T11 9 Rumble DEBATING Resolvedlll Debating season was welcomed with enthusiasm. To make it more interesting we organized a society with Barbara, presidentgflaire, vice- presidentg and Agnes, secretary-treasurer. There were two different teams and occasionally we would engage in heated arguments about reducing the tan- gible property tax. First, our affirmative team went to Montpelier Seminary and won a de- cided victory. But when the negative suffered defeat at Montpelier High School, we were somewhat subdued. Our alhrmative team then won a 2-1 de- cision over Spaulding. Our two victories gave us second place in our district and entitled us to cle- bate Poeples Academy to see which team would enter the state quarter-finals. We lost by a 3-U decision and were thus eliminated. It is Certainly true that there is no loss without some gain, for now we at least know a great deal more about taxation than we ever knew before. We wish the best of luck to the future debaters of N. H. S.

Nineteen Thirty-three BASEBALL 1932-33 Coach Erickson issued the call for baseball candidates early in April. About 35 came out for practice which was held on Sabine Field. The first game with Gino Rossi, a Freshman pitching, was played April 24, against Chelsea, and was won by a score of 9-2. We won the next four games in a row with Comi and Rossi pitching, and then dropped two, one to Winooski and one to Randolph Aggies. The team then hit its winning stride again and finished the season without another defeat. The squad which made the trips, was composed of Perra, Legier, catchers, Comi, Rossi, pitchers, Beattie, Flood, Diego, Porter, Wood and Neilson, in- fielders, Bryant, McNamara, Blanchette, Matheson, and Fairbanks, outfielders. With six lettermen returning, the prospects for another successful season are bright.

N Mcfecn Thiriy-three HALLOWE'EN PARTY Hallowe'enl How can October go by without a Hallowe'en party? That is what the Freshmen asked. They answered it as soon as they asked it with the reply, We'll have one. And so they did. Football games in October! That is natural too. Perhaps the egg foot- ball game played at this party was not so rough as those played on a football field but the players were highly entertaining. One thing sure, is all those who played will agree that it is much more fun than regular football. Without apples on a string Hallowe'en wouldn't be complete. And with- out ghosts there would not be a Hallowe'en atmosphere. And there were ghosts! Two solemn, stately, shrouded figures welcomed the guests at the door, with their cordial wet-gloved hands that sent shudders up one's back bone. After the usual Hallowe'en games, dancing was enjoyed, the music for the evening's entertainment being furnished by Mrs. johnson. Miss Salmond, the Freshman Class Advisor, was the FacultyAdvisorforthe party. Mrs. W. D. Emerson, Mrs. S. R. White and Prof. Charles N. Barber acted as chaperons. . MAGAZINE CONTEST Say, jack, did you know the magazine salesmen are here today? Real- ly? Fine. And by these remarks you know that the magazine sale is'on. For the last three years the High School has conducted magazine sales, the school being divided into two teams, each striving daily to out-score the other in the number of sales. The losing team gives a party to the proud winners soon after the contest has ended. This year the High Hats and the Sombreros were the names of the contesting sides. A lively contest was had and the Sombreros were the win- ners-only by a very slight margin. A party was held at Grange Hall where dancing, games, etc. aided in making the party a success.
