yens Point and Wausau high schools,
proved to be a very interesting and
keenly contested affair. The question,

ported by both sides. The Wausau
team composed of Harry LYMAN, Har-
~ Rylander and Harvey Taylor sup
ported the affirmative side, and the
Point team composed of Lyman Park,
Worth De Foe and Nicholas Gross
argued for the negative. After Two
hours of lively debating the votes OF
the judges were collected, and the re-
suit was victory for the negative by
a two to one vote. Both teams are 10
