CLIFTON LOSES INTERDISTRIcT CHAMPIONSHIP DEBATE TO
 DOUGLAS

 DOUGLAS
 The debate between the Clifton and Douglas High Schools which was held last Saturday night at Tucson, was won by Douglas with a decision of two to one. Owing to the fact that the | decision was not unanimous we feel that our time in trying for the state championship was not wasted and hope that next year we will have a 1 chance of winning
 l On account of late train the teaf consisting of Edith Overman and Robert Dunagan and the coach, MT. 1 Halberg, arrived in the city barely in time to keep from forfeiting the de- bate. Certainly a twelve-hour trip with no rest at the end is not very conducive to good debating and con | sidering the fact that our opponents were more fortunate in the time of their arrival, than we weres the affair was not very representative of our team and it's previous work
 The debates of this year were held at the expense of the Student Body and it is now up to us to pay the debt incurred. A dance is being planned to bear this expense and it is hoped that the public will give us the splen- did support which they have given to High School activities.
 The acquiring of the Eastern Ari- zona Championship held by Clifton is quite an achievement. Debating is feature which is upheld by all edu- cational institutions and should ther- fore be maintained in the Clifton High School. It seems to us that the Board would do well to help finance ! dnhatinQ in tho f11fr1 h., has become regular part of the cur riculum.
 Chautauqua Ticket Sale
 As in all other competitions, the Junior Class won the first prize offered by the Chautauqua guarantors for selling the most Chautauqua tickets. The evening class in Mechanical Drawing will be discontinued until next fall. The number of counter ac- | tivities and approach of warm weath- CT has made it necessary to drop the work for the time being. The class has done exceptionally good work and the instructor wishes to thank the mem bers for cooperating in making it a successful venture.
 The finished drawings may be had by those who will call for same at the commercial room of the Clifton High School.
 The Domestic Science Department wish to express their thanks to those of the High School who co-operated with the in making their Box Party a success.
