This year during regular meetings the
Debate Club met with its sponsor, Mr.
Joswick, to discuss the procedures and
oratorical rules of debating.
The members acquired respect for
facts and contempt for invalid conclu–
sions. Knowing that o bono fide conclu–
sion is not drown until each side of the
issue has been effectively presented,
both teams put forth greater effort to be
victorious. Hence, they gained o com–
prehensive knowledge of political, eco–
nomic, and social problems. Through
logical reasoning the participants also
learned thot big problems ore not solved
easily.
Upon receiving their charter from the
NFL, the debaters could earn from two
to eight points for each round. Pins were
presented to those who totaled twenty·
five points or more.
