o. III. S. DEBATE
Participated in By Members of
The American History Class

The American History Glass of the
Oakland High School participated in
an interesting debate on Tuesday
morning, December II, at which time
the debaters, selected by Miss Kath-
crime Conley, teacher of this class,
did their subject entire justice and
Miss Conley is to be commended for
her selection of the debaters.
The subject for discussion was:
(Which was the greater man, Thomas
Jefferson or Alexander Hamilton ?"
The pro-Jetferson debaters were
Henry Hamill, Harold Reams and FL
eanor Townshend. The Hamilton sup
porters were Graydon Lewis, Mar
shall Brown and George Littman.
Messrs. Lewis and Hamill gave the
rebuttal, which was well delivered. The
Jefferson side won, but it certainly
was close debate, viewed from all
angles and the arguments advanced
by both sides were so we'll chosen and
so nicely put that it was indeed a
task for the judges to decide, the
judges being Miss Ruth Conley, Mrs.
J. C. johnson and Prof. Frank Aston.
The debaters showed much spirit
throughout and their attitude was a
favorable point in the debate.
We hope to have more debates from
this as we'll as other classes that this
splendid teacher. has charge of and
that the future debates will prove as
interesting and as beneficial as this
one has.
The writer wishes in this way to
compliment all. those that in any way
participated III this debate and also
to express his appreciation of the
many good points submitted in the
debate that help to uplift the char
acters of these two much respected
statesmen and patriots,

characteristics Of the individual and
