Sl-.LXXX N HOI Sh SCHOOL RIACLXZINIC f j nas rn A 7- DEBRTING eff ffm. This year the debating club of the Selwyn Oratorical Society was named Theta. It was composed of the boys in the fifth form. At our first meeting Xlichael Kleighen was elected to the ofiice of president, Peter farsley was elected vice-president, and folin Dobell was elected secretary-treasurer. During the course of the year we met on alternate Fridays in the after- noon or evening. At the meetings we would have set speeches. hat-nights, bio- graphies and formal debates. In the formal debates we covered a large variety of subjects. There were debates on current events as: That the l'nited Nations should withdraw from Korea or That XYest Germany be given a place in the European Army . Then, also, there were the more domestic debates as: That Children under Sixteen be allowed into the Movies , or, That the VVoman's Place is in the Home . All of these were greatly enjoyed by the members of the club. VVe are all very grateful for the contribution of a reading-stand, which was made by Peter Davidson and Tony Lehloine. We have all had a most wonderful year, and will always remember Mr. Speirs' great help and the endless trouble he took in supervising the club through- out the season. HOUSE DEBATING Keen inter-house competition resulted from the annual debating contest in March, in which Colin Dobell and john Clarke tXVanstall Housej defeated Anthony VVait and Stanley XVinton thlacaulay Housel in discussion of the resolution That the invention of television is more of a curse than a blessing to the education of children . In the second debate, That professionalism is de- stroying the amateur spirit in team sports , Michael Meighen and Peter Carsley tLucas Housei proved winners over Alex Herron and Ronnie Raginsky tSpeirs Housej. In the final debate. on the resolution That twentieth-century science has contributed more to the unhappiness than to the well-being of mankind , VVanstall House emerged victorious. Mr. Phillips, Mr. Bloodey and Mr. Howes kindly acted as a court of judges in all three debates. l24l
