2 6 Class Book. 1904 were paired with Fairmont for the next debate. Mr. Ozias had handled the financial end of the debates, and Zimmerman and others had done good work in selling tickets, so that we had money enough to bring Fairmont to Minneapolis. Fairmont chose the negative and our boys had to reverse and turn their arguments inside out for use on the affirmative. Meanwhile word was received that quite a delegation need be expected to come down with the team and a committee was appointed to arrange a reception to take place after the debate. The day came and brought with it the debaters, Richardson, Tonne and Xorris. This team turned out to he the strongest we had yet encountered but we won out as before. The decision rendered was two to one in favor of the affirmative. Flic reception which followed was enjoyed by every one, both from Fairmont and Minneapolis. And now South High was in the semi-finals. Her opponent was to be St. Paul, who had beaten her once before. The debate was to be held in South High auditorium and St. Paul chose the negative. The debate had to be postponed a week on account of the illness of one of the St. Paul men. The extra week proved too much for our team, and the St. Paul trio, consisting of Firestone, Hor-witz and Gauger. carried off the honors. The decision was unanimous for the negative. An oratorical and declamatory contest was held early in May. At the preliminaries three orators out of four and three declaimed out of six were selected. The orators taking part in the finals were Anderson, Young and McKeen, and the declaimers were Bertha Sanford, Sol Fligelman and Beatrice Gjertsen. At the finals Young and Anderson took first and second oratorical prizes, and Miss Gjertsen and Miss Sanford took the declamatory prizes. With the receipts a banquet was to be held near the close of the year. The receipts of the debates went to new literature for the society, and a fund of over a hundred dollars will be expended in this way. This year of 03-04 has, taken altogether, been most successful. and it is our hearty wish that it may lx? eclipsed next year. — Willis Newton.

Ruth Banker. 4ln Ulrnuiriam (in the twelfth day of January, nineteen hundred four, Lucinda Parker passed away. She had been sick but a few weeks, and this, together with the fact that her illness was not believed to be serious, made the news of her death a severe shock to all her friends. She was a member of the senior class, the Literary Society, and the Peta Kappa Phi. and in all these organizations she took a prominent part. An excellent student, a kind friend, and an earnest worker, she was admired and respected by her schoolmates and teachers. Absent tho she be. she is still present in the memories of those who knew her best.
