will be held in History classes.
Debating week is being held, primarily
to i)lace debating in its ])roper place
among the activities of Greemsboro High
School, and to increase intereM in the
forensic art. It is hoped that next year,
Greensboro High School will lead the
state in debating. Only knowledge of the
subject by the student body and live
interest is needed to i)ut G. H. S. on
the debating map members of the De-
l)ating Club feel. The week is e^ssential-
ly an educational drive for debating.
PROF. WUNSCH DISCUSSES
‘SPEAKING APPEARANCES’
W. R. Wunsch, head of the G. H. S.
dramatic department, spoke to the De
bating Club Friday, April Ki. “Speak
ing Apjiearance was his subject.
"Neatness and (piietness of dress are
imjmrtant," he stated. "The audience
must not be conscious of the siieaker's
clothi!ig. To become a successful speak
er one must ])ossess voice culture and
body control. 'There must be no nervous
gestures. To obtain this control physi
cal fitness is necessary.”
Plans for a debating ]irogram to be
held in chapel were discussed. The sug
gestion was made that the club try to
arrange for a course in ])ublic speaking
next year. A committee to investigate
the matter was appointed upon the be
lief that such a course would be a great
step forward for all interested in this
line of education.

'Ihe werksho]) is devoted to the ad
vancement of the united arts in the
South and is in conjunction with the
Boston School of Fx])ression. W ith a
past of only two years of summer .ses-
Jons, its prospects for the future are
very briglTc.
'This school was founded as a result
of Miss Plonk’s decision that there was
no reason why the South should not have
as large and influential a conservatory
IS the North, and that Asheville was an
ideal idace for such an institution. After
rraduating from and teaching in the
Boston School of Expression, Miss Plonk
indertook the establishment of such a
school in Asheville.
Acting, public sjieaking, pantomine,
vo(.id exiiression, dancing gymna.stics,
harmonic training and music are among
he activities of the school curriculum.

tial evidence almio.” At the reguji^ir
meeting of the Kilties held April 21, the
winners uiiheld the affirmative of the
query.
'The negative streakers ]iresenled strong
arguments based on two major points—
that circumstantial evidence is necessary
and just in seme cases and that some
bolition of circum;-;tantial evidence would
mean the freeing of many guilty and
dangerous criminals. But a unanimous
decision of the judges favored the op
ponents of circumstantial evidence who
denounced its uses as a dangerous and
unjust practice ]iresenting the following
arguments: that circumstantial evidence
has served in many cases to jumish the
innocent for the crimes of the guilty,
that its use is morally wrong, that it is
better to let several guilty men to es
cape uiqmnished than to cause one in
nocent man to suffer, that most of the
courts do not accejit circumstantial evi
dence.
