rendered a two-to-one decision for Flint. This debate was the closest of the season, and we do not begrudge Flint the victory. Croswell, our next opponent, forfeited the debate to us and, hence, the debate that we planned to have at home was not held. Altogether, we consider that the season was a success. The team deserves a lot of credit, for they spent a great deal of time and effort upon the question. Each individual did the very best possible and ought to have the thanks of the school. In this connection a few words should be said about oratory and declamation. In the subdistrict contest held at East Tawas, April 8th, Arthur Hill was not represented in oratory. Harry Johnston, a Fresh- man of Arthur Hill, won second place in declamation. Our contestant was seriously handicapped in this event. Just prior to April 8th we had been having very warm weather, but on the day of the contest the temperature suddenly dropped ten degrees. The cold wave was accompanied by a heavy rain. Our contestant who was obliged to be out in this rain, being entirely unprepared for it, was drenched and became afflicted with a very severe cold on the very afternoon of the event. Yet in spite of this serious setback he managed to win second place. Six contestants competed for honors in declamation. The success this year in public speaking is commendable, but the best that Arthur Hill is capable of doing, has not been accomplished. Each and every student should feel that it is his duty to do all he can to make a name for Arthur Hill in the activities of this department. ELMA M. BRADFORD. HARRY JOHNSTON

For The Benefit Of Our Debaters The achievements of the public speaking department this year compare favorably with the accomplishments of previous years. But these results are due not to the enthusiasm of the school as a whole, but rather to the hard work of a few. This lack of enthusiasm was noticed both when the debating team was organized, and also when the declamation contest was held. Early in the year the University announced the subject for league debates which was, Resolved: That the adjustment of all disputes between employers and employees should be made a part of the administration of justice. On December third, the debating team, composed of Harry Johnson, Albertine Schmidtke, and Elma Bradford, journeyed to Sebe- waing for its first debate. It seemed for a time that the fates were against us. We arrived at the station that morning and found that one member of the team and our chaperon were late. The tardy member arrived in time to leave with us, but we were chaperonless. Never- theless, Miss Miller, our chaperon, arrived in time for the debate, bringing good luck with her. We won by a two to one decision. On December seventeenth, we were opposed by Cass City. Here we lost by another two-to-one decision. The Cass City people certainly deserved the victory, for they were represented by an excellent debating team. Their debaters outpointed us when it came to refuting statements but we far excelled them in delivery and constructive material. In the next debate, Arthur Hill was assigned the opposite side of the question. Up to this time, the team had supported the affirmative side of the question. Due to the fact that no one had turned out to support the negative side of the question, those people who had com- posed the aflJirmative team had to become converts and uphold the agruments presented by a team favoring the negative side of the question. On January twenty-first, we debated at Holly. We also lost this debate, this time by an unanimous decision. We lost at Holly because we made a statement that we could not support with convincing, evidence. February fourth, Flint High School was our opponent. The judges
