The inter-society debating contest closed on June 16 with a debate
between the Winona and Reliance Literary Societies. The question was,
Resolved, That further restriction of immigration is desirable.” The
Winonas were represented by Finette Aspling and Ruth Evans on the
negative. The Reliance were represented by Felix Isadore and Amidee
Juneau on the affirmative.
The chairman was Mr. R. H. Kennedy of Aurora, Oregon.- The
judges were Miss Jones and Miss Cox, teachers in the Salem High
School, and Mr. McAdam of the Willamette University. The beautiful
red silk championship pennant was awarded the Winonas by a unani
mous decision. This was a decided victory, as neither of the girls had
ever before debated. To the Winona critic, Miss Mvrta Randolph, be
longs the credit. It was under her direction that the Winonas took
from the Reliance the championship they had held for years.

Prof. Earl Kilpatrick, principal of Salem High School, gives the fol
lowing report of the Chemawa boys who attended that school during
the past term. Paul Kinninook, also an Alaskan and graduate of 1913,
is attending Willamette University. He, too, is doing good work and
has the respect and confidence of his teachers and classmates. All of
those boys will return to Alaska to engage in salmon fishing during the
summer to earn money to meet their expenses in school next year, as
they expect to return to resume their studies. Such grit and persever
ance as these young men have shown will win success. Prof. Kilpat
rick says: Salem High School counts among its best students those
who have come from Chemawa. We have had during the past year four
boys from there: William Jackson, Louis Paul, Frank Johnson and
Nick Hatch. Every one of these fellows has been a good student and
has made good grades. They have been of much assistance in student
body affairs, especially in the band.
William Jackson brought three years credit from the Broadway High
School of Seattle. He completed his senior year with high honors and
received his diploma of graduation at the Salem Armory on June 5,
1914. Mr. Jackson is well prepared to enter any college in America.’
He has many well-wishers among the students and teachers of the Sa
lem High School who expect to hear of him. His voice and instru
ment will be missed in the band and the German Club next year.
Louis Paul has been taking commercial work, chiefly. His grades
