Much credit for the success of tl1e team is due to Sister Superior, our debate coach, who spared neither time nor energy to prepare the young orators for their work. Besides her actual help in doing research work, she gave them such thorough training that their oratorical abilities were de- veloped to a high degree. The record made by our team is exceptional when we consider the fact that the teams had very little previous experience. One of the most interesting and foremost teams was the one which debated on the .lury System. The question to be argued was: Resolved: That the United States System of Trial by Jury he Abolishedf' The affirmative was upheld by Alice Roosen and Ursula Lauerman, both of whom proved their skill in argumentation and oratory. The negative was defended by Margaret Rouse and Ellen DesLauriers, who proved to be successful in their persuasion and eloquence. W 1, The dual debate between Lourdes and Marinette High School proved to he the most interesting debate of the season. Both the affirmative and negative proved successful in their oratorical work and in their argumentation. These debaters deserve to be highly praised for their wonderful work. Hsu-:N ZYLKowsKI, '30.

It comprised members of the Senior, Junior, and Sophomore classes, who appeared on the rostrum for the first time this year. We certainly have the promise of wonderful teams during the next two years. The pep, enthusiasm, and zeal displayed by the boys from the start made the weeks of training a time of blest labor. The Dual Debate with St. Norbertis of Depere on the question, Resolved: That Installment Buying as it is now practiced in the United States is Socially and Economic- ally Sound was a complete victory for the Orange and Black. Lourdes' affirmative team composed of Charles Reinhart, Benjamin Roosen, and Gerald Rondeau, traveled to the southern city where they very skillfully defended the question. Our negative team in the persons of Arthur Vennix, Aylward Powers, and Preston Hearty, thrilled a large audience in the school auditorium. Here, too, the ambitious young orators came out on top. The constructive speeches on both sides were well developed and carefully delivered, and those who were present at both debates can vouch for the splendid poise, thorough acquaint- ance with subject matter, and gentlemanly clash of the young debaters. The young men are to be praised for their efforts to make the work a success by their constant cooperation with the untiring debate coach. MARGARET Rouse, '30. Page seventy

Nadeau iris' les lub Our life at Lourdes is bound up in music. In addition to a very talented orchestra, song is interwoven with our various activities of which the Clee Club is one. Every girl who has been giving up her eighth period on Thursday will agree that the training received during this time is very valuable. It is a period of fun, yet a period of study on a subject in which everyone is vitally interested. The purpose of the club is to teach us to appreciate music and to cultivate our tastes for the finest kinds of music. The first public appearance of the club was at the jubilee celebration. The numbers were rendered in a manner that spoke well of their training. Helen Charette, accompanist, has done justice to the beautiful choruses. The club has mastered songs of high quality, and, although its appearances were not many, we can say that it is quality that counts, not quantity. Many in the Clee Club will not be here next year to continue their musical alhliations, and the loss will be keenly felt. Those graduating are: Gertrude Bernardy. Mary Bernice Brault, Dorothy Colburn, Ellen DesLauriers, Dolores Kass, Mary Kass, Maryon Laliond, Ursula Lauerman, Kathryn Mayville, Olivette Parent, Alice Reinhart, Helen Rock, Alice Roosen, Margaret Rouse, Kathryn Scherer, Marjorie Stang. Although the club will be temporarily affected by these vacancies, the present Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen will be able to fill the gaps most efficiently and we hope that the organization will continue to flourish in the coming years.
