Debate “I resolve that we should . . . ,” “Who does he think he is?” “Why you just wait till my turn comes, I’ll sure tell him.” Although this is only a sample of the debaters when waiting for their turn to “come back at the other fellow,” our team is up and on the level. The subject that was chosen for the national high school debate question this year was “Resolved, that the power of the federal government should be increased.” Again a regular debate class was offered in the curriculum of S. H. S. The class was combined with an Advanced Civics course, thereby allowing the students their required credit in Advanced Civics and a study of debate at the same time. Those students enrolled in the debate class were Sally Ann Fair, Janet Haywood, Eddie Rappuhn, Kenneth Salisbury, Albert Morgenweck Jean Glotfelty, Lionel Gross, Jim Tschirgi, Bill Skinner and Frank Day. Members of the regular debate team are Bill Skinner, Eddie Rappuhn, Frank Day, Sally Ann Fair, Jean Glotfelty, Lionel Gross, Janet Haywood and Jim Tschirgi. Besides debating at various clubs in Sheridan, the debate team has debated at tournaments in the following towns: Buffalo, Gillette, Casper, Greeley. Laramie and Spearfish. All in all the debaters have participated in about 50 debates. Although some of the debaters are seniors and are graduating this year, next year will be a promising one with a nucleus of experienced members.
