Belt, Masque Acqaaints Students with Theater Arty Not only budding Barrymores but potential Premingers and Diors as well, found a medium for expression in the activities of the Stevenson Masque. And, although all of their activities were stage oriented, the similarities between them ended there. For those with either a passive enjoyment of the theater, or a professional interest in the techniques employed in a Broadway production, the club- sponsored theater party to the musical Walking Happyn was both entertaining and enlightening. Not only did the Masque supply a major portion of the cast and crew for the all school musical, but they also presented the 'lean Kerr comedy Jenny Kissed Me. Extending its activities into the students' vaca- tion time, the Masque provided two scholarships for the MSU summer theater workshops, regard- ing them as an investment in the future. 5 5 sy-- ,,,,,,..4.nui ' Constant research on the parts of jim Chisholm and Stan Bock is neces' sary to maintain their vitally important card files. 63

ebate Team Wins Honors ,. , .rf Carrying his avocation into his private conversation, Stan Bock pleads his case before Mr. Croll, debate team coach. or Brilliant Record For a group in its first year of competition, the debate team displayed remarkable ability. Despite their inexperiece, the varsity teams succeeded in winning all but two of their debates. This is an almost impossible feat for a first year team COH1- posed of three juniors and one sophomore Debate coach, Mr. Croll, aware of the caliber of the opponents, had assured the team at the begin- ning of the year that even if they didn't win, they would learn from their mistakes, and develop the art of losing gracefully. Varsity debaters l-letty Waskins, Doug Dillon, lim Chisholm, and Stan Bock decided that these were fine lessons, especially if you could learn while winning. Unfortunately, their season did not give them much experience in losing so they must return to the league next year as novice losers. Any State League team that wins 75? of its debates receives a plaque recognizing excellence in dehatingvg Stevenson's team has been so recog- nized for its record of seven wins and one loss. Debate Team: Front Row: Horn, P. Oppenheimer, S. Union, D. Bock, Chisholm, D. Dillon, Kay, G. Croll. Richey, H. Waskin, A. Helmhamp. Second Row: B. Peterson, S. 62.

For those hudding Joseph Pulitzers and Clark Kents who enjoy basing their master- pieces of rhetoric in fact, Stevenson produced the Aiiilmssaalor. Professionally printed this year for the first time, the Anihassaalor was Stevensonis answer to the New York Times, the Detroit News and the Bentley Echo. For the first time photography could he used to add a professional touch to the stories con- trihuted hy regular staff members, free lan- cers, and, as in the letters to the editor, an occasional irate student. For those whose creativity needed fewer restrictions to Hourish, Prometheus was an apropos medium. An all-school magazine in every sense of the word, it included prose, poetry, music and, thanks to photography, artwork. Prometheus was almost entirely student-produced, from the contributions themselves to the various stages of produc- tion. VVith Mr. Bryant as their sponsor and mentor, the Sophists, a literary discussion group, covered much of the best of contem- porary world literature, from Catcher in the Rye to Albert Camus' The Stranger. heirner, S.
