INTERESTING FORENSIC
CONTEST SATURDAY
W. M. Hill of San Antonio Best Oartor;
San Marcos High Best Debaters.
An interesting feature of the inter
scholastic meet was the debate and
oratorical contest, which took place
Saturday evening. On account of ad
verse weather conditions and the
small seating capacity of the Y. M.
C. A. auditorium, the audience was
small. Much enthusiasm was mani
fested, however, by the friends and
supporters of the contestants.
Promptly at 7:45 the oratorical
contest was begun. There were two
contestants in the event. Mr. Ralph
R. Abricht of Sherman spoke on
“Education for Efficiency,” and Mr.
William Madden Hill of San Antonio
chose for his subject “War and the
Common People.” Mr. Abricht, the
first speaker, delivered an excellent
oration, and showed considerable
knowledge of the finer points of ora
tory. Mr. Hill, however, was the sen
sation of the evening. His oration
was interesting thruout and was de
livered in a manner which reminded
one of some of our noted statesmen.
Mr. Hill was unanimously declared
the winner of the contest.
The debate between representa
tives of Allen Academy and those of
San Marcos High School was excit
ing as well as interesting. Much
friendly rivalry has existed between
the debating teams of the high
schools and academies for some tiim
and the contest Saturday evening de
cided the State championship of the
high school and academy class. By
a process of elimination the San
Marcos debating team had won the
high school championship, and Allen
Academy had won over the other
academies of the State.
The subject of the debate was:
“Resolved, That all immigrants to
the United States who are sixteen
years of age should be able to read
and write in some language, depend
ents on qualified immigrants, such as

Mr. Dan Kahn of Allen defended the
affirmative side of the question, while
Mr. Irvin Woodson and Mr. Roger
Porter of San Marcos High School
took the negative side. The debate
lasted for more than an hour, hut the
speakers held the interest of the
audience at all times during the con
test. The judges were not able to
arrive at an unanimous decision, but
the San Marcos High School received
the majority of votes and was de
clared the winner.
Scholarships were presented to the
winners of the oratorical contest and
the cups were given to the winners
of the track meet by President Biz-
zell.
