The Inter-High School Debaters

The High Schools of the county and
state are debating the question of
"closed and open shops" this year.
The exact wording is: Resolved that
the closed shop would benefit the ma
ton as a whole"
Two debating teams are selected by
the faculty of each high school; each
team is comprised of two pupils. The
home teams are: affirmative, Grady
Finch and Dorothy Beachley; mega
tive, Katharine O'Toole and Carroll
Tyson. The Delta Sigma Society may
feel proud of herself as all debaters
are members of the society. This is
indeed great honor.
The Thurmont affirmative team de-
bates the Boys High School of Fred
erick at the T. H. S. on April Z, the
same evening on which the negative
team will debate the Girls High
School at Frederick.
The coaches, Mr.. Stull and Mr..
Duff, are putting the debaters to work
That they may "bring home the bacon"
is our heartiest wish for them.
And by the way, folks, let's come to
back up the teams and cheer them on
to victory. Don't stay at home and
say T'm not interested inthat debate"
This topic is a public issue that will
have to be solved one way or the
other very soon by the country, and if
YOU are convinced that one side is
right, come and hear the argument of
the other side. There's two sides to
every question, you know. Then, too
the team that goes to Frederick needs
to have confidence in itself too. If
you're in Frederick that day, stay and
go to the debate. Let's change the
fate of last year. Instead of losing
both debates let's win them. We can
with your help!

The Coming of The Spring

1t is nearing the season when nature
awakens, when the flowers shoot from
the ground, and the birds come back
to their summer homes. Already ten
der plants are shooting forth, the grass
is growing green, birds twitter in the
caves, calling from sleep the tender
flowers, telling them "tis time to wax
en-" On every hand there is the
dawning of new life.
The children also herald the ap-
proach of spring. The girls are skat-
ing, playing with their rubber balls,
and engaging in all sorts of outdoor
games. The boys are shooting mar
bles, playing baseball and doing var
ious other things. These all show that
they have gotten the spirit of the
season of spring"
Is there one who doesn't long for
this season? "If such there breathes,
go mark him WELL" There are many
who feel the call of spring; catch the
spirit and love it. Parents and grand
parents seek the open road and the
shelter of the woods. Men go to work
with new vim and housewives are
about their spring cleaning.

THURMONT HIGH SCHOOL
Sprinp Athletics at T. H. S.

Spring Athletics at L. II. ).
With the advent of warmer weather,
baseball fever has become an epidemic
at the High School. So strong is the
fever that a meeting of all candidates
for the nine was held last Monday I'M
der the direction Of j. s. Duff, the
coach of the team this year.
Quite number of candidates re-
ported, asking for try-out for the
team. Several were members OF last
years nine, some were scrubs of last
season, while still others are newcom-
ers altogether. Members of last years
team who reported this year included
Harbaugh, Williar, Tyson, Foreman
Leatherlan, Weller, Boiler, Joy, Late,
Knott, and Finch.
A number of the scrubs and also the
newcomers are believed to be very
promising and it is felt that, since we
have the best coach in the country, Mr..
Duff, our prospects for this season are
unusually bright. Practice will COM
mence as soon as the field has dried
sufficiently.
The complete list of candidates for
the team are: Pitchers, GilmerWilliar,
Charles Knott, John Boiler, and War
rem Weller. Catchers Edward Fore
man, John Pryor, Horace Late, and
Robert Firor. Infielders, Lee Martin,
Austin Joy, Charles Knott, and Grady
Finch. Outfelders, Carroll Harbaugh,
Carroll Tyson, Howard Rouzer, John
Leatherman, Shaffer Bailey, Ellis
Frushour, Warren Weller, Allen Crea-
ger, Ralph Hartman, Charles Hahn,
John Boiler, Robert Firor, Marshal
Leatherman, Donald Fraley and John
O'Connor.
A great interest is also being taken
in basket ball, but due to the fact that
we started rather late, we were unable
to schedule any games except between
the two rival literary societies.

Noted Signs of Spring


AS soon as our brides
Hear the north wind blow,
They spread their tiny wings
And leave the land of snow.
But CHEEKY ringing note
From a dear melodious throat,
Tells us spring is surely here,
Bringing things so very dear.
With their flashes of blue and yellow
Coming back to pipe their mellow
Tunes for us on every day,
Are the Oriole and Jay.
Swiftly darting over head,
Is our friend with bosom red; =.
Pipe away you bonny bird,
Sweeter song | never heard.
Blackbird, you're funny, fellow,
Your chirp is anything but mellow;
But you couldn't stay away
From land that is so gay.
Between the meadow and sunlit sky
The light-hearted sky-lark circles high
Sudden and loud from elm and fir
Rings the laugh of the wood-pecker.
Little birds / wish you knew
How much we all care for you,
We would dread for spring to come
If it brought you not along.

From The Seniors

From The Seniors
Our school days will soon be over,
And we are beginning to feel blue,
To think that next September
We will be away from all Of you.
We regret that we must part,
But it is the fate of all,
That when one becomes Senior,
He will realize the same old call.
Our first year in High
We were terribly shy.
But of course we felt green,
And tried not to be seen.
In our Sophomore year
We began to feel better,
Knowing that we had to take our part
We stuck to our lessons and did not
lose heart.
Then we as Juniors felt quite happy,
And so began to act real snappy.
We in our classes knew our lesson,
ana never ldlleu or HuSSeu question.
At last we are grave Seniors,
But with you we cannot stay,
So we shall soon bid you adieu,
And be passing on our way.
Then, to one and all our wishes are
Health, prosperity and good-cheer
And trust that you will realize
The same in your Senior year.

The Glee Club

The girls of the High School, under
the direction of Mr.. Stull have organ
lied a glee club. The first practice
was held two weeks ago, and the work
is we'll under way. Everything is
moving smoothly except when the al
tos or sopranos get "off" the tune,
and from present prospects the club
will be a success.
The pieces of music to be used at
commencement and the defamation
contest have already been started, but
when we consider that there are only
two practises a week we can see that
the time will not be overabundant for
learning them. At present there are
twenty-five in the club.
Miss Shipley presides at the piano
and assists Mr.. Stull in the direction
of the club.

Will Thurmont High Come Out On Top

Will ThurmOnt High Come Out IN Top
With the coming Of spring, girls
athletics again form an important
part in the schedule Of the fair men,
bers of the High School group. We
will have at our high school as we had
in the fall, volley and captain ball
teams. Last fall the volley ball team
had schedule identical with that of
the soccer team. Every time our Soc
Ger team played a game our volley
team did likewise. The soccer team
had successful season, but the volley
team a more successful one for it won
the cou'ty championship.
At TINT time we were told that the
captain ball team would have similar
schedule this spring. However, the
other day it was announced that the
captain ball team would not be allowed
to play. Many reasons were given
for this, among them being the eX-
pense of the trips to the other high
schools. Ways were provided COM
paratively easy and with little expense
for the volley team, why then can it
not be done for thecaptain ball team?
Then, as girls athletics are just as
important as boys, fact that has
been proved many a time, and as au-
tomobiles can be provided for the boys,
why can they not be provided for the
girls? Is it just and right to those
girls who went out on the athletic
field and practised captain ball all
last fall, expecting to play series of
games this spring?
Just now interest is being manifest
ed in basket ball. The girls have sue
ceeded in organizing two very good
teams under the training of Mr.. Duff.
Volley ball will be played this spring
between teams of our high school.
On Field Day, generally held some
time in May in Frederick, the volley
team will again fight for the county
championship.
If our high school is to be an Al
school, it is necessary that we take an
active part in girls athletics. Since
girls athletics have been in our high
school we have put winning teams on
the field and we intend to do it again
this spring.

The Defamation Contest

The defamation contest this year
will be held on April Is for the boys,
and on April rs for the girls. Both
meetings will be in the Town Hall.
Everybody is urged to attend these
meetings.
The defamation contest is some
thing to which all the people of Thur
mont will look forward, remembering
that the representative of our high
school last year won second prize at
the State contest held at Annapolis.
That was indeed a great honor for
our school.
The State contest is open to the win
ner in the boys contest of each high
school in the State. There are seven
boys enrolled in this contest so far.
They are: Carroll Tyson, Ralph Har-
man, John Jones, Donald Fraley, Will
lam Sweeny, Lee Martin and John
Pryor. The following girls have en-
rolled: Ethel Birely, Elizabeth Daugh-
erty, Eloise Weant, Katharyn Webster
and Mary Firor.
Is your name in the list? If not,
why not? Being able to deliver a
speech before large audience is not
something to be ashamed of. When
you have conquered once, you have
conquered for always. Why not con-
quer now? More pupils should enter
this contest. Of course only one boy
and one girl can win, but even if you
are not winner you will have tried.

Than never to have tried at ALL"

lege to enter this contest. Are you
