Much improvement has been made over the first meeting which was held 'way back in '22. Our Society has grown along with our High School and those who made up the Society of 1922 would scarcely recognize this as the same organization. The plan has been to discuss a famous writer or poet. Mark Twain and Benjamin Franklin were two of those studied. Among the other activities was a Christmas play put on by several members of the Society. . This year has ranked as the best in the Society's history and although we shall lose several valuable members by graduation, we hope to make next year the success this has been. The Franklins are: Frances Hamel, Madeline Richards, Mary Kinstle, Helen Harris, Rowena Marolf, Malcolm Hanselman, Warren Whitmore, Jack McCaslin, Clarence Frautschi, Delbert Pringle, Louis Pavlica, Esther Foust, Frank Boenke, Mildred Schaeffer, Evelyn Warner, Robert Burdo, Ernest Pringle, Orville Hubbell, Fred Leonard, John Peer, Joe Malenovsky, Pauline Kitoff, Tony Zawojski, Anthony Vavrik, John Ceparski, Marie Smith, Steve Yondo, Robert Thornton, Herbert Young.

1929 - THE MAROON AND GRAY - 1929 DEBA TING TEAM This year Rossford cntered a team in the State Debating League. This was a new undertaking for Rossford since we have not had a debating team for four years. Although the members of the team had never debated before and the first debate was lost to Hicksville, the team had a highly successful career and one of which Ross- ford may be proud. The question on which the team debated was: Resolved: That the United States should cease to protect by force of arms, capital invested in foreign lands except after formal declaration of war. The first debate, in which Rossford upheld the afhrmative, was held here and lost to Hicksville. The second debate took place at Hicksville with Rossford successfully defending the negative side. Again Rossford debated on the aflirmative side, and beat Gibsonburg here. The last debate was held at Fremont. Rossford again had the affirmative side but lost. The team gave Fremont a good fight however, and kept them worried. Three members of the team will graduate this year, but Robert Thornton will be an experienced member for next year's team. Miss Frisbie, the coach, deserves a great deal of credit for the success of the team. She took people whose ignorance of debating was appalling and made them into a team which successfully defended both sides of the same question-a difiicult thing to do. The members of the team are: Helen Harris, Malcolm Hanselman, Jack McCaslin, and Robert Thornton. The team members all say that if anyone wishes to know any- thing about imperialism, the Kellog Peace Pact, or military protection of property just come to them. They are especially well-informed on Nicaragua and the Kellog Peace Pact. The team of '29 brought great honor to Rossford High School, but may next year's team better this record and carry the Maroon and Gray on to greater victories. I:Page 281
