It is here that Mr. Prickett’s crew of debaters are preparing to meet teams from the Agricultural School of St. Paul and Crookston. From this group two teams will be selected to represent the school in debate. The question is ‘Resolved, that the several states should adopt the unicameral system of legislature.’”’ Members of the debate squad are unanimous in their opinion that the benefits which they derive from participation in debate justify the efforts which they put forth.

Sharp Shooters The report of rifles could be heard coming from the rifle range in Senior Hall very soon after school opened in the fall. Some veterans of former years as well as a number of new en- thusiasts have become members of this organization. The sharp shooters are discovered at a preliminary contest for marksmanship. Requirements of a good marksman are steady nerves, accuracy and the time for consistent practice. Valuable training and sport are acquired from this activity. The bi-weekly matches have been of great interest to the members, many of whom are striving to become Expert Riflemen. Distinguished Rifleman is the highest rank- ing obtainable in the Junior Rifle Corps. ap Beh TG Ns | Mr. Bridgford R. Murphy J. Koosman EK. Jackson
