JUNIORS DRAMATIZING "THE THREE GRACES"TOMORROW NIGHT
The G. H. S. affirmative team,
composed of Maurice Edwards and
Powell Bland, won the Aycock Me
morial Cup for 1935 in the finals of
the statewide debating contest, held
Friday night, April 13 at 8 o’clock
in Memorial Hall at Chapel Hill, IST.
C. By winning the trophy this year,
G. H. S. has captured the cup three
times—a record equalled by Durham
and excelled only by Wilson, who has
won it 4 times. Miss Beasley has
coached every winning team.
In the finals Goldsboro’s affirma
tive met Joe Stone and David Staf
ford, Greensboro’s negative, and re
ceived 4 of the 5 votes cast by the
judges.
The query, ‘Ttesolved, That the
United States should adopt the policy
of extending federal aid to general
public education,” is a significant
public issue.
Dr. Frank P. Graham, president
of the greater University of J^orth
Carolina, addressed the debaters as
sembled in Memorial Hall Thursday
afternoon, at which time the debaters
drew lots as to which hall and at
what time they were to debate. The
sixty-eight debating teams were
placed in 16 divisions. Goldsboro’s
affirmative drew Davie Hall. They
debated with Troy. The negative,
composed of Annie Elizabeth Cow
ard and Dick Helms, drew Peabody
Hall and debated against Wesley
Chapel. Both Goldsboro teams won
Thursday night.
Friday morning the 16 affirmative
teams and the 16 negative teams that
had won Thursday night entered the
semi-finals. The affirmative teams
in Phi Hall . . . gave their main
speeches before 3 judges, and the
negative teams did the same before
3 other judges in Di Hall. The af
firmative of Goldsboro and the nega
tive of Greensboro were selected to
enter the finals.
A concert by the University of
I^orth Carolina Symphony Orches
tra preceded the finals of the debate.

SWEATERS AND FEET
VEX PICTURE POSERS
Here we sit before you smiling
but what did these—smiles cost us?
N'ot so much as you would suppose,
for we had another audience besides
you (the first time), dear readers.
E\erything, it is said, has its ad
vantages and disadvantages, and I
know this to be true in this case (of
the first pictures). Although
we didn’t have to sit and wait for
the sun to make just the right angle,
as they did last year, we certainly
had pouring down rain Avhich didn’t
agree so well with the girls’ curls
which had been twisted up the night
before.
It s strange that so many things
can happen just before a j^icture is
to be made. Shirley began ‘‘hic-
cuping • it seemed as if she wasn’t
going to stop. Mary Graham patted
her cheeks vigorously to make them
rosy. While both of them rolled
down their hose to make anklets,
Adell trotted home and secured her
self a pair.
As we began to pose a crowd be
gan to gather, consisting of Mr.
Johnson, Miss Roark, William Dees,
Maurice Edwards, Willis Denmark,
and ‘Wimpy,” of course Miss Kor-
negay and Mr. Clement were there
too. So Isabell pops up and says,
‘.‘If we charge them all a quarter,
we’ll have enough to pay for our
picture. ’ I didn’t see this in action
