Soon after the choice of debaters, C work began earnestly and intensively. Vt'eeks of preparation followed and with their three - years of experience, they were able to develop a team worthy of its name. i Topics for debates between classes were chosen from the events of current interest. The subjects were designed not only to give the participants skill and ability in argumentation, but , also so that they would obtain some information on questions of importance in present affairs. C One of thc most interesting debates of the season was the non-decision dual debate I between Lourdes Team and the Marinette High Team. The first speaker on the Atlirmartive was Melvin Stang. His previous experience in debat- i ing put him in good stead and from the beginning made him a valuable man on his team. .1 . . I Logic, persuasion, clearness, and eloquence were his and he used them to advantage. ln W rebuttal he was invincible-yes, Melvin will be a loss to the Debating Society. The second ' i 7, . . . . . l speaker was Llarence Golueke. His ability to analyze the question in hand, and the arguments of the opposition made him a record man. a ll The Negative was defended by ,lohn lfaller and Donald KYhite. .lohn's experience as a 4 C ,l school debater for three years proved masterful. In construction speech, his eloquence and U force painted a vivid picture before the audience.

McCue Debating occiietty Perhaps one of the most necessary elements of school life is a Debating Society. Early in the year the need for such an organization was felt, and thus the Douglas Debating Society came into existence, filling a long-felt want. No sooner had the society been announced when a clamor arose on all sides for admittance. In a short time the membership had grown enormously, until the club was second to none in the school. The activities and duties of the members of the Society were many and varied. lt was their duty to support the debating teams. which they did in an admirable manner. At the meetings, which were long looked forward to, many interesting and spirited debates and discussions took place. Besides teaching the members the art of debating and public speaking. they were given practice in par- liamentary law. A great deal is expected of this Society during the coming years in furthering debates and other activities, but most of all in developing a spirit of good fellowship among its members. DONALD J.
