I El I. A PI: 1 1 171 Ml ORAL ARTS The debate teams under their coach. Dale T. Wood, had one of the most successful seasons that Ventura has ever had in years of debating. An affirmative team composed of Marjorie Fraser and Bettj Brown, and a negative team. Shirley Clark and Frank Orr. were chosen after the tryout speeches the first week of March. They immediately started work on the question. Resolved: That modern advertising is detrimental. The debaters found most of their material in the local library, but they journeyed to Santa Bar- bara on two occasions in preparation for the Santa Paula debate on April 7. The negative team went to Santa Paula where they were victorious over their affirmative by the score of 3-0. while the affirmative lost 2-1. The Ventura teams won the privilege of meeting Moorpark in the middle of May for the county finals. The outlook for next year is very promising with Marjorie and Betty returning.
