1929 - THE MAROON AND GRAY - 1929 LES CHO UETTES Mary Kinstle President Helen Harris . Vice-President Herbert Young Secretary Frances Hamel . Treasurer In October, 1927, the second year French Class, under the supervision of Miss Jean Sherer, organized a French Club, the purpose of which was to gain a closer insight into French life and customs. Meetings were con- ducted in French, as nearly as possible, and both the study hours and social hours which followed proved very interesting. Members of the first year class were initiated. These new members in their turn, when they became the second year students, carried on the original plan. The insignia of the organization is a pin in the shape of an owl, bear- ing the letters, L. C. S. which means Les Chouettes Society. The members of the club are: Rowena Marolf, Malcolm Hanselman, Frances Hamel, Helen Harris, Mary Kinstle, Robert Lewis, Alphonse LaHote, Florence Michael, Evelyn Warner, Frank Boenke, Reuel Lynott, John Brown, Maurine Dunbar, Frank Stricker, and Herbert Young. fPage 291

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
