i ..1, ECHOES T. W. C. 'The T. W. C. has just passed through one ofthe most pros- perous years of its life. It has not only had a very prosper- ous year financially, but also a year of rare things along the line of entertainment. What it has done this year, We will discuss in the next few lines. The lirst thing of much importance was the stunt which We had in assembly. It was Professor Posinsky, that noted poser from the tropics. He came into our midst from the land of roses and skunks. He gave is a Very entertaining assembly and all enjoyed it. Nellis was the poser and his able assistants were Ridgeley and Konold. This was Konold's Hrst appearance as a member of T. W. C. The next thing of importance was the stunt given at the Western Reserve Academy game. The boxing match was very entertaining. Gordon Wright and Irvin Grossman Were the principal actors in the sparring match which proved to be a surprise to .very many. Then came the Easter Dance which was a success in every way. This dance netted us the sum of 84000. We were very happy and called ourselves very lucky. And more than that, the dance was thoroughly enjoyed by all present. . Last but not least was the T. W. C. Vodville Show. This was the most successful thing financially that we have at- tempted to give this year. The show netted us about 3100.00 We have not used the money yet but we expect to give at least part of it to the High School Library.

ECHOES DEBATE Debate work is a type of school activity that requires and demands, that the school support it not only in a linancial way, but it even requires the presence, the interest, and the keenest support of the student body. if it is to succeed. Debate work will develop you mentally, and leave an imprint on your mind and character, that will spell the Word success. It is not usual to hear the remark, that a debate does not present the sameelements of struggle and action that may be found in an athletic contest. It is here, that we may draw that line of distinction between these two activities. An athletic contest is one, that primarily requires physically Ht bodies, and secondly mental ability to carry out the action. A debate requires first of all, that the participants be equipped mentally and sceondly, that they possess a great amount of energy, perseverance or even plain mule power. The one activity is a physical battle while the other is a mental one. You will help to bring success to YOUR SCHOOL, if you will lend a hand, and support the activities of YOUR SCHOOL. Warren High School was deprived of the privilege of having Mrs. Geiger to lead and guide the debate Work this year. Mrs. Geiger put energy, force and life into our debates and from these four things came success, that placed Warren High School in an envious position regarding debate work. This vacancy was Hlled by Miss Gladys Black, who came from Grove City, Pa. Mr. Pleus came to us about January 20, and took up the active work for both debates. It was last autumn, sometime in November, that Ashtabula High School challenged Warren High to a dual debate to be held on the fourteenth of January. The question decided upon was-: Resolved: That European immigration to the United States should be further restricted. This was and is a question of real interest to every American, and one that re- quires attention. Two phases ofthe immigration problem were excluded from the discussion. The one was the religious phase and the other was the Asiatic immigration. Shortly after Thanksgiving the first tryout was held, but the teams were not picked at that time due to the fact, that only a very few pupils responded to the call. Another tryout was held several days later and the negative and HEFIIIEIITVC teams were chosen at that time. The speakers of the negative team were, Mildred Moon, Beatrice Lister, Benny Miller with 'Claire Miller as alternate. The speakers selected for the affirmative were Margaret Whittaker, Frank Smith and Harvey Seiple, with Dean Work as alternate. Botlnteams set to Work with a great deal of energy and spirit and were putting on the finishing touches, when a message came from Ashtabula asking that the debate be postponed until Friday, January 28. This privilege was granted, but again a message came, a different mesage, which read, Dangerl, Small pox ahead! Dedate postponed indehnitel l A few weeks later the date was set for March 1. On Tliiesday, March 1, both teams were girt for action. The aHirmative team was sent to Ashtabula, while the negative team remained at home. The affirmative team lost its side of the question in the contest that was close, keen and just. The negative team held up the honor of Warren High by adding one more victory to the list. This debate is a new one, and we hope, that it may continue to be one of our annual activities. ' ...-.-4.24- .,. ,
