PRECOURT EECKE CASSIDY FIRKU3 Jte MmiAo This year when the call went forth for stu- dents interested in work on the school paper, a record number applied. The staff was not selected until after the first two issues, by which time the number of student applicants had decreased somewhat. By using this me- thod it was thought only those who had a genuine interest in the paper and a willing- ness to work would be on the staff. With com- petition running high among those who wished a place on the staff the first two issues were brought out with very few complica- tions. However, a group of boys felt that they would like to issue one Mirror and the oppor- tunity was given them by the superintendent. Because of the utmost consideration shown to this new staff by everyone to whom they went, the regular members of the Mirror staff, who had not met with the same co-operation, were somewhat discouraged. Nevertheless, after several pep talks by Miss Schaffner and Mr. Speerstra, the regular staff rallied again and from that time on produced an issue of the Mirror approximately every two weeks. It was the ambition of the Mirror staff to have a larger paper, but this was impossible, since the work of printing had to be done in the high school print shop where equipment is limited. However, the staff is anxiously awaiting the time when a new and larger press, capable of printing a five-column pa- per, will be added to the print shop equip- ment. The staff met with only partial success when it tried to create a better paper by asking for contributions from the student body. The Mirror staff reminded the students that the Mirror cannot be an outstanding success until all realize that news is created by the co- operation of everyone.

' SCHUWEILER KURTZWEIL LASZEWSKI WALKER ewite eatft This season saw the interest in debate at a new high. From the 21 students who were enrolled in the special debate class, which was offered this year for the first time, were chosen those who would represent the school. In this special course the students learned the fundamentals of debate, such as research work, preparation of the brief and rebuttal, as well as actual debating. Debates were held before this class and also in several other classrooms. Mr. Moreau, debate coach, who also had charge of this class, says that the class was well worth while for those who were interested in debate. It is hoped that next year the class will be open to Sopho- mores as well as to Juniors. A great deal of research, time, and effort was necessary to debate the question: Re- solved, that the federal government should own and operate the railroads. The debate squad, composed of four mem- bers and two alternates, was selected after elimination debates among the 19 students who actually debated. The squad participat- ed in several non-decision debates at Wiscon- sin Rapids and Waupaca. The highlight of the season was the district tournament be- tween 26 schools, which was held here at Stevens Point. Although our squad did not win the right to represent the district, they left behind them a record of three victories out of six debates. This year the squad will lose two members by graduation, Jim Jacobs and Melvin Schu- weiler. The following represented P. J.
