desires to thank the High School
for the roasting" they gave us
last Friday night in the Literary
Society, by so boastfully referr-
ing to their "close shave" vic
tory in the Annual Debate q week
ago. But: He who fights and
runs away, may live to fight an
other day." So we serve notice
on them that we have an open
session next Friday night, 18th,
and perhaps the Normal pupils
will have something to say in re-
sponse to the big sayings" Of
the High School Gang. Every.
body is invited. No: admission
fee.
On last Saturday night the
Students Club met in the Norma
Room and held a debate, the

Washington deserves more credit
for defending America than Co.
lumbus does for discovering it. -

H. E. Ferguson and jim. Ken
naird; Negative, John Cantrill
and Genus Franklin. The Judges
were: W. H. Gevedon, 1. 7. How
ermale andJ. 7. McGarvey. The
decision was in favor of the
Affirmative.
The teacher of the Norma
room was relieved OF the care OF
the house during the debate by
the kindly agreement Of his old
friend, Capt. H. G. Cottle to pre-.
sided as chairman of the debate.
He did his work so efficiently
and with such hearty good will
that we feel that he has many
more such happy(?) evenings
before him.
We wish to thank the large
: audience for. their very good be
