The stoutest of my foes.
But. heaven defend me from
the friend
Who comes— but never
goes!

(From The Pirate)
Although it seems rather early
to be considering events which will
take place at the Interscholastic
League Meet in March if we do not
start right away we will be “left
in the cold” after the contests.
Last summer a group of three
students from Oxford University in
Oxford England, landed in New
The party composed a de-
bating team an dits manager, and
it was here for the purpose of de-
bating American University and
and College teams on the statement
that “Pariamentary government is
more adaptable to the wants and
needs of the people than America’s
Congressional form." They were
rather successful in their arguments
and consequently caused much in-
terest to be aroused throughout the
nation.
In choosing the question for High
School Interscholastic debating for
1929, the National League Commit-
tee decided unanimously on this
question brought over from Oxford
University. It wttl be very inter-
esting to follow this question and
see which one gets the more fav-
orable decision, for it is really a
very interesting and well-balanced
question.
In Sinton High School the de-
bating will be in charge of Mr. F.
H. Harrison and R. G. McDaniel,
two well-qualified members of the
faculty. There have already been
several students who expressed
their intention of signing up for
debating and many others are ex-
pected. Let’s sign up now and put
Sinton High over the top next
Spring.
