TH E SPECTATOR 9 West High Trophies Student Assembly Among the important activities sponsored bythe West High Stu- dent Assembly this year in the in- terest of an improved West High citizenship and general school bet- terment are the following: School clean-up campaign, raising the money for a football scoreboard, the establishment of the thought- for-the-day project, and the citi- zenship award. The scholarship committee of Student Assembly, with the aid of the teachers, home room advisers and students, has been successful in promoting a spirit of industry and enthusiasm which has given West High one of the most impos- ing scholarship records it has ever had. The Student Assembly regrets the loss of its present senior A members, Forrest Makinster, presi- dent, Elizabeth Harris, chairman of the social committee, James Gordon, chairman of the citizenship committee, and Dorothy Thompson, all of whom have a record of out- standing accomplishment in the assembly's activities. Elizabeth Harris has the unique distinction of having been a mem- ber of the Student Assembly since its origin in February, 1929. Dur- ing her sophomore year she held the secretaryshipg she was vice- president in her junior year, and this year has served as chairman of the social committee. When the school year began last September, the spirit to win seemed to have been imbued into the West High student body. This spirit is well represented by this noble assemblage of trophies, contibuted to by every department in the school. Not only the track, football, and basketball teams, which have contributed the larger portion, but also the musical or- ganizations, both vocal and in- strumental, Hi-Y, and debate teams have added their share. Magnificent honors, indeed, have been bestowed upon West by her winning these trophies. In addition to this collection, three more awards were won by West athletes at Ames, Saturday, May 21, but they were acquired too late to be photographed with these. The tennis team and the track team acquired the three additional prizes. Debate The debate teams for 1931-32 have had a successful year for West High. The question for dis- cussion this year was: Resolved that the several states should en- act legislation for compulsory un- employment insurancef' In this West High was represented by Wells Barnett, Art Waterbury, Eleanor Stoddard, Donita Smith, Ruth Sutherland, Marian Barker, Bob Gibson, and Bob Slifsgard. They won from Cedar Falls High, Teachers' High, Cedar Falls, Dubu- que, Clinton, Roosevelt High, Des Moines, Fort Dodge, and Decorah, losing to Clinton, Dubuque, Mason City, Iowa City, and Maxwell. In the Round Robin Debates held at Cedar Falls, West High won first in its district, but was eliminated in the semi-finals by Dubuque. In the 1932-1938 the debates will be either on: Resolved that a sale's tax should be enacted, or Resolved that at least forty per cent of the state and local taxes should come from some source other than tangible property. There will be five from this year's team available for first semester r year and four available for of the year. There will also 3 a regular debate class similar to the one this year.
