Sauerberg, D. liakcr FCJRENSICS DEBATE DECLAMATORY The debate question for this year was Resolv- ed: That the President of the United States should be elected by the direct vote of the peoplef, The affir- mative team was composed of Edith Rye and Donna Baker. The negative team members were Norma Sauerberg and Carol Ludeman. Others out for de- bate were Helen Roselle, Roger Roe, and Janet Sikor- ski. Miss Kanable acted as coach. These teams had a practice debate with College High on january 18, City High winning both deci- sions. The negative team also won a practice debate with Watertown the following afternoon. The Whitewater district debate tournament was held on january 21 at Wisconsin High School in Madison, Wisconsin. The debaters won three out of six debates in competition. As only one of the de- baters was a senior, next year's debate team should be even more successful. I'ag.te Twenty-six ORATORY DRAMATICS Forensics, or spring speech, interested many stu- dents this year. Forensics differs from other activi- ties in that the students participate as individuals rather than as teams or groups as they do in debate and drama contests. - Twenty-five people took part in the local elim- ination contest which included activities in extem- poraneous speaking and reading, oratory, and humor- ous and serious declamatory. The league contest was held at Lake Mills where our contestants received four A's and five's B's. A winners attended the district contest at Fort Atkinson. Anyone receiving an A rating at this contest at- tends the state contest, which is the final contest in the spring forensics.
