3111 illiemnrg Rebate QNVN the unyielding path of time Vtfe plod, nor pause to hear the song Of men who've made their lives sublime By doing deeds and righting wrongs, That to their spheres belong. NDURE the scorn and sneers of man, Let all your deeds reveal pure thoughts, Let upright minds and honest hands Strive on, nor cease to make their works A blessing to mankind. EGIN each day with deeds worth while: VVork at the task from morn till night, For cheerful minutes, filled with smiles, Create a soul with a crown so bright Its glory Hoods the World. T last in spite of toil and pain, In spite of failures and rebuffsg Vtfith tumbling hands we strive again To make a man from the worn out dust- Of him who was crushed down. IME and eternity, dimmed with age, What gifts have you in store for us? Have you some mockery, harsh and mean Or empty dreams of worldly lust, To whom the earth bows down? NTRANCING as our thoughts may be Our names be sung, however loud, Remember that though far from thee A friend remains, foverer proud That he was once with thee. CHAS. E. CAMJ1

Ellie Efriangnlar Eehatr The primary for the triangular debate was held january 4, 1915. The debaters chosen to compete in the Hnal contest were, affirmative, Lura Hinton, Lela Hanawalt, negative, Maude Foster, Harry McMillen and Ethel Dunn. On February 22, the first of a series of triangular debates to be held an- nually between the high schools of Linden, Darlington and New Richmond, took Jlace. I Linden won the beautiful trophy, its affirmative team defeating the New Richmond negative of Linden, and its negative team defeating Darlington team in the debate held at Darlington. Each school had two teams and the debates were held simultaneously in these towns, the subjects being: Resolved, That there should be an illiteracy test for foreign immigration to the United States. Although we were unfortunate in losing to Linden it stood two to one, showing the closeness of the contest. We won from Darlington here, the score being three to nothing. Nothing but praise can be given for the work of these teams and Mr. Canup, who we are fortunate to have had at the head of the department. All deserve great reward. Hinntgnnwrg Qlnnntg Cbraturiml Gluntrnt On the afternoon of Saturday, April Io, the representatives of the differ- ent high schools of the county met at Crawfordsville in Music Hall to contest for the highest oratorical honors of the county. Nine high schools were repre- sented in the contest. These high schools were as follows: Crawfordsville, New Richmond, VV ingate, Linden, Darlington, Waynetown, Ladoga, New Market and Waveland. The contest was exceptionally good from the standpoint of oratorical style and of interest to the audience. Large delegations were brought by each high school represented and much enthusiasm was manifest. Cookie, our boy representative, spoke first. He had chosen for his ora- tion A Plea for Cuba, and gave a masterful delivery. He surprised and capti- vated the audience by his clear and ringing speech. Although Lowell was unable to land a place this year we feel sure than next year he will give a good account of himself and return victor for N. R. H. S. Miss Ruth Hunt, our girl representative, spoke last in the contest for the girls. The oration which she delivered was entitled The Conservation of Human Life. Although the people had sat there for above two hours and were almost worn out Ruth captured the audience with her first word, and from then to the end of the speech held them breathless. When she had Hnished there was a gen-- eral feeling in the audience that she had won the contest and it was with a great feeling of anticipation that the crowd awaited the judge's decision. When the result was announced it was found that Crawfordsville High School had won first in both contests, with Ruth a very close second. Next year we are certain that Carrie will take first place and again place N. R. H. S. on the map. Page Thiity one
