In some schools, debating Is a lead
ing event, as football and basketball
Is In L. H. 8. A few of thoj opinions
about the question: "Shall We Havo
a Debate dub?" are:
Elizabeth Milne, senior: "I think
tho school would profit, by a debate
team." . i (
Dave Stoddard, senior: "I don't
know whether there should be a club
or not, If there are enough students
who like debating I suppose there
should be one."
Helen Melville, Junior: "I'm In fa -I
vor of debating because we don't 'have
many oral English courses and de
bating is profitable as weU as lots of
fun." '
Howard Webb, sophomore: "Yes, I
do ithlnk that It would be good
thing to have a debate club." t
Jane Wright, freshman: "I think
we should have debate In, L. H. S."
Bill Corey, P. Q.: "Debate clubs
teach people to think on their feet,
and keep them in touch with the cur
rent topics of thfl day."
1st Frosh: "Say, is Hughey Irwin a
popular boy?"
.2nd Frosh: "Popular?-.Why when
