Mo Valley Wins

The debating team of the
Missouri Valley high school
wins another unanimous victory.
In both argument and delivery
in the debate last Friday even
ing at Tabor our boys were at
all times far in the lead. The
Tabor boys argued in the main
along the line of thought as set
forth by our boys in the debate
on the negative side three
weeks ago at this place against
Dennison. Our boys, however
were able to meet their points
to the entire satisfaction of the
judges.
Three weeks from last Fri
day night our team will meet
the team from the Bedford
high school. This debate Will
close the district series ard
will determine the district
championship. This debate
will be looked forward to with
much interest, as two years
ago the final contest was be-
tween these two schools. An
effort will be made to have the
debate at this place. but this
cannot be determined till it is
known which side each team
will have.
Much credit is due the team
and the coach for the excellent
work done along this line. The
excellent training last year un-
der the insistent direction of
Mr.. Redman, and the definite
work this year of Mr.. Pedley
have made a team trained and
prepared to present a logical
and convincing argument. The
high school and its patrons
may we'll be proud of the boys
and their work. "They're all
right" ''Who're all right"
"They are, McGavren, Herman,
Tormey."
The Tabor boys were good
losers. They acknowledged
their defeat and admitted they
were fairly beaten. At the
close of the debate the Junior
class of the Tabor high school
gave a reception to the out of
town people connected with the
debate, the debaters, the judg-
es and the Valley teachers pre-
sent. This was a most pleas
ant affair and showed the kind
ness and good will of the de-
feated people. Refreshments
were served by members of
the class, impromtue toasts
were made by debaters, teach
ers and judges. The debate
and evening will long be re-
membered by those present.
