DEBATING CLUB The Debating Club with Donald Knowles as chairman and Jean Jarvis as secretary meets in room 100. We think that our club possesses definite educational values, for we consider a debate a contest, and so a game. At the same time it should be an intelligent, interesting discussion of a live question. We seek to develop train- ing in straight and original thinking, open- mindedness, training in public speaking, good- sportsmanship and preparation for after-school activities. NVe have participated in both prepared and exteniporaneous debates on national, civic, and school policies, for example: Resolve: That the U. S. Stay Out of Man- churia. g Resolve: That the Salary of All City Em- ployees Be Cut 529. Resolve: That Senior High School Be Dis- missed at 1.30.
