Debate On Woman Suffrage

Two debates have been held the
past week in Mr. Sanders civcs class.
es. Thursday morning a debate was
held Oh woman suffrage and again
Friday afternoon this subject was
discussed. This debating comes right
along with the work in civics. Aside
from this, these debates were held
with the idea of creating interest in
debating among high school students.
Even in these minor debates the stu
dent gets an idea Of the good results
which come from debating. If sufIic-
lent interest can be created, the stu
dent will have desire to try out for
the debate teams next year. Later on,
the civics classes will debate on cap
ital punishment and subjects of local
interest.

SCHOOL NOTES
Track and Tennis Teams

As the high school In this city was
well represented n number OF years
ago In both foot ball and basket ball
the idea was conceived of putting
forth base ball team to represent
the high school and to schedule games
with surrounding cities. This was
taken up with very eagerly at first
and an excellent team was put on the
field. However, the students didn't
support base ball, although they had
one of the finest teams in the state.
with the result that this form of atb.
letics had to be dropped. Since that
time, there has been considerable
talk each year of having track and
tennis teams. No action was taken
on the matter, however, until this
year.
1t Is now planned to have track
team to represent the high school
this year and to hold track meets
with other cities. Immediately after
vacation, Coach Hagaman will get to
work with all track aspirants and test
| each ones ability along this line.
Later on team will be chosen and
meets will probably be held with
Mansfield and Newark. Still later in
the year, Mt. Vernon will, in all prob.
ability, be represented in the Ohio
| high school track meet which is held
in Columbus each year. There is an
abundance of good track material in
the high school, and providing team
| is sent to Columbus to compete in
the tournament held in that city. Mt.
| Vernon should certainly be well rep
resented. If any high school fellow
| thinks he can do track Stunts" he
should practice this coming week in
preparation for the "try out" which
will occur in the course of the next
| few weeks, and help Mt Vernon be
well represented in that tournament
at Columbus.
Now, as to the tennis team. This is
the first year that anything has been
done in the high school to establish
such team and the effort should be
well supported by the student body.
1t is planned to hold an elimination
tournament about the first of May.
All high school students are eligible
TO enter this tournament. 1t will de-
termine the best tennis players in
high school and then games will be
scheduled with Mansfield and New
ark. Also, it has been planned to
have class teams hold class tourna-
ment to determine which class is
superior along this line. Champion
ship tournaments will be held in both
singles, doubles, and mixed doubles.
