Track Summary for 1924 In the North High interclass track meet, held on April 26, the senior athletes buried the underclassmen under an avalanche of points. By winning six first, seven second, six third and several fourth places, along with the relay race, they were able to garner 72 points. The juniors were the closest com¬ petitors with 28 points, while the sophomores and freshmen trailed with 23 an d 8 respect¬ ively. Hosfield, ’24, track captain for the season, won all the points allowed an entry by taking four firsts, besides being a member of the winning relay team. His name, there¬ fore, will be engraved on the track cup pur¬ chased by former coach Wagner. Previous to this only two track men have won this honor. The inter-class meet uncovered other mater¬ ial which shows promise also. Middleton, a Sophomore miler, is showing class and should develop into an unusually good man during the season. Griffith, a junior, although only a novice at pole vaulting, is jumping almost 10 feet, which is considered a good height especially considering the condition of the available jumping places and the time of year Cleon Wells, White, Hosfield and Conley gained some experience, as well as honor, when they took fifth place in a medley relay at Columbus on April 19. Many schools of high caliber were represented in this race; such as Toledo Scott and Waite, Lakewood and Columbus South. The most successful meet of the season so far was the one held at Lakewood Oi. May 3, where the Northern athletes won first place in the mile relay, second in the sprint medley and fourth in the 880relay. A handsmoe silver cup and eight medals testified to the suc¬ cess of the occasion. In a triangular meet, staged at North High’s field on May 10, West High emerged an easy winner with 82| points over North’s 36 and South’s 11 . Marty of West carried off the personal honors with four first places. The Northerners, as a whole, did not come up to their usual standard. Wnite, however, made his best time in the quarter, winning a first place with time 56.5. Baker won the discus throw with 103ft. lin. Hosfield took second place in the 220 yard dash and Limric m the broad jump. These, with places won by Hos¬ field and White in the 100 yd. dash, constituted North’s score. —Joseph Zissen,’25 Debate News Debating at North has been given due at¬ tention this year. Each of the Hygiene classes held a debate on the question: Resolved, that life in a community is better than private home life. In one class the affirmative side won the decision; in another the negative team was successful. Mr Kelly’s three lOA English classes engaged in a series of dis¬ cussions on the Philippine question, although no formal debate was held. The real interest of the debating season, however, centered around the Debate club, which, at its first meeting held early last October, elected Donald Bishop president. Many questions were taken up for discus¬ sion during the first semester. In February members of the club began to gather facts on the Philippine question. In April a tri angular debate was arranged between Ak¬ ron North, Cuyahoga Falls and Bedford on the question: Resolved, that the Philippines should be given immediate and absolute in¬ dependence. On May 1 the members of both teams to represent North High were selected; Edna Schrank, Budd Van Kirk, Donald Bishop, and Charles Walker (alternate) composing the affirmative team and Jeane Garrett, Basil Likens, Luther Hosfield, and Robert Long- aker (alternate) the negative. On Friday May 9, the affirmative team de¬ fended the argument at home against the Bed¬ ford negative team, while the negative team went to Cuyahoga Falls to argue against their affirmative. The debate resulted in two victories for Cuyahoga Falls, one victory and one loss for North and two losses for Bed¬ ford. In the debate held at North the student body showed good sportsmanship toward Bedford giving them considerate attention and enthusiastic applause. The decision of judges Flickinger, Zook, and Marting was unanimous in favor of North. At Cuyahoga Falls North’s negative team lost a two-to-one decision. Altogether we have had a fairly successful debating season, though w e have room for improvement in scoring next year. Probably two or more inter-school debates will be sched¬ uled for that time and the aim of the Debate club will be to come through undefeated. —Budd Van Kirk,’24 Fifty-nine

V ell, we should say so! On Saturday our boys journeyed to Lake- wood where they won first place in the mile relay, sec¬ ond in the sprint medley and fifth in the half mile relay. A silver trophy cup was awarded to North, together with five gold medals and five silver medals. ) May 26 The Senior A’s are looking forward to a party given by the 12B’s on May 29th. We hope that this will not be delayed as the former Sen ior parties have been. With Paul Fritsch and Augie as decorators we expect to see a won¬ derful place such as the “Far East” as in Cleveland. June 2 Don’t you wish you were a Senior and go¬ ing to graduate in another week? They get out of school a week early to prepare them¬ selves for the one great event in their lives. And all they do is come back and loaf around the halls, if they do not have to take any ex¬ ams; and of course they don’t! June 9 At last the fatal day has arrived. Do they all graduate and does every one pass? That is the question which only the powers are able to answer. Sixty
