“A” DEBATE DEBATE S. Forman, P. Reiners, J. Miller, R. Sackreiter. The experienced debate team enjoyed a successful season this year, bringing home their share of honors. They performed at seven tournaments and brought home the Northeast Conference Tournament trophy. The debaters also won their way to the State Tournamest by beating Watertown at the Divisional Contest. The experienced debaters were Judy Miller, Phyllis Reiners, Ruth Sackreiter, Susan Forman, and Colleen Dockter. In the inexperienced debate field, the team had the opportunity to attend four tournaments. Although they didn’t win the top honors, they worked hard and did quite well, the names of the inexperienced debaters will be found beneath their picture. “B” DEBATE Seated at table: C. Dockter, S.

This contest is a yearly project which gives the student a chance to do a little serious thinking about the country we live in. Carol Hendrick won the State Tuberculosis Essay Contest, which gave us a little insight into the problem of tuberculosis treatment and cure. The American Legion Oratory contest was won by Judy Miller. The subject was the U. S. Constitution, another subject giving us a good look at the meaning of being an American. 20
