Perhaps the greatest progress made by the Debating Society this year was the establishment of closer relationships between the Boys' and Girls' Schools. Two formal and several impromptu de- bates between them were the means of doing so. Strangely enough, the success of the debate be- tween mixed teams was somewhat impaired by the failure of the teammates to get together, an unheard-of complication. An unusually active Third Class was responsible for a greater participation in tournaments than we've had in several years. Nearly all of these tournaments were sponsored by the National Forensic League, the topic being the same in each: Resolved: That the essential features of the British system of education should be adopted in the United States. One of the biggest problems hindering even more activity in tournament competition is that of athletics, since nearly every Saturday there is a Varsity contest. It seems insoluble from the point of view of increased success, but there is an oppor- tunity for third classmen to gain a great deal of experience. In dual competition, the team beat Noble and Greenough and Winsor, while losing to Roxbury Latin. The growing success and popularity of the Society are due to the tireless efforts of Mr. Norris.
