[ I DEBATING TEAM Miss Netta Stephen, Mr. Cecil Warner, and Mr. Stanley Johnson (Coach) The Debate Dermilion High School us. D.S.A. CTUDENTS of more recent years will recall the fine action of the Rev. W. P. Stevens, pastor of St. Saviour’s Anglican Church, in Vermilion, when he presented for annual competition the now well-known Debating Cup. Unfortunately Mr. Stevens left Vermilion before the cup arrived and the actual presentation was made on his behalf by Dr. W. W. Bell, local physican.

OBITUARY It is with deep regret that we announce to our students and Alumni Members throughout the Province, the death of Miss Dorothy May Burton. Dorothy suc¬ cumbed to an alliness of several months’ duration at the University Hospital, Edmonton, on January 25th, 1930. Our sincere sympathy is extended to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Burton, of Irma, in their deep loss. Dorothy will be remembered as one of the most popular girls of the First Year Group in 1928-29, when her winning manner made all staff members and students her sincere friend. fatfmore MEAT SCRAPS Guaranteed to contain 50% PROTEIN and maximum j 20% PHOSPHATES in a most palatable and digestible I form.
