The Debate Team 1912 Champions Kgge Chapman Burnell m % TEST HIGH won the city Championship in debate, hive victories witli-out a defeat is a record to he proud of. Duluth Central and all the T city high schools were met in debate. In no small measure, Edwin Chapman—captain of the team—was responsible for this success. Possessed of rare judgment; combined with a happy faculty of harmonious team work: he never failed in the forcible presentation of argument or the management of the team. Walter Egge and Oliver Buswell worked in perfect accord to present a uniform issue in each debate.- To Eggc l elongs the credit of a careful study of postal conditions, while Buswell consistently hammered his argument of principle. The January Commencement deprived the team of the able opposition of Frederick Hannah—but Martin Kalton and Donald Timmerman consistently aided in the much needed rebuttal work. The faithful interest in the business management shown by Donald Timmerman was indeed commendable. The successful season just closed should encourage West High in a greater interest in this highly beneficial form of school activities: and with Oliver Bus-well as an experienced debater, every effort should he put forth to produce in 1913 another team like the victorious Chapman, Eggc. Buswell. Albert I. Lobb. Ten
