l v vv' 'VW' REVIEW OF THE YEAR'S DEBATING During the past year, Long Beach has been very active along the line of debating. Under the able management of Miss Knowles, Long Beach has been victor in two out of three hard fought inter- scholastic debates, losing the third by a very narrow margin. In these contests, teams of exceptional merit were developed, which for the strength and finish of their work would have been hard to duplicate in Southern California, and had Long Beach drawn op- ponents of less ability than she did, the season's results might have been materially different. But the school is very well satisfied with the outcome and looks back with pleasure upon the good times en- joyed at the three contests. The first debate was with Los Angeles Polytechnic High, at Long Beach. Polytechnic came down one hundred and fifty strong and after an able contest, won by the close score of SI to 49. Our team, which had the affirmative of the question, Resolved, that the United States should, under present circumstances, -annex Cuba, consisted of Jere Bowden, ,O7, and Eugene Tincher, '08, Mr. Tincher won first place. 2 The second contest, with Pomona, was held in the Pomona High School. Long Beach rooters to the number of one hundred and seventeen went on a Salt Lake special and had one of the best times of the year. Eugene Tincher, '08, and Richard Rowett, '07, upheld the negative of the question, Resolved, that the United States should now abandon the policy of a protective tariff, and won by the score of 50 5-12 to'49 1-12. A The third and last of the debates was with Downey High School. Again a special train carried a throng of enthusiastic stu- Xdents into foreign territory and again everyone enjoyed' a rattling 'good time. Richard Rowett, ,O7, and Frank Robinson, '08, went into the contest splendidly prepared and defended the negative of the question, Resolved, that the consolidation of Los Angeles and the' adjoining territory, including Long Beach and Downey, would promote the future general welfare of the regionf, This was a question of vital interest to Long Beach people at the time, and intense enthusiasm was shown when the decision, Long Beach 50 2-3, Downey 49 I-3, was announced. I .No small part of the success of these debates was due to the singing and yelling. To Miss Holton, our music teacher, assisted by Miss Anna Mussetter, is due the credit of making the singing h t e feature that .it was. Under the leaderships of Roy Haslett, '07, Bnd C901 Schllllng, i09, the yelling went a long way toward help- lflg the debaters feel that the school was with them Long Beach . - 2: students apprec1ate very much the kind and courteous treatment V 16 they rec and Dov feat wot treatmen Sinc scores, p rule that: ance the and the 4 Hence a large scc At 'E ent Stud and elec Evelyn l the Deb: debating The large nui to take 1 sible for and the t manager other Fr tice whic system v stituted 1 ing.
