Debating fiy Wilbur Hensley Before this year, debating has not been one of the activities of the Winslow High School. However this, our first, year has been marked with notable success. To begin with .there were several entrants for the try-out. Although others showed talent and ability in the forensic art, the judges selected Ewart Day and Hazel Armstrong to represent our school in the inter-school contests. The wisdom of the judges' decision has been fully vindicated by these two debaters. They have won “spurs” for themselves and their school. In every debate they have fully upheld the honor and the reputation of the Winslow High. Debating will Ik easier in the future because of this year’s success. As soon as the debaters were selected they launched into a thorough and systematic study of the question to Ik debated throughout the state. The question was: {esohed: “That the Principle of the Closed Shop Should Ik Adopter! in American Industry.” Our debaters debated both sides of this question and in each debate showed a thorough grasp of the issues involved. The debates throughout were conducted on a high plane, with a discusSion of principles and not technicalities. The first debate was held with Williams at Winslow on January 28. Williams had the Affirmative side and Winslow the Negative. The decision was unanimous in favor of Winslow. The next debate was at Holbrook on February 25. Winslow had the Affirmative and Holbrook the Negative. The judges decider! two to one in our favor. The third debate was held at Prescott on March 20. Prescott upheld the Affirmative and Winslow the Negative. Again the judges decided unanimously for Winslow. This debate made Winslow the champions of the Northern District. With these laurels of victory they proceeded to meet Chandler, the champions of the Central District. This inter-district debate was held at Glendale April 2. The Chandler team had won over Phoenix and the large schools of the Salt River Valley. Our team held its own with Chandler but the decision went against us two to one. Only two schools debated for the state championship. These two this year were Chandler and Tucson. We should take special pride in the fact that in our first year we got within one step of the State Championship debate We were one of four schools in the entire state that got this far. With this high water-mark before us we should keep an eye on the State Championship for next year. The debaters acknowledge valuable assistance given them by Mr. Grover, Miss Hudson, Rev. Gray, and Mr. and Mrs. Gammage. Page Tuenly-tigkt

FRESHMAN CLASS By Iuiretin Bauer CLASS OFFICERS HERMAN WILSON ALICE JOHNSON LORETTA BAUER JOHN CLARK President I 'ice- President Secretary Treasurer The Freshman class of ‘20 21 has been one of the largest classes that has ever entered Winslow High School. W'e entered Winslow High School with the intention of really accomplishing something worth while, but a few weeks later the class which call themselves Sophomores initiated us. They treated us fairly roughly, and later on in the evening tried to poison us. Never-»he -less we all survived the ordeal. As Freshics” are always proud before initiation, this incident taught us that Bride goeth before destruction. But our pride was lowered only temporarily, for as the saying goes, “You cannot keep a good man down. So it was with us. This lK gan to show when the athletic season opened. More members of this class than of any other in school have gone in for athletics, and we feel quite confident that much success in athletics is due to the extraordinary ability of our class. Then too, it is again shown, in the fact that the Captain of the (.iris Basket Ball Team is a Freshie. W’e have given some very interesting programs in the assembly, which everyone said were good. W’e have also given a number of parties in the new Auditorium. The parties were enjoyed by all and everyone will admit that we are splendid entertainers. Next year as Sophomores we expect to lead in all the social, athletic and literary acti%-ities of the school, as well as excelling all previous and succeeding classes which have entered and may enter W inslow High School.
