The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1922-02-16

The regular assembly last Wednes-
day consisted of a. few songs by the
student body, fire drill and Short
yell practice for the debators, who
were going to The Dalles, and for the
girls and boys basketball teams, who
played here Saturday night.
The first of the preliminary debates
in the mid-Columba section of the
Oregon State Debating League was
held last Friday night, at The Dalles,
Odell and Hood River when two teams
from each high school met the oppos-
ing teams from each of the other two
schools, in debating the question. 'Re-
solved, That the county unit plan of
school administration as passed by the
legislature of 1921 should be adopted
in all counties of Oregon" A team
composed of Kenneth McClain and
Viola Colvin took the affirmative at
The Dalles and were defeated. while
another team composed of James John
son and Opal Walker defended the neg
ative side against the Odell team and
won. The same debate held at Odell
with The Dalles was won by Odell.
BY peculiar coincidence the negative
teams won in all three debates. The
old timers will recall the Friday night
/ literary socials of their youth and
doubtless will welcome their revival in
these inteFscholastic high school de-
bates. Next Friday afternoon at 2.15
the teams who left home last Friday
will debate at home on the same ques-
tion. In addition to this there will be
literary program. The public is cor
daily invited.
Miss Bertha Hunter, Of the high
school faculty, accompanied the de-
batting team to The Dalles last Friday
night.
No meeting of the city teachers was
held this week by Supt. Cannon be
cause of the county institute to be held
February l8 by Supt. Gibson, which
all of the teachers of the county will
attend. This is the institute which
was scheduled three months ago and
postponed because of the November
storm.
&Among many questions that came up
for consideration before the board of
directors at their regular meeting
Thursday night was request from the
junior class, through its president
that permission be granted to hold the
annual junior prom outside the high
school. The matter was tabled until
the next regular meeting. Another
request to hold student body reception
dances after basket ball games was
denied because the number of social
events for the school year had already
been limited to five class and student
body parties.
Miss Bertha Hunter was entertain
ing over the week end her sister. Miss
Jenny Hunter, who is a physical train
ing teacher in the Portland public |
