THE CHADRON-ALLIANCE DEBATE. .
On April 19, the Alliance team met its first opponents and enioyed its
first
victory in debating for the year 1919. We were a little worried when we
learned
that the debators from Chadron had distinquished themselves along
Declamatory
lines, but on the debating platform was where we learned the "proof of
the
pudding." Again the students of the Alliance High School are to be
congratulated
upon their good representation, as a large and enthusiastic crowd
witnessed
the contest. This decision was unanimous in favor of the affirmative,
upheld
by Fauntine Johnson, Ray Edwards, and William Coutant of Alliance.THE SIDNEY-ALLIANCE DEBATE.
Sidney has been a stumbling block to Alliance, in debating as well as
in
athletics. Nevertheless, we journeyed to Sidney with high hearts, and
during
our entire visit were treated with the utmost cordiality. The regular
"baker's
dozen" were in attendance at the debate. "After the usual
conflict,
the judges came to a quick decision, (for judges) and again Alliance
was
victor by a unanimous vote. This contest not only decided the District
Championship,
but also chose the one who would represent this district at the State
Debate
held at Lincoln on May 16. William Coutant, of ihe Alliance team, was
selected
as the representative.If there is something you would like to see added
