l fi fi f . '. WW Debate Losing the entire nrst team, and having only three second team veterans upon which to base this year's squad, the debate teams recruited students with previous unknown ability and developed them into another winning team, taking every con- ference meet contested. At the beginning of the season little hope was entertained by the school for a second conference championship, but the members of the squad were determined to equal the record set last year. As a result, the two teams conquered East Aurora, Elgin and West Aurora, to win the undisputed lead. Mr. Cleon Foust, recent graduate of Waloash college, coached the teams to victory.
