AS we have suggested several
times since the beginning of the
school year, there is nothing the mat
ter with the student body of DEBORAH
High School. This was evidenced
when the team returned from Cresco
on Saturday.
The students do not lack in spirit.
They have that loyalty and interest
that Is characteristic of the DEBORAH
schools. They get behind everything
pertaining to the upbuilding of the
school and boost for all they are
worth.
The next debate will be held in
DEBORAH on Feb. I'd with Forest City.
The DEBORAH team will once more
support the negative side of the
CLOSED Shop" issue.
