In the rebuttals our boys proved
the superiority of a masculine mind
in the quick and logical organization
of thoughts. Max Daskam and Ira
Melaas finished just inside of their
allowed five minutes. None OF the
Usage speakers finished. mainly be-
cause they hesitated and showed
poorer ability in rebuttal than in
their main speeches Cecil Johnson did
not finish; he barely informed us
that he admired his opponents work
of art when he was called for time,
and left us wondering what further
he would have said about it.
The debate was interesting through
out; many things of general interest
were brought to the attention of the
audience. While we are glad to re-
port that it was a victory for c. H.
S., we can also say that our visitors
we'll deserved the title of worthy
opponents" Their arguments, their
delivery and the spirit in which
they contested and with which
they accepted their defeat, all do
credit to themselves, their coach, Miss
Harrison, and to the high school
which they represented.
