DEBATE

The interscholastic debate between
Franklin High School and Mountain
Home High School took place last
Friday evening, April 9. The ques-
ton for debate was: Resolved that
the United States should recognize
the Soviet Government of Russia inn
mediately. The affirmative side was
taken by Russell Vance, Charles
Helm and William Wheeler of our
High School and the negative was
taken by Lucien Boyenger, Charles
stevens and Paul Monroe from
Franklin The judges decided two
to one in favor of the negative.
The loss of this debate should not
discourage us for this was our first
attempt at debating with team
from outside our own town. Our
team put up splendid arguments and
brought forward fine rebuttal.
Let us look forward to the future
with anticipation. Let us back our
team and let it know we are inter-
ested in its success.

The Uniform Entrance Test was
devised by the Standing Committee

pire Council OF Teachers of English.
1t was the intention Of the Commit

fish. 1t. was the intention of the
committee to have it administered
in every higher institution in the
Northwest and it has received en-
thusiastie cooperation from most OF
those schools.
The Committee expects the Uni
form Test to be useful In three ways.
"a 1t will enable each higher in
stitution to detect those students
who must have additional training
in those minimal essentials which
should have been taught in the
grades and the high school; (2) 1t
will enable the public schools to
evaluate their own work in those
fundamentals; CD It will assist state
inspection officers to place the
schools under their jurisdiction and
to make helpful suggestions for i'm
provement.

the list is evidently on an equal with
the standards of the other schools of

Some of the students in our high
school have expressed dissatisfaction
with our school and have desired to
go to larger places. They did not
believe that Mountain Home was on
a standing with the larger schools
because it is small According to
this report, Mountain Home is on a
level with the best school in the state
and was approved by the association
before some of the larger schools be-

ATHLETICS

Most everybody in and outside OF
the school are aware of the fact that
we have two excellent tennis courts.
There was not much interest shown
by any of the town people, until
the backstops were constructed.
1t is planned to leave the tapes
down and let the nets be available
all summer - provided there is
enough interest taken in tennis IL
will be a fine thing if there is enough
interest shown so that the courts
will be in use all summer.
If the interest keeps on increasing
as it has in the high school we may
need some more courts. Every night
brings new players to learn the game.
