Ratherville Defeats Sioux Center in State Debate Round
Ratherville high school won the third round of the state debate on Thursday evening, defeating Sioux Center by a three to one decision. The match featured top contestants John Morse Ener Schneider and Mervin Brown arguing for the affirmative under Supt. J. S. Hilliard. Judges Lupts Reinerstein Gilliland ruled against the negative due to faulty reasoning as four remaining district teams prepare for February 24 against Tek Valley before a home Rock Valley audience.
