DEBATE I Row 1: Mrs. Olsen, Eleanor Hahn, Jessie Mantle, Gertrude Grafton. Row 2: Boo Wnlte, Jimmy Young, Kenneth Jones. DEBATE NEWS RESOLVED: That the Federal Govern ant should provide a system of complete medical care available to all citizens at public expense. Does that mean any- thing to Ion? Of course tt does-- tne debate question of the year. Debate was under the supervision of Mrs. Olsen, and we say it was a success. The first trip was to Columbia, Missouri. This turned out to be more or an educational tr1p than a real debate. Those making the trip were: Gertrude Grafton-First Affirmative, Kenneth Jones-Second Ltferhative, Jimmy Young- First Negative, and Jessie Mantle-Second Negative. Of course Mr. and Mrs. Olsen went also. After Jimmy met the man who wrote the Resolved and had a little --talk, shall we say-- he decided to quit and Bob White became one or the quartet. A debate was exchanged with Ruhl-Hartman High School at the assembly at Parkville. The Afternoon was spent by exchanging sides and debating for some more practise. This was very interesting to all who attended and I an sure we learned a let about the idea of socialized medicine. Early in the new year the team attended a tournament at lyandotte High School in Kansas City, Kansas. There they lany good debate te ms, among them high school from both llssouriand Kansas. Even though there was aaiy one decision in our favor we gained a knowledge of debate. At tus Northwestern District Tourna ent at North Kansas City we mat some tough opposition. Liberty, lathrop, North Kansas City and Parkville made up the roster. When all tabulations were made North Kansas City won first, Liberty second, Parkville and Lathrop third.

Our FPet Peve George Snider, has really done his part well and has cooperated to the last degree with the staff and sponsor. Our artist, 'Buddy' Grafton, now a resident of Plattsburg, was responsible for most of the nice work an the covers of our earlier issues His colored cover of our January will alyaws be remoerea. Later, in 'Buday's' absence, Jack Davis, our cartoonist, took over, and with the help of Homer Hon, not a member of the staff, produced some nice work for the spring issues. 'Buddy Bennett, a flourishing Freshman, must not be forgotten in that he drew three pictures for the back pages of the paper Wilfred Klsker salvaged many a weak spot ln Basketball by writing up the contests in a spiffy mannerg ahile Eleanor Hahn and Stella Reynolds gave plenty of zip and flavor to the 'Cardinal Eggs , a section very aptly named by Kenneth Wilkins, assistant editor. The feature editors, too numerous to mention, were always on hand to write any article assigned to them. Lorraine Angel beck took care of the Juniors and Jessie Mantle, the Seniors . Janet Rogers, the youngest reporter, always had something to say about her junior High. This year's staff turns the 'Cardinal Echo' over to a group tho, it feels, has had sufficient training to publish a better paper, progressing with the years. Ira. Fred Olsen was the Literary Supertlsor and Irs. Hermen Puget , the Commercial Supervisor.
