Debate This is Plymouth's eighth year in the Michigan High School Debating League. This year tl1e question debated was: Resolved, that the proposed Child Labor Amendment to the National Constitution should be adopted. by the United States. Plymouth secured the negative side for her first two debates and the affirmative for her last two. At the first debate, which was held with Ypsilanti, November 19, 1925, the Plymouth team, consisting of Josephine Schmidt, Blanche Freeman, and Julia VVilcox, went down to defeat. However. this did not dampen the team's spirits. In fact, it stimulated them to more action. They worked hard and the night of the Plymouth-Northville debate, which was held l1e1'e on December 11, 1925, they defeated Northville by a 3-0 decision. The team, which was again composed of Josephine Schmidt, Blanche Freeman, and Julia VVilcox, now felt as though they were accomplishing something. On the Htl: of January, 1926, we journeyed to Howell, where Josephine Schmidt, Frank- lin Atkinson, and Julia VVilcox defeated the Howell trio by a unanimous decision. The last debate of the series was held at Plymouth, February ll, 1926, with Birmingham. The judges voted for Plymouth 2-1. Plymouth was especially anxious to enter the state elimination contest, not only for the honor of the team and the school, but because the Detroit Free Pree awarded wall plaque trophies to all schools eligible to enter. Plymouth was one point short of getting in and she was not one of the lucky eleven schools who entered on eleven points. Letters will be award- ed to Julia VVilcox, Dorothy Hillman, Josephine Schmidt, Blanche Freeman, Julia Learned, Franklin Atkinson, and Malcolm Cutler. Medals will be received hy Blanche Freeman, Julia VVilcox, Josephine Schmidt, and Franklin Atkinson. The Plymouth Debating squad give credit to Mrs. Ruth li. Huston VVhipple for her splen- did coaching which was responsible for the success of our team. Practice debates, whereby the necessary training and experience were derived, were held throughout the season. They were with River Rouge, twice, Northwestern, twiceg Ann Arbor, and Birmingham. 30
