Friday, March i6, will occur
the annual debates with Denison
and Woodbine. This is the last
lyear of the three-year contest for
1.-THE possession of the silver cup.
To date Denison and Missouri
valley have tied. 1t is absolutely
necessary for Missouri Valley to
win both debates this year. We
won them last year and can do it
lagain.
However. we have a number of
adverse circumstances to over
come. Our affirmative team de-
bates at Denison, a much more
difficult place to speak than
|Woodbine. Woodbine will send
her stronger team here, keeping
her weaker team at home TO meet
Denison. Woodbine will have a
team here this year that will far
outclass any debating team that
have ever visited this city.
We are glad to have, to meet
these circumstances, six capable
debaters. John Rae, Otto Chal-
oupka and Howard Johnson will
he sent to Denison. Raymond
Curry, Earl Tamisiea and Glenn
Ball will meet Woodbine here.
Any one of these men already has
the ability and training to put up
an interesting argument. They
all are now earnestly engaged in
preparing for the greatest loren
sic struggle in the history Of this
high school. Remember this con-
test will occur the evening of Fri
day, March 16, in the auditorium
Iof the high school. Make your
plans to be there.
