OUR DEBATERS With all of the members of our last year ' s team as a nucleous, we are able to turn out a victorious aggregation. Detroit Eastern -had promised a return debate for this year but the Debating Club died before the time came for it to fulfill its promise. We had no better luck with Bay City Eastern, although that club was only in a state of comatose. Saginaw East Side High was the lives! in the bunch. They accepted our challenge and the date for the de- bate was set for April 23. Later a triangular debate was arranged ' with Bay City Eastern as the third school. In the meantime a de- bate with Flint was arranged, but Flint withdrew. During this time Miss Nash was hard at work prepar- ing the teams for the triangular Debate. The boys certainly work- ed hard, but Miss Nash kept things humming. One week before the great day, Bay City Eastern dropped out. thus reducing the tri- angular to a double debate. The time the debaters had spent in preparation was well used for their opponents were not to be easilv beaten. Nevertheless we won at both places by a vote of two to one. We congratulate the team and the coach, and hope the society will keep up its good work next year.

The play was a huge success, the cast displaying great histrionic ability. The plot centers about a certain wealthy young man, by the name ot fed Kingsley. On Thursday evening, he decides to be- come a candidate for the election of foot-ball manager, which is to take place on Saturday. Kingsley comes to this decision, because Dan and Pudge, two of his college mates, tell him the girl he is in- terested in is Rachael Templeton, The College Widow , and that he cannot hope to win any attention from her unless he holds Some college office. The girl, however, in whom he really is interested turns out to be Alice Bailey, the sister of his rival Frank Bailey. After discovering the identity of Alice Bailey, Ted decides to with- draw from the election. Dan and Pudge, however, do not allow him to do so. Ted ' s attempt to withdraw involves him in many entang- ling circumstances, but in the end everything turns out to the sat- isfaction of all parties.
