Qfivie UITE as important as our athletic battles are our word battles. Montrose High School had a very good debating team this year. Under the guidance of Miss Jones and Miss DeWeese they won the first two elemination debates and lost the championship by being defeated by Susquehanna. VVe have high hopes of next year's teams bringing home the cup. The first debate was held at Montrose on December 18th, Mont- rose and Hallstead being participants. The question decided was :- Resolved, That a separate aviation department be created by Congress with a secretary in the cabinet. The Hallstead team composed of Her- bert Peck, Ruth Maloney, Clare Jones, and Lyons Peck, alternate, up- held the affirmative side. The Montrose team composed of Delbert Corwin, Doris Palmer, Edwin Dayton, and Lewis Dayton, alternate, up- held the negative. The judges, Rev. Helsman, of Nicholson, F. D. Myers, a science teacher in the Nicholson High School, and L. T. Orner, principal of the Nicholson High School, decided in favor of Montrose. The second debate, on the same question, was held at Dimock on February 16th. The personnel of the Dimock team follows : Mary Williams, Violet LaRue, George Heitsman and Cecil Purkis, alternate. Due to the absence of Doris Palmer, our alternate, Lewis Dayton took her place. The judges were Rev. O. B. Young, of Fairdaleg J. D. Morgan, superintendent of schools in Wyoming county, and N. H. Wil- marth, of New Milford. Again Montrose was victorious. The third debate with Susquehanna for the championship was held at Montrose on April 23. The question was : Resolved, That the United States shall join the League of Nations. Our team had the af- firmative side. On the Susquehanna team were Miller Perry, Evelyn DeWitt, Dorothy Lewis, and Frederick Brush, as alternate. The judges were Rev. C. H. Newing, of Tunkhannockg Professor C. E. Jewell, of Tunkhannock, and Dr. Frank McGuire, of East Stroudsburg. They decided in favor of the negative, thus giving the championship of the county to Susquehanna. -EDITCR.
