lUte 0 vital hi g ©vain Beulah Mfehener Gordon Danielson Lawrence Shaw Annes Newcomer Supt. Moore Our Inter-Scholastic debates were among the most interesting events which occurred during this school year. Osceola was very ably represented by Miss Agnes Newcomer. Lawrence Shaw and Gordon Danielson, with Miss Beulah Michener as alternate. Supt. Moore, who has had considerable experience in Inter-Collegiate debates and as instructor in Argumentation, coached tin team. Much of their ability must be attributed to the careful attention which Mr. Moore gave to their work. Not one member of the team had had experience in debating before this year, yet they won second place in this district, one of the strongest in tin State Debating League. The question for discussion this season was, “Resolved, That the Cnited States should adopt Government Ownership and Operation of the Railroads.” Tn both debates in which Osceola took part, they upheld tin affirmative in a manner which showed that they were well acquainted with both sides of the question. The first contest was held in March at the O. II. S. Auditorium with the Stromsburg High School. Osceola won an easy victory, tin decision of the judges all being in favor of the O. II. S. debaters. Miss Newcomer opened the debate for Osceola, Lawrence Shaw was second speaker for the affirmative, and Gordon Danielson closed the debate for our school. A few weeks after this debate all teams in the district had been defeated except Osceola and Geneva. The Geneva team then met the O. II. S., representatives at Osceola for the district championship. A good audience was present, and the debate was so close that the result seemed doubtful until their judges rendered their decision. They decided two to one in favor of Geneva. One member of the winning team was then chosen to represent the district in the state contest. The students took much interest in the work of the team, so with the enthusiasm shown this year, the outlook for the future of debating in this school is very good. Twenty seven

The Senior Class was informed by their president that the Alumnae of the Osceola High School would entertain in honor of Mr. Moore and the Seniors on Friday evening, May 7th, at the school house. We all looked forward to this event with great anticipation because we knew how capable they were of entertaining. We were met at the door by Leah Shaw, Winnie Johnson and Florence Miller, and were then ushered up to the hall on the first floor. We spent the time visiting and renewing old acquaintances. When all the guests had arrived we were led by Mr. and Mrs. Moore in a grand march to the lower hall where the table was arranged. It was beautifully decorated with lilacs and tulips and the place cards carried out the scheme of our High School colors, the Crimson and the Cream. We were served a delicious five-course banquet. which we all enjoyed. After each course a musical number was rendered. The first number was a vocal solo by Miss Vera Peterson, the second number was a piano solo by Miss Mildred Richmond, and the third was a piano duet by Misses Vera Peterson and Ruth Walker. After this delightful program we were favored with toasts by different members of the Alumnae. Mr. Pearce acted as toastmaster. The first toast. “The Allies,” given by James Mickey, represented the Alumnae. The next toast, “In the Trenches,” was given by Myrtle Dolan, and represented the different lines of business in which the Alumnae were engaged We were next favored with a violin duet by Geralyn Walrath and Marie Mickey with a harp accompaniment by Maurine Walrath. Then Leah Shaw responded to the toast, “The Recruits,” which represents the Seniors and inspired us to be loyal members of the Alumnae. The next toast, “The Aerial Squad” representing tin Faculty, was given by Esther Campbell. After this. Ray Leibee responded to the toast. “The Submarine.” Then came “The Victory,” by our superintendent, Mr. Moore. After this we dispersed and went to our homes, resolving in our hearts to be loyal always to our Dear Old High School. A SENIOR. Twenty six
