19 2 7 THE THALIA Jforenstcs === Bebate Members: Myrta Nestor, Gantz Watkins, Mildred Nexvland, William Westervelt, Hazel Bloomer, Edna Nestor, Marvin Dodd, Mary Davis, Susan Poster, Edwin Wildman and Mr. Morrison, Coach. The question for county debate this year was “Resolved: That Capital Punishment Should Be Abolished.” After much study on the question and several trips to the Carnegie Library at Athens, the following debaters were chosen to represent Troy High in the triangle consisting of Coolville, New Marshfield, and Albany: Affirmative— Edna Nestor Gantz Watkins Hazel Bloomer Edwin Wildman, Alternate Negative— Myrta Nestor Susan Foster Marvin Dodd Mildred Newland, Alternate Our affirmative team, debating at home, won the decision by a margin of a single point over the negative team representing the school that was later proclaimed County Champions for this year—Albany. Our negative team journeyed to New Marshfield where we lost by four points. But as New Marshfield lost at Albany by seventeen points, this gave the first place in our triangle to Albany, thus barring us from further participation. 27

THE THALIA 19 2 7 Girls’ IBnskttiaU The girls who were interested in basketball were requested to remain after school for practice. After little practice of that sort, we met and organized. We played our first game with Tuppers Plains. We lost the game 2 to 0 because we had had very little practice. We next met Amesville on their court. We again lost 24 to 2, after a hard fought game. Our team was rather broken up for a time then; as one player quit, and another could not play any longer. We again organized. We had the honor of appearing in the first game played in our new gym, opposing the Amesville girls. We played a hard game, but one of our players was ill at the time, so that the game ended with a score of 34 to 0 in favor of the visitors. We next played Tuppers Plains on our floor, losing by a score of 4 to 2. Our next game, which was with the same school, gave us our only decisive victory of the season, with a score of 4 to 1. The game with Stewart, played on our floor, resulted in defeat by a close score of 6 to 4. Encourage by these recent results we entered our last game, with Canaanville, determined to win. It was a close game. It should have been a tie, but due to some argument, the visitors were supposed to win with a 5 to 6 result.
