WILLMAR DEBATERS WIN
ANOTHER VICTORY
Negative Team Wins From Morton
Last Friday Thus Getting Into
District Finals.

District Finals.
Miss Marie LANCE and her "debat-
ing girls won another fine victory for
the local high school, last Friday eve
ming, at Morton, when the judges de-
cided two to one in favor of Will
mar, in the inter-high school contest.
The Willmar girls who upheld the
negative side of the argument were
the Misses Evelyn Anderson, Norine
Hawkland and Geraldine Haley. The
question debated was, "Resolved, that
the United States should materially
increase her army and navy arma-
ments." The affirmative side of the
argument was taken by Morton, the
team being composed of Misses Ag-
mes Egerer, Lucy Juneman and Robert
Henton. Both teams presented sound
arguments, in a clear and convincing
manner, there being little to choose
between the teams. The judges were
Hon. Clegart, Attorney Young and
Supt Brainerd of Redwood Falls. Fol
lowing the debate Friday evening, the
teachers of the Morton schools gave
a reception in the high school, in hon
or of the teams.
The victory of the team at Morton
means a chance in the finals for the
district championship, the other con-
testant to have a clear slate being FL
bow Lake. This debate will take
place Friday evening. Feb. II, in all
probability, and Willmar will have a
slight advantage, in that they will de-
fend the negative side of the argu-
ment. Elbow Lake has been debating
the negative side of the question, but
Willmar was fortunate in the draw,
and won their point.
