HIGH SCHOOL LIFE Debate In spite of the fact that, on account of the flu vacation our school work was doubled up on us, about sixteen people came to. the tryout for positions on the debate team. Mary Guarnieri, Geraldine Ford, and Mari- on Nesbitt, members of the team last year, came back in the game this year. The other members of the spuad were: Ida Belle Hirst, Ned Brooks, Edgar Holcomb, Lillian Kastan and Isadore Moidel. The North-eastern Triangular Debate league re-organized this year and determined to have only one judge at each debate instead of three, which was formerly the custom. g On the evening of March 14, the teams met for the annual exchange of arguments upon the question: Resolved, That within the next five years Congress should adopt a policy of goverment ownership of all Rail- roads used in Interstate Commerce. The debaters were much interested in the question and they delved into every possible angle of it. The affirmative team composed of Ida Belle Hirst, Ned Brooks, Ger- aldine Ford, and Lillian Kastan, the alternate, 'met the team from South High of Youngstown in the Presbyterian Church. The arguments of the Warren team were far superior to those of the negative team. Youngs- town's nrst speaker was supposed to be the best but he fully demon- gtrated that they were not capable of competing with our high class de- ators. The negative team composed of Marion Nesbitt, Mary Guarnieri, Isa- dore Moidel and Edgar Holcomb, alternate, met the Niles team at Niles. Warren won an easy victory, thus giving Warren the championship of the North-eastern Debate League. , EXTEMPORANEOUS SPEAKING Much interest was taken in the Extemporaneous Speaking contest this year. The Seniors are proud to have had two representatives in this work in the persons of Geraldine Ford and Ned Brooks. Mr. Moidel en- tered at Cleveland. A ' Miss Ford took second place in the Sachem Contest last year but went one better this year in a Declamation Contest. Miss Ford repre- sented Warren at Pittsburg, among representatives from many states and was chosen with the three best for the final contest. She came back with first place and a gold medal as her reward. L -4'z-
