I T n F, p o ! N T !K R Th any interest in either debating or public speaking in the school. It is high time a school as large as ours should arrange outside contests in debates. We have a letter from the Literary club in Durham stating that they are anxious to debate us. In fact they tried to get High Point in their triangular debate. Lexington is only too willing to debate us. Are we going to stand back and not accept these challenges from Durham and Lexington? No! we must learn to debate and accept these challenges. The Oratio club has started the ball rolling. We .hope that a great number of students will accept our challenge, in this way we will stimu late debatiny interest. C’mon students debate! It’s great fun! —Joe Smoak. SPEAKING OF DOORS You are sitting comfortably before a fire, and in the middle of a good story when somebody somes in the room. A little place on the side of your leg begins to grow cold, then a bigger place. In a minute you look around. “Who left that door open?” you yell, closing it with a slam. An aggravating thing, though piall it seems, is this thing of go ing in or out of a room and leaving doors standing open. The day is damp and windy. In the drug store you stand hugging a ladiator. In rushes some fellow and in a careless way gives the door a si mg. It fails to latch and the cold air begins pouring in. “Hey, you countryman, were you raised in a barn?” you inquire, much to his embarrassment. But ten chances to one the next time he goes through a door he will leave it stand ing even wider open than before. —^Ted Thompson.
