origienally dated for Saturday, Feb-
ruary 2nd, was postponed to Wednes-

en in the latter part of January, but
on account of the epidemic of influ-1
enxa, it was postponed until Febru-
ary, 8th. Again it has been poet-
poned on account of the inclement
weather and other adverse conditions.

A Caldwell negative debate team,
consisting of Newell Johnston and
Justin Hilliard, Won from Eaglo
Lake on January 18th, Friday eve-
ning at Eagle Lakeu
The affirmative, consisting of Wai-
ter Hilliard and Albert Mikoska, lost
their debate.
The debate seemed rather one
sided, because one of the judges said
he would vote for the negative everv
time. The Caldwell teams spoke ex-
tempore, but the Eagle Lake beam
read their speeches off from notes.
The teams had a very nice trip go-
ing and coming. Miss Peck, the de-
bate coach, furnished the car to make
the trip.

MINSTREL TO BE
The colored minstrel which is to

The "Middle Man" or interlocutor
is no one but the drum beater, senior
class president, and president of the
National Forensic League Chapter
of Caldwell, Willie Kocurek.
The t'wo end men, which carry on
most of the joking, is the largest
person in the land, Newell Johnston,
and one of the smallest, Albert Por-
ter.
More definite facts about the time,
cast, etc., will be published in next
weeks issue of the paper.
ARCHERY CLUB~ORGANIZED A-
MONG BOY-GIRL SCOUTS.
By Oacar Sebeata
For a graduating class to be com-
posed of a majority of boys is sn
unusual occurence. In this year's
graduating class the boys out number
the girls by seven. The total num-
ber of prospective graduates is s-
bout twenty eight; eighteen boys and
ten girls.
The senior class has been unfor-
tunate in losing one of its fair mai-
dens during the Christmas holidays,

HIGH 8CHOOL DEBATORS DE-
FEAT EAGLE LAKE.
By Albert Mikeska
Caldwell represented by Justin
Hilliard and Newell Johnston won a
debate from Eagle Lake, securing a
two to one decision for the negative.
Earlier in the evening, Walter Hil-
liard and Albert Mikeska, represent-
ing the affirmative had lost to Eagle
Lake also by a two to one decision.
The Caldwell debaters had Eagle
Lake far outclassed. The Caldwell
debaters spoke extempore, while the
Eagle Lake debaters read off their
speeches and also their rebuttals.
The question seems rather one sided,
one of the Judges himself declaring
that he could not help voting always
for the negative.
The debaters reported a very de-
lightful time besides the interesting
debate.

Brother Wilson highly compliment-
ed the equipment and organisation of
the school ,telling Supt. McDonald
thst the Caldwell School was far
superior in those respects to the
larger schools with Which he was
