Every member of. the girls squad
who won a letter will graduate in

School team meet this group in an
aIumnae game they will surely meet
a formidable opponent.

the members of the relay team which
was victorious at the Bowdoin Inter-
scholastic meet. These were given

loran, Wallace Donovan and Walter

AT a meeting of the members OF
the boys basketball team Friday,
Francis Fortier was elected captain
for next year. Fortier has PLAYED
regularly this past season and his
work at right guard has been COM
mendable.
The members Of the debating
teams are working hard in prepara-
ton for their coming debates at Lew
iston next Friday night as both the
affirmative and negative teams will
participate. The Bates College De-
batting Council has already made I'D
the Semi finals, and final schedule
but members of competing teams do
not know who their opponents will
be until it is time for them to de-
bate. By virtue of a double victory
over Cony and Gardiner High
schools, the Waterville teams feel
confident of holding their own
against any team in the state.

Much interest has been displayed
in public speaking at the school and
quite few students are anxious to
take part in the State contests. So
many have desired to participate
that it will be necessary to hold tri-
ais next Monday afternoon to deter
mine who shall represent Waterville
High school. Each school is allowed
to send one delegate to take part in
the Spear Speaking Contest to be
held in Portland, two delegates for
the Lyford Contest, held at Orono
on May 18th, and two for the Uni
versity of Maine Contest at Orono
on May 14th.
