ID IE IBPHVII N CE I This year many people went out for debating. After a few tryouts, Vaughn Hummel, Frances Drake, Ruth Root, and Peg Donavin were chosen to repre- sent Monroe: High School in this activity. The question for debate Was: Resolved, That a Judge or Board of Judges be substituted for the Jury in all cases in the State and Municipal Courts of Michigan. After a few premilinary workouts, practice debates were held with ofut-of- city teams. On November 14, the Hrst debate of the season was held at Adrian with our team upholding the negative side. Adrian Was given a unanimous decision. On December 5, the first home debate was held in the High School Auditorium with Ann Arbor. The Monroe team again upheld the negative side and the decision was unanimous for Ann Arbor. On January 9, the team upheld the afiirmative side and lost to Birmingham by a unanimous decision. In the last debate, against St. Anthony of Detroit, Monroe again lost by a unan- imous decision. Even though We didn't Win any debates this year we are hoping to have better luck next year, as three of this year's debators will be with us again next year. Much credit should be given to Mr. Willis, the coach, for the great amount of time which he spent with the team. 60
