Medal con..s, at Merlin.

May II, The happy contest band,
accompanied by Mrs. Caldwell, Mr..
and Mrs. Clements, Mrs. Calvert and
Others, went to Merlin. Upon arriv-
ing In our neighboring town we
were met by the faithful president of
W. G. T. u, Mrs. Lanterman, and
others who led the way to the hall
where a fair-sized aud appreciative
audience listened to the recitations
and music which had been prepared
for the occasion. The recitations by
Miss Winnie Paddock and the solo by
Miss Nina Paddock were especially
enjoyed. The contestants did grandly
and the closeness of the contest made
it hard to decide to whom the medal
rightfully belonged and also made the
judges places unenviable. Gladys
Archer could not compete for silver
medal but to make the progrm com.

the crowd came to the depot, having
to wait only few minutes until the
train came and goodnights were

at home. All enjoyed the trip and

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

On the evening OF Wednesday. May
9th, very interesting debate was
held in the H. S. Assembly room.
The question FOR debate was Re
solved. That the government should
own and operate all the railroad, and
telegraph systems of the United
States. The speakers on the affirma-
tive were Randall Hood, Fritz Dean
and Nina Paddock, while those on
the negative were Henry Norton,
Amy Isaacs and Herbert Gilkey. The
debaters on the affirmative had been
chosen in previous debate as the
three best in the First Division
Rhetorical Society Of the High School
and those on the negative as the three
best in the Second Division. The
arguments offered were most interest
ing and instructive and showed
marked ability on the part Of the par
Elephants. To person who came to
the debate entirely unbiased on the
question, it was somewhat difficult to
which side gave the most
proof. The decision Of
the judges. Messrs. Smith. Durham,
and Blanchard was, however, in
favor of the Affirmative. Mr.. Harrison
added zest to the contest by offering
prizes to the two best debaters. The
fortunate recipients were Herbert
Gilkey and Randall Hood, who GER
tainly did excellent work. Amy
Isaacs received honorable mention.
Rev @. o. Beckman of the Methodist
church made the awards with few
appropriate remarks. Misses Bella
Letcher and Lacosta Mangum added
much to the evenings enjoyment bv
piano solos. The audience was small,
though appreciative and it is hoped
that next year the debating league
which has been organized will receive
better patronage
Last Friday, representatives from
the High Schools of Salem, Albany,
Roseburg and Grants Pass met in
Salem for the purpose of organizing a
debating league. The delegates were
Mr.. Conn of Roseburg, Mr.. Rhoten OF
Albany, Mr.. Slater of Salem and Mr..
Harrison of Grants Pass.
At the meeting constitution was
Drawn up and after much deliberation
all the important points were decided
upon. Provisions were made for the
officers of the league, the time aud
place for holding the debates, the Sc
lection of judges, finances, etc. In the
evening reception was given to the
delegates by the teachers and students
of the Salem High School and much
credit is due them for their courteous
treatment. The organization of this
eague will create spirit of friendly
rivalry between the different schools
md will bring us into closer relation
ship with each other in addition to
he benefits that each school will de-
i've from entering into such contests.
Last Friday afternoon a chance was
given to those who had not completed
heir rhetorical work to make up what
vas incomplete. A short but interest
ng program was rendered in which
he members of both divisions OF
'hetoricals took part. The program
of essays, recitations and
character sketches which were all well
given. The last and most interesting
eature of the program was a debate
