ington Department of Speech. Be-
fore rendering their decisions, the
judges explained how they judged a
debate and which points counted to-
ward the decision. They also gave
some criticisms to the debators which
should help them in future contests.
The vashon team for the Foster
contest was Louis Schmidt, Geneva
LETTERS, and Dick Slagle. The team
for the Tahoma debste was Lewis
Schmidt, Geneva letters, and Tuckie
Smith.
The debate with Tahoma ended the
present debating season with three
victories, and one defeat. Since the
squad was composed of juniors and
sophomores, we can look forward to a
very successful season next year. Mem
beers of the team deserve special men,
ton for their exceptional ability since
all except Lewis Schmidt were un-
experienced debators.

The office is making a check of the
grades made during the first twelve
weeks of school by all the Freshman.

these grades they have been reduced
to point basis. Five points are given
for an A, three for B, two for c,
none for D, and minus two for an
F. An average is being worked out
for the pupils from each grade school,
1t is hoped that many helpful sug-
gestions will result from this study.
A total number of one hundred
fifty-five books has been checked out
of the library this year. Twenty of
these are classical fiction by such
authors as Dickens, Scott, Cooper, ETC.
Twenty-Five are non fiction on travel,

due to the purchase of new books and
the increased emphasis of all the
teachers on reading for the class
work.
