SPECIAL BRINGS
STUDENTS HOME.
Fifteen-Coach Train From Spokane
Brings College Members
Back for Holidays

Last Friday evening three big en-.
gines pulled fifteen coaches of stud.
ents into the station at Kennewick,
Frost and snow which covered the
special student train seemed to make
little difference to the students in
side for they were showing every
sign Of enjoyment. Singing, dane
ing, instrumental selections of DON.
ular music, and laughter were some
of the signs that they were happy
that they were nearing their homes
and also that the trip home was not
q lonesome one.
The special which was made up in
Spokane picks up all college students
from Washington State College and
distributes them anywhere from Pas
co to Seattle. It carries nothing but
students. From reports by some of
the Kennewick students, the trainmen
thought that was plenty.
Students from the college that re-
turned on the special to Kennewick
and Pasco were: jeanette Hunting
ton, Winifred Huntington, Howard
Beste from Kennewick; Kenneth Bat
tin and De Kane Shelby from Pasco.
Donald Cresswell arrived Friday noon
on the O-W. r. & N. train. Eric Wal.
dorf and Phil Hitchcock drove from
Pullman in an automobile. All indi-
cations show that the students are
glad to see the old town once again,
and also that the old town is glad
to have them back for the holidays.

HIGH SCHOOL NEWS

JUNIOR-SENIOR DEBATE

Il
After an exciting battle of forty.
five minutes duration, the debators
representing the junior class, namely;
Ardice Sheppard and Cecil Hudloe
fell before the sweeping eloquence
of Geraldine Atkinson and Harry
Pearson, seniors.
This debate, which took place last
Friday afternoon, was the first Of a
series of inter-class debates to be
held in the high school. The question
under fire was: Resolved that the
United States Supreme Court should
have the right to declare legislation
passed by congress, unconstitution-
al. The seniors had the affirmative
while the juniors defended the mega
tive of the question. The arguments
for and against were very interesting
as it was one of the questions widely
read and discussed during the recent
national election.
Now that we are speaking of de-
bates, I just wonder if any one is
curious regarding the next inter-
school debate to be held in Kenne-
wick. Well it is sad, sad story, but
it doesn't come off until sometime
in March.
It seems there is q rule which pro-
hibits schools from having more than
four debates per term. This think
is certainly to be deplored as two de-
bates at home are not enough to
arouse enthusiasm even among those
that enjoy them.
The thing can't understand is why
if debates are fine thing land we
all know they are), we don't have
