Debate Club debaters compile record winnings

Active in ten tournaments during the first semester, the Debate Club compiled a record of 157 wins and only 82 losses. The club won 13 trophies, including sweepstakes honors at the Texas Tech and East Central State tournaments. The team captured second at the SMU Debate during the fall. Each month the club had a "Debate of the Month." usually on a topic that was of current interest.

In March the club planned to entertain the Japanese National title holders in debate. The club was to compete in seven additional meets in Texas, Oklahoma and Mississippi. In mid-April the club was to attend the National Novice Championships.
