l THE DEBATE TEAMS Afiirniative Negative Della. .lustice Ralph Hannon Powrie Doctor Don Hemphill illartha Woodbury Harold Lowe M r. Wright tSponsorj The question ol' the State High School Debating League was, Resolved: That labor unions are detrimental to the best interests of the working man. Late in October the six people to represent Olathe in the debating league, were chosen by a tryout. 'these were then divided into two teams: Allirmative, Della Justice, tcaptainl, Martha Woodbury, Vowrie Doctor and Lewis McGee, tsubstitutelg Negative, Ralph Hannon, tcaptainl, Donald Hemphill, Harold Lowe and Bernice Haskin tsubstitutej. Extensive research, hard work. anchgpreseverence characterize the work done by the debate teams of Olathe High Sclhool this year. Under the excellent guidance ol' Mr. Wright, the coach, very logical speeches were prepared. The debate for the first debate was set for the eighth of January. It was a triangular debate, Olathe going to Kansas City, Kansas, and the latter sending 'her negative team to Olathe. Olathe's negative team won at Rosedale by a two to one de- cision but trhe home team lost at Olathe by the same number of votes. Since Kansas City, Kansas also won from Rosedale sue was given the decision. Although the grades of the Olathe debaters averaged nine points above those of their opponents, they l0St through the decision of the judges. 1 We are glad to add that Kansas City, Kansas went on and won the district championship.
