1 . i . DEBATING. Debating in Petoskey High School has suffered several hard knocks this year. First the schools of the State Debating League were divided into two classes according to school enrollment. Petoskey found itself matched against Cadillac, Traverse City, Alpena and other schools out of its immediate vicinity. Judging by past experience, the faculty de- cided that school support of debating was so weak that the longer trips to these schools would prove far too expensive. The teams were chosen late in December, Cleo Faunce, Dorsey Ellis and James Mack, on the aflirmative side, to uphold the Closed Shop. Carl J unker, Margaret Sager and Rowan Fasquelle on the negative, to defend the Open Shop. This year Miss Bollenbach coached the teams and gave a great deal of splendid, faithful service. -Mr. Lantz and Mr. Spitler assisted. On March third the negative team went to Boyne City for its first debate. There it met a team which had had four debates and was at the close of its schedule. We lost a closely contested debate by a two to one decision. The next day the affirmative team lost a two to one vote to Boyne City's negative in the Petoskey auditorium. This was quite a creditable showing for the first debate and if we had had the same number of debates as Boyne City had, it is quite safe to say that the outcome of these debates would have been different.
