The most interesting event in tbe school year is the annual debate. Fri. day night an enthusiastic audience as sembled in Central auditorium to hear a discussion of the question: 'Re solved that tbe Constitution of North Carolina should be amended as to al low the Initiative and Referendum in State-wide Legislation. " Mr. F. L. BIythe, principal of Con cord High School, in a few well chos en remarks explained the origin and purpose of the North Carolina De baters7 Union. ' This was organized last year by the Phi and Di Socie ties of the University of North' Car olina. At the same hour the students of one hundred and fity high schools of North Carolina were debating the same question. Concord had the affirmative and was represented by Miss Lillian Es telle Holt and Mr. Buford Black welder, while Statesville had the neg ative and was represented by Miss Margaret Louise Kirk and Mr. Henry Cowles Bristol. All the speeches showed deep 11 . 1 ,1 1 - mougni, mucn researcn and a won derful amount of careful prepara tion. The delivery was almost fault less and would have done credit to students of maturer years and much wider experience. Certainly each school has cause to be proud of the showing made. Not until the votes were counted could the result be known The re sult was 3 to 2 in favor of States ville. Judges: Dr. J. M. Grief, Prof. W. G. Caswell, Mr. J. F. Goodman and ,Mr. G. Ed Kestler. A most enjoyable part of the pro gramme was the music. This' was furnished by Miss Atkins, Misses Janie and Nannie Lee Patterson, and Messrs. Brower and Patterson. After the decision of the judges was announced the high school stu dents made a bee-line for the long distance office to await the news from Salisbury,; where. : Lena Hall Fisher and Walter Eugene Furr represented the negative for Concord. It soon eame unanimous in favor of Concord. The Statesville team heard that their home team had won in Statesville, and they will go Id' Chapel Hill Saturday ., the -happy . Statesville team left for home on 36. We will be glad to have them back again. Many of the high school boys and girls met their victorious team - who came in on 37 from Salisbury.
