A third debate team composed of Rowena Upjohn, Dorothy Kibbe, Ruth Starrett, and Francis Wise also took part in the Linfield tournament debates.

Finlay, in his first year here, has concentrated on organizing bands and orchestras at all the Salem schools besides reaching students who wished instruction on band instruments and who didnt have money for instruments or instruction. The Salem high band began its season with a guest concert at Independence high school. This was followed by an appearance at the Annual Chemcxxa Founding celebration when their program was mainly composed of marches. Their outstanding performance was during the Portland Winter Sports Car- nival where they won first place in both the marching and playing contests. The band played for many school programs among which xx as the Girls' Letter club slym Jamboree, when the most appealing number was no doubt the lndian Love Call from Rose Marie . Culminating the bands activities every year is the Oregon State High School Band Contest held alternately at Eugene and Corvallis.
