FORUM One of the oldest and best-kno vn organizations of the high school is the Forum. Its purpose is to foster interest and participation in, and knowledge of, parliamentary practice and public speaking in all its forms. Besides the programs arranged for educational and literary purposes, meetings are held occasionally for extemporaneous speeches and orations. On March 14th, in chapel. Forum presented a one-act play, The Empty Piccolo, by William Colter. The parts were played by very mod- ern Romans garbed in bathrobes and appropriate costumes. In spite of its tragic conclusion, the student-body appreciated the cleverness and orig- inality of the playwright, a student in C. H. S. Any boy who shall have made an average grade of G or above in the preceding six Mceks and has at least four credits, is eligible to become an active member of the organization. His character, habits, and scholastic standing are investigated by a secret committee ' ' ' which is appointed by the president. No student shall be elected to membership if there are three or more votes cast opposing his election. A banquet was held in the high school cafeteria on January 1 5th. Various speeches were given and candidates for the Forum were nomi- nated. The officers at present are: Willis Repp, president; James DuShane, vice-president; William Colter, secretary; Floyd Simmen, treasurer; Cal- vin Wright, sergeant-at-arms ; and Mr. William Hennessy, critic.
