Behate Eight people entered the debate tryouts this yearg namely, Mansfield Liebelt, Harold Miner, Lucile Merritt, Carl Trulson, Louis Berg, Ruth Fansher, Kathryn Shives, and Leland Lucas, of whom the first six were picked for the team. The subject this year was, Resolved: that Congress should be given the power, by Federal Amendment to regulate the employment of all persons under eighteen years of age. The members of the affirmative and negative teams are: Affirmative Negative Lucile Meri-it Ruth Fansher Harold Miner Louis Berg Mansfield Liebelt Carl Trulson On February fifth, the affirmative went to Park Falls and the negative met Minocqua at home, both winning by a score of 2-1. The following Thursday, February eleventh, the affirmative defeated Glidden 2-1 at Phillips, and the next clay the negative went to Washburn, where they insured our entrance into the semi-finals by winning, also with a ,score of 3-0. These victories placed us among the ten highest teams in the state, and our next debates were scheduled with Cumberland and Amery. On Ma1'ch fourth ,the affirmative journeyed to Cumberland, where they went down by a score of 3-0. As Cumberland was thus the only school that had not lost at least one debate, and as neither Phillips nor Amery would be able to go on, the latter debate was called off. Cumberland's next victory gave her the state championship. Five of the team members will graduate this year, but from the numerous reports we hear, there will be a large number of candidates for the team, which will no doubt, more than overcome the-se difficulties. 46 Ip..

The judges, as usual, said it was a difficult contest to decide, but the results were as follows: Anne Bjork-first place Brothers of Angels. Mae Johnson-second place The Clanging Hours. Ethel Vent-third place The Man Who came Back. At the league contest, Anne Bjork won second place-Rib Lzilie, which won first place, represented the league at Stevens Point. In the 1926 contest there are nineteen entrants. As this is too large a number to be heard in one evening, the school will hold a series of preliminary elimination con- tests. The ive highest in these contests will represent the school in the local contest. At the time of going to press these have not been chosen. From the increasing number of entrants each year, it may be observed that :forensics are constantly growing in popularity with the student-body. Local contest 1926 was won by Lucile Merritt who won Trophy cup in League and represented League at Stevens Point getting 4th place. 4147 IP-
