, Good Home Makers.

Does the modern girl make a bet.
ter home maker than the girl of 50
years ago?

Interesting question, and very im-
portant to those who may have to
marry some of the modern girls.

But .who's going to answer the
query after the failure of two expert
debating teams at Center High as-
sembly failed to prove either an at-
flriaative or negative?

After hearing all the arguments
the Judges decided that "from the
facts given by both sides the girl of
50 years ago and the modern girl
made edually good home makers."

Champions of the modern-girl
were: ' '

Dorothea Hillicmier. dressed to
represent Miss Irene French.

Grace Keils, dressed to represent
Miss Helen Wills.

Lillian Stoots. dressed to represent
Miss Pola Negri.

Those ‘upholding the negative
were:

Emily Eiirin. dressed tolrepre~
sent Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe.

Marybeth Chapin. dressed to rep.
resent Mrs. Julls D. Grant.

Grace Stewart. dressed to repre-
sent Mrs. Mary-Todd Lincoln.

Grace Stewart gave the rebuttal
for the negative. and Lillian Stoots
gave the rebuttal for the affirmative,
