Local enthusiasm over the debate
situation was decidedly keen last
Friday night when Caldwell won the
home debate by decisions of two to
one. At Emmett, however, Caldwell
lost to Emmett by two to one. This
gave both Caldwell and Emmett three
out of six judges in the two debates,
The fact that Caldwell has won both
previous debates, however, evidently
entities her to the championship Of
Southwestern Idaho. Both Northern
Idaho and Southeastern Idao are in
the debate league this year and it is
impossible to say at this time what
school must be debated next. On
this Friday night the championship
of Southeastern Idaho will be determ-
med. Information relative to the sit
uation in Northern Idaho is wanting.
Many of the students were decid-
eddy anxious to participate in the holi-
day occasion declared by Mayor Tur-
ner. The board was of the impress
sion, however, that to close the
schools would result in little or no
benefit to the road building cause
and in no marked benefit to the well
fare OF the school work. Hence ad-
journment wos not made.
The high school debate team was.
unfortunate in losing Arthur Baker.
who was compelled to leave to finish
HIS apprenticeship work as a steam.
hitter: Inc position was difficult
one for Arthur. To remain to finish
the debate work would have caused
him to lose his previous credits as an
- Il -
time, however, compels him not only
to lose the remainder of his school
year but to sacrifice the pleasure in
Cident, to the work of a debate meet
which has been thus far victorious.
arthur expects to return to school
another year.
Plans are on foot for the framing
of the numerous pictures given to the
school by the Ladies' Forward club.
These will add much to the aesthetic
appearance of, the school rooms and
are genuinely appreciated by the
teachers and pupils. The local fur
niture stores have agreed to do the
work at practically cost. We are also
especially grateful for this.
The Lincoln corps of teachers are
putting on an evenings entertain
ment, the profits of which will 90 to
the fund to be used in the payment
tor their piano. They are working
assiduously and the teachers report
that the program promises to be a
good one.
The Board of Education was unable |
70 meet last Monday night to COM
plcte the reelection of teachers, ow-
ing to the fact that it was impossible |
to get quorum. The amount of work |
to be done by the school board at |
this season of the year is considera- |
Bile and number of extra meetings |
are usually necessary. At the last I
meeting the board was compelled to |
adjourn without finishing the matter
Of election of teachers. The report |
in the local papers last week relative |
to the teachers who have been reject
ed may have been misleading in that |
some one may have interpreted it as
meaning that the teachers whose |
names did not appear there were not
deemed worthy of reelection. This,
however, was not the case, as stated |
above. 1t was a case of unfinished |
business. 1t is due to the other |
teachers that this explanatory state |
ment be made. However, it is not
intended to cast reflection on the local |
editors.
In the local contest held to select
a candidate to represent Caldwell in |
the state decamatory contest, Miss
Daphne Gowen was the successful
candidate and Lucille Robson was
selected as alternate.
The indications that Caldwell will |
get the Southern Idaho Track meet
are still encouraging. This meeting |
will be held about the middle of May. |
Our high school boys voted to enter |
track and field work They are not
entering the baseball league though |
they may do some baseball work. |
Caldwell with three entries took third |
place in the Southern Idaho meet last |
year. 1t is too early to predict what
the outcome of her track and field |
work will be this year but it ought to |
be possible to put out good track |
and field team. The local Commercial |
club and the Fair association have de-
clared their cooperation to the end of
securing this state track meeting.
The matter Of filling the vacancy |
on the debate team has been given
considerable attention. The debate |
team and their coach, Mr.. North, have
been anxious to make the team as
strong as possible and have kept in
mind only one thing, namely, the sue
cess of the further work, and what
ever appointments are made have
been made with that end in view.
