By this time Arthur Hill had seventeen out of the possible twenty points and we were one of the thirty-two high schools that were entered ill the State Elimination Contest; however, there were only nineteen out of the 135 debating teams that had made seventeen or more points. The first series of the elimination debates were held March 24, and our negative team went to Alma. The debaters who represented Arthur Hill in this debate were Ben Wells, Lawrence Raymond and Albertine Schmidtke. As you can well expect, it was the best debate of the year. The sparks surely did fly back and forth there. It took ten minutes after the debate was over before one judge could make up his mind which team had won. When the ballots were finally opened, we learned that the decision was two to one in favor of Alma. The fact that this debate was lost should by no means be considered as a disgrace, because this is the first time that Arthur Hill has ever gone so far in debating as to even enter the elimination contest. The question in all the debates was, Resolved, that the principle of the closed shop in American industry should receive the support of public opinion. ALBERTINE SCHMIDTKE, ' 22. DEBATING TEAM

Debating Several people have made the remark that Arthur Hill has been giving too much attention to the athletics and not enough to literary vifork. But this year, much to the credit of the school, this aspect has been changed and we have the interests just about evenly divided be- tween the physical and mental development of the students. This change is partly due to the merits of the debating teams and their coaches, Miss Lillian B. Smith and our principal, Mr. Haggard. The affirmative team, composed of Ben Wells, George Alderton, and Everett Winslow, won its first debate. The debate took place with Bad Axe, December 12, at the Annex. Both teams showed excellent preparation, but our team received a unanimous decision. The second debate was between our negative team and Flint ' s affirmative, and was held at Flint on January 13. Our team was com- posed of Lawrence Raymond, Ellen Ryan and Albertine Schmidtke. The decision was two to one, which indicated a very close contest. On January 17, our affirmative team went to Bad Axe for a return debate. Bad Axe misunderstood the debating regulations and pre- pared to debate our negative instead of the affirmative. The result was a forfeit to Arthur Hill, which, in actual points, is equal to a unani- mous decision. The return debate with Flint took place February 11, at the Annex. Flint showed some improvement since the first debate but our team showed more and we were honored with another unanimous decision. Our affirmative team was to have a debate with Tawas at Tawas City on February 24, but for reasons unknown to us, the Tawas people forfeited to us. This was as good as another unanimous decision.
