Track
(By Lois Snyder

High school track work will show
up better than ever this spring.
This is the oppinion of the athletic
coaches. Most Of the boys planning
To enter are veterans. Ted Nicker-
son, Sherman Ducker, Winifred and
Wayne Powell Tim sweigard and
Waiter Schmeeckle will make up the
Raymer team. Schmeeckle is q new
man but promises to add a few points
to Raymer's score. Sweigard has not
appeared to any great extent hereto.
bsse; = the other contestants have a
few points from former years to be
mentioned In their favor. On the
whole Raymer stands a fine chance Of
leading In track this year.

joyable ami worthwhile programs.

Radio
(By Gertrude Fischer)

(By Gertrude Fischer)
The radio class is now ready for
the more practical side Of the course
given by Mr.. Johnson, as up to this
time only the fundamental principles
Of wireless have been studied. The
construction Of a simple receiving
set is well under way and will be
completed In few days Some time
ago the class constructed crude,
but efficient. transmitting set from
which they obtained good. results.
The signals sent by means Of this
set were easily detected. As soon
as the weather permits Mr.. Johnson
expects to set up a transmitting set
and send signals into town over a
distance Of three miles, as he esti-
mates that this set will send fairly
clear signals that distance.
Debate
lBy Helen Macklin)
Don't forget that the Raymer High
School has to debate with Grover
this year. We all remember that
Raymer had the best debating team
last year and we expect to have a
haftor onn fhiu voor
Tie subject for debate this year
is. Resolved, That the United States
should adopt parliamentary form
Of government" This subject is
similar to the one debated last year.
Last year the rules allowed three
speakers and a secretary for debating
team. This year the rules allow only
two speakers. This years rules state
that each school shall have two de-
batting teams, negative and an
affirmative. This gives more Of
the pupils a chance to compete in the
final debate.
Last year We had no trial debates.
This year we have eight pupils who
are trying out for debating. This
gives US chance to have better
team this year than we had last year.
Audrey Lafferty is the only debater
in school that debated last Year.
Wlnifred Powell is promising can
didate. This week four more pupils
are going to try their skill at debat-
ing. After this debate we shall pick
the debaters for the final contest
As we are going to meet Buckingham
March 90, we will have no more
trial debates.
Since the illness Of our friend and
schcolmate, Miss Eliza Ducker, she
has been greatly missed by the men,
bers of the high school. Our SYM
pathy and sincere wishes for speedy
recovery are with her.
