On September ll, l958, the Hamilton Literary Society launched into another year of forensic ac- tivities. This year has produced many good de- bates and extemporaneous speeches. Breaking an old tradition, the society held inter- society debates other than the usual mid-term and linal debates. Each society sent a team of debators to the opposing group and both spoke on the same topic, one of special interest at the time. Re- solved: That Governor Faubus was justihed in his actions concerning the Arkansas school. Although the Hamilton teams held different sides of the question, they were victorious in both cases. Pete Blanton and Chuck Bucke were elected to be the mid-term debators while Henry lllhiteside was made alternate. The question for the debate was,. Resolved: That foreign aid should be sub- stantially increased. The Hamilton team did an excellent job of upholding the aflirmative and this was considered an excellent debate by all. The lelamiltons defeated the Platonics in this debate alter a two hour argument of mixed moods. There were lnunorous as well as serious parts, and the debate was greatly enjoyed by all attending. For the Final Debate Tommy XVhitsitt and Peter Smith were chosen to represent the Hamiltons with lVells Garden serving as alternate. The question was Resolved: That the best interests of the states involved and the nation will be enhanced if the southern states will cease to resist the edict of the Supreme Court and will integrate their schools as prescribed by the Federal Courts, Along with extemporaneous speaking and decla- mation. the debators have upheld the llamilton tradition and helped to write another glowing page in the annals of its history.
