The Stoyestown High School debating
teams were declared champions of Som-
erset County when they defeated Rock-
wood in a debate held at Stoyestown on
last Thursday on the question: “Re-
solved that Congress should provide for
a Secretary of Education in the Presi-
dent’s Cabinet.”
Debates on this question have been
held each week during the month of
April among the eight high schools
which comprise the Somerset County
League. Rockwood, with four victories
to its credit, was declared winner in the
southern section of the county, while
Stoyestown with five victories, won in
the northern section.
The debate last Thursday night gave
Stoyestown first place in Somerset Coun-
ty ‘and the privilege of representing the
county in the debate tournament for
Southwestern Pennsylvania, which will
be held at California, Pa., on May 7.
At the close of the debate Thursday
Stoyestown was presented a larger sil-

its enclosed courtyard. Looking at
