In his Manhattan division, James placed third, but did not qualify for the final event that was held in the Metro- politan Opera House. However, this experience has but whet Jirn's appetite for next year's event. In the field of debate, our affirmative team, William Liebtag and Michael Keating, are not convinced that the negative team, john Strack and james McMahon, are sin- cere in their position That Governmental Subsidies Should Be Granted To High School Students.
