Copp, it lived up to its brilliant record of the past three years by Winning top honors in the inter-scholastic press contests conducted by the National Scholastic and Columbia Scholastic Press Associations. Undoubtedly the newspaperls high degree of success was due to the efficient management and the manner of choosing the members. Competitive tryouts were held each term, and the Winning contestants were chosen members of the Editorial Board. In the picture above, editor Ed Leaton, and lVlr. Freybourg, our faithful printer, are reviewing a copy just off the press. Satisfaction is written all over their faces, just as satisfaction was shown by the Hill- toppers when they gave their stamp of approval by subscribing to an all-time high.

They comprised the hard-working Hi-News , Business Board of Davis. This board is a student project and llavisites are given many opportunities to he a part of it. They can till any of the following jobs: business manager, adver- tising manager, circulation manager, exchange mana- ger, student manager, and ad-getters. lVlr. Altschuler HI- TO News BUSI P SUCCESS has been the faculty adviser for more than ten He has acted as a guide a d Staff years. n counselor , and not as U U to the student a boss . He and the students would meet informally to work out their mutual problems. Because of the splendid staff of students and Mr. Altschuler, who gave so unsparingly of their time and effort, the Hi-News has achieved great success in ob- taining over 1400 subscriptions, and in having in some issues over 100 inches of advertising. Those who would add their names to the illustrious staff were obliged to obtain at least three inches of ad- vertising space from merchants for every issue of the newspaper. The ambitious staff could never sit back and rest upon its laurelsn. The merchants in town have always been glad to co- operate when one of the members of the persistent ad- getters group solicited them for advertisements. They know as well as we do, that the Hi-News is a terrific paper, worthy of all-out support. NESS BoARn

Sodcrlwrg DAVIS DEBATERS AT WGRK If, in walking through the halls of Davis, you heard what might have led to a filibuster, you shouldn't have gone looking for Senator Claghorn, as most likely it would have been found that the cause of that commotion was either the Debating Society or the Discussion Club. Under the guidance of Mr. Johnson, the Debating Soci- ety has for many years been one of the best known activi- ties in Davis. Students used their ample lung-power to at- tempt to present :I winning case for a proposal or to at- tack this same thing. Every year the society presented debates among the members and against teams from other schools. Annually the lfvander Childs High School of New York City has DEBATING SOCIETY RADIO DISCUSSION CLUB given opposition to our Inter-scholastic Debating Squad as did the freshman members of the Debating Society of, New York University. A model debate was presented for the Saturday Night Club for which Garrett Sanderson winner, received a cash award. The officers of the society were Eugene Nadel, president, David Feigert, vice-presi- dent, and Sidney Knafel, secretary. 1 The Discussion Club, with Mr. Carlson as its sponsor, chose Edwin VVittstein for president duirng the fall term and George Scoledes for the same oHice during the spring. The club served a great need for airing the members' views on current problems and world affairs.
