Although the team was not able to go on to the state tournament, it, nevertheless, topped last year's record. Then, too, our .. ,, - V - - never-to-be-forgotten fire proved quite a handicap when it burned all the newly arrived l debate material, compelling the try-outs to be postponed till Christmas. l The team chosen to represent Marshfield beat last year's record because it was so 1 ably assisted by two veterans from last year, who, remarkably, had escaped the dangers 1 of vacation and were back again when school started. For, though ancient in experience, 1 they were still too young to graduate. These veterans, to satisfy your curiosity, were l Donald Hoerl and Herbert Gripentrog. When comparing them with the remainder of , the team, the rest were, ou mi ht sa , 'ust amachoors. Individuall , however, the W - Y u 8 Y l A A I Y team came throu h with fl in colors, and all did 'ustice to their uidin lodestar, Miss D B hh b g Y g 1 g S ac u er. E For . . . . . your benefit and knowledge, the speakers will be listed in the order in which B they spoke. On the affirmative team were Ramona Lucdtke, Ruby Schuette, and Herbert Gripentrogg on the negative were Inez Lindow, Donald Hoerl, and Steve Lewis. Alter- A nates were Ellen Olson and Shirley Finucane. T Port Edwards and Chippewa Falls came to Marshfield for non-decision debates. Later our teams made trips to Medford and Chippewa Falls for other practice debates. Because E Chippewa Falls had previously opposed the Marshheld team, our team met Bloomer there instead. The season was brought to a close February 13, at the tournament at Stevens Point. There the team placed over eleven other teams and by a few points narrowly missed going on to the state tournament. The afhrmative team came through with a loss and a victory winning over Park Falls and losing to Merrill. The negative team did likewise, losing to Wittenberg and winning over Wisconsin Rapids. Exactly half of the team will graduate this year leaving Ruby Schuette, Ramona Luedtke, and Donald Hoerl to try their hands at being veterans next year. 48

This first meeting was held in the form of an initiation party during which entertainment was furnished and refreshments served. The Latin Club is ll society composed of twenty-six Latin students who have received at least a B average in that subject. The chief aim of the Club is to study Roman life and the customs of the Roman people. The meetings, which are held monthly, are very interesting. At these meetings, Latin topics are given, games are played, and modern songs are sung in Latin. The annual banquet, which was held in May in the form of A Roman banquet, was the most important event of the clubls activities. 50
