Events of the year were: an extem- poraneous speech contest at Riley in which Ben Garrison took third place, a round table discussion at Mishawaka, an after dinner speech contest at the Morningside Hotel in South Bend where Ben Garrison took first place and Norma Stanton tied for second, and finally a series of debates. The topic of the series was: “Resolved: That a federal world government should be established.” Central won the de- bate contest, while Mishawaka tied for second place.

Mish- awaka took first place, however, in the Rotary discussion contest at Washington High School on the subject: “Youth Looks at Peace.” Mr. Hall, the capable coach, led the team through a very successful season. Prospects for the coming year look exceedingly good for the only star debater who will retire is Ben Garrison who is leaving for college. Not connected with regular debate activity, was the American Legion oratorical contest on the subject “The Peace Makers.’ Walter Kiro- cofe, a member of the debate team, took first place and Maxine McClure second. Walter's speech also won the county contest.
