mention to the Mathews Debating Club. Long will the nights of writing and rehearsing of speeches be remembered by members of the De¬ bate Club. “Work, but fun and worth it, wasn ' t it, Pal?” Besides being fun the club endeavors to train students for public speaking and debating. Our debaters will long be remembered for their wonderful work in the Literary and Fornsic meet which was held here early this spring. Who knows, but what Margaret Thomas may be one of our future lawyers. While speaking of the fornsic meet, we must not forget the assistance given by our sponsor. Miss Foster, who worked so faithfully with the affirmative team and Miss Callis, who coached the negative debators. Without their guidance our teams could not have received the honors which they did. Their guidance and assistance meant a great deal and when our teams were standing in the spotlight, shaking in their shoes, they knew Miss Callis and Miss Foster were in the audience rooting for them. Every moment was fun and it is very disap¬ pointing to know that there will be no more de¬ bates from these students for they are all Seniors. Chairman . Business Manager Secretary . Sponsor .
