ing by all present followed. Our High
School Orchestra played series on
popular and classic selections. The
program closed with the singing of
the 'Star Spangled Banner" All re-
ported an enjoyable time.
The matinee party, given under the
auspices of the Students Council was
voted a success by all. The music was
supplied by ladies orchestra of three
from Milwaukee. The players were
decidedly versatile as each woman
played two or three instruments al
ternately. Madames Kennedy, Robin
son and Kolb acted as chaperones.
Rev. Turkuerst, of Milwaukee, was
the speaker at the Hi-Y meeting last
Thursday. His subject was Ere
sponsibility." We hope the Hi-Y will
profit by his lecture.
The Twentieth Century Debating
Society and the Lincoln Society held
their monthly meetings Friday, March
3. Very interesting debates were on
their respective programs according to
reports.
"Doug" Mclean in the Rockies Re-
turn" and Community Singing fur

The Waukesha game last Saturday
was attended by the biggest crowd
this season. Soon after o'clock the
gyms quota of $50 people was filled.
Some fifty people were turned away.
For the first time in years a girls
basketball game was held here. Our
local team played the New Butler girls
and came out on the long end of the
scoring. Our second team lost to
Waukesha by one point, the score be-
ing to 10. The Waukesha first team
carried off the honors also, the final
score being Ia to 20. Both teams
played a clean and fast game. The
Waukesha and home rooters acted in
a tone of friendly sport in every re
spect. We hope all future teams will
follow their example. To all who
craved nourishment. Sundayethes were
sold for the benefit of the Junior Prom
This game completes the home sea
son. Our next games are out of town
The military company met as usual
last Wednesday. Capt. Jacobs was
absent due to an inspection in the ar
mory in Milwaukee of members of the
cavalry. Lieutenants Schmidt and
Kolda were left in command.
For the first time in sly years, we
have debating team. Tuesday night
the question, Resolved: That the Re-
duction of National Armaments to a
Status of Adequate Police Forces
Within a Period of Ten Years is Prac-
ticable, was debated here and at Wau-
kesha.
/ The judges at the local high school
were Attorney G. E.. Morton, Judge O.
H. Breidenbach, and Attorney c. B..
Rix, all Of Milwaukee.
The coaches were Miss Haug, Miss
Stone and Mr.. Brendel.
Our negative team, Virgil Steele,
Doris Alborn and Monroe Toussaint,
which travelled to Waukesha, although
it failed to gain the decision of the
| judges, did very well, and in the esti-
mate of many of those present de-
served to win. In this debate the
Waukesha team defended the popular
side of the question and in close de-
bate this is always a strong factor in
determining the winners. We are not
discouraged but hope for more favor
able decision next time.
The affirmative team supported by
Edward Thomas, Forest Fottler, and
Howard Kalupske debated creditably
in the local high school. Although
they also lost the verdict of the judges,
1--we feel that we are justified in being
proud of our team.
The various state teams had been
selected as early as last November.
Wauwatosa did not decide to enter the
debate until month ago. Next year,
with longer time for preparation, we
shall be able to meet our opponents on
fairer basis.
We hope that the efforts of our fu-
ture debating teams will be more fully
recognized and appreciated by a
larger attendance.
