G.. H. S. Debaters Will
Receive Letters in
Future for Activities

The members of the debating team
of Gardiner high school are to be
awarded letters and certificates for
their years work in the near future
it was announced yesterday. This
will be the first time in the history
of the school that debaters are to be
given letters but it has been thought
for some time that they deserved
them for their interest and activity in
this line of student activity To be ELI
gible for the coveted insignia stu7
dent must enter the debating trialss
and in the finals must rank within
the first six. Gardiner high had
rather hard luck in it's debating
schedule this year, for an elaborate
program had been prepared, the most
extensive the school has had, but
when the school was closed on ac-
count of the scarlet fever epidemic,
it was found necessary to cancel the
entire schedule. Arrangements had
been made to enter the Bates inter-
scholastics and Gardiner high was
paired up with several high schools
in contests that would have proven
extremely interesting, but it was
necessary to give these up also. How
ever debates have been held regu-
larly at different assemblies, and
whenever such contest Is an
nounced the interest in that particu-
lar assembly is very keen and very
few miss it, as an interesting hour
is always enjoyed.
There are at present Is members
in the debating society and they hold
meetings at regular intervals under
the supervision of Mrs. Gwendolyn
p. Smith, English instructor, who
acts as faculty advisor for the So
ciety, and who has been successful
in the establishing and conducting
of debating at Gardiner high. The
members are mostly from the junior
and senior classes, and all are es-
pecially adapted to their work and
have mastered many of the finer arts
of speaking before the public and
any one of them could make very
creditable showing for Gardiner high
at any contest. The present officers
of the organization are, president,
Harold Newcomb of the senior class:
vice president, Elizabeth Harmon, of
the junior class, and secretary, Har-
old McGoff of the Junior class,

Mrs. Thayer Speaks to Current
Events Club

Hallowell Current Events Club had
the pleasure yesterday afternoon of
having as guest and speaker Mrs.
Arthur l.. Thayer of Augusta, who
gave an extremely interesting travel
talk on Wales. The meeting was
held at the home of Mrs. Jane
Sleeves. There was little business
and the club proceeded almost at
once to the program. Mrs. Thayer is
an easy and pleasing speaker and her
material was well chosen. Those
who heard her felt almost as il they
nae. taken the trip with her.
She gave a brief Introductory
sketch of the earlier days of her stay
abroad, then told a little of her ex-
periences in England, before she
went on to Wales, where she was the
guest of relatives and saw the init
mate home life of the country as an
ordinary traveller might not do. She
spoke OF her visit to Marie Corelli's
home and also of the old WEIGH castle
that Patti once made her home. She
gave an interesting anecdote of that
famous singer, who when she sang
incognito for the peasants was never
able to equal her own reputation.
The people OF Wales, their dress,
their food. their schools, their love
Of music and their music festivals,
all were described clearly and vivid
ly The speaker gave an amusing
account of the WEIGH fairies and
their propensity to make things I'M
comfortable for mortals, also the
difficulties one might have in trying
to see them. She described the coun-
try around Ammanford, Duffryn,
and other nearby estates, and took
he- hearers to the laying of WEIGH
corner stone, and the formal tea
drinking that followed. The difficult
ties Of Welsh geographical names.
including the famous descriptive
name of 81 letters, proved amusing
to the listeners. Mrs. Thayer ex-
planned the origin of the term
Prince of Wales" She said that
Edward I, after having conquered
Llewellyn, found the people unwilling
to submit to a prince unless he was
born in Wales. could speak no Eng
lsh and was of stainless life." Ed
