The interest in debating has increased steadily from year to year, so that now it is hardly possible for a student to pass through school without being called upon at some time or other to debate the question. ln act, there are every Monday at least eight high school debaters speaking before their respective literary societies. Then, on Tuesday afternoons there are the college debaters busy in their society. So it is that the societies keep alive the interest in debating, and through the constant development which they offer, aid in producing efficient debaters. Thrice in recent years the state championship honors have come to us-once in the high school contest and twice in the junior college meet. This year we greatly rejoice over the work and success of the debating clubs both in high school and college. Several students made a most worthy showing in the preliminary held to decide who would represent the S. C. in the state meet. The winning team, Elois Tolar and Anice Doak, won first honors and thus repeated the victory of last year's team. In the high school preliminary just held ,Ieanelle Wasson and Berry Brown were selected to represent the high school in the Delta meet. Here's to them. May they win their way on the state meet and to victory.

'Ill l lI l ' lIlI ' ? ETQOSDEC Qi2LssE'fac'l .f Attention Alumnil HE test of cne's love and devotion comes when one is absent from the object cf his devotion. Those who have smaited from Cupid's dart hold this fact to be self evident. just as applicable is this statement to the students of S. A. H. S. and S. C. who have emerged as graduates to be numbered with the ever- increasing ranks of the alumni. As an alumnus, are you willing to admit that the enthusiasm of your high school days was only a short-lived and passing manifestation of joy and excitement? No! The loyal alumnus stoutly and earnestly contends that the pep that he demonstrated in his former days was an expression of enthusiasm that was born of a deep-seated and undying love for his Alma lVlater. As a graduate of S. A. H. S. or S. C., or both, to which creed do you subscribe: Out of sight, out of mind, or Absence cannot hearts divide? The alumnus of every institution stands as an advertisement of the institution of which he is a graduate. Are you an alumnus who discredits your Alma Mater by your continual ignoring of its progress? Are you fair with the institution of which you were a student when you do not acknowledge and recognize the benefits received from your sojourn there? Are you willing to let the glow of appreciation of commencement day Hicker and fade into mere nothingness? The annual Alumni Banquet offers the best opportunity for you to renew your old friendships and acquaintances. When an invitation is sent you to be present at this occasion, welcome the opportunity, with a gusto and announce to the whole blooming works, I'll be there! A continued interest in the progress of your Alma Mater, a bit of personal advertising of it to prospective students, and your attendance at the annual Alumni Banquet will do much towards the building of a bigger, better, and greater S. A. H. S. and S. C. Fraternally yours, EARL T. THOMAS, Presidenl of llie Alumni Association, 1927-128. - 1- C g fx ev wx 'Fo it J 733 eos xg fa f ' fs . tis' F Ff n 'stil A 'x 1- 1 f- sap'- fW N0 fl fwf A
