THE NATIONAL F ORENSIC LEAGUE WAS BUSY The members of the National Forensic League went to the speech tourney at Clo- quet and came back State Champions. John Cawley, the president, won first place in or- atory and William Bradley, the vice-presi- dent, was elected president of the Student Congress. Doris Stanich was second in dramatic reading, and Richard Johnson was fourth in oratory. Besides gathering hon- ors, everyone had a good time eating green ice cream and playing the nickleodean tunes of Coosee Coo and Livit I Finske- garna at the Dairy Inn. But perhaps y0u'd like to know more about the league itself. To be a member, a person must be in the upper two-thirds of his class and must have earned twenty forensic points, which will earn him a degree of merit. The league encourages advancement by offering the following degrees for various points: de- gree of honor, fifty points: degree of excel- lence, one hundred points, degree of dist- inction, one hundred fifty points. John Cawley established a new school record by chalking up 357 points, which was 53 points higher than that of the former champ, Ber- nard Hoberman. The league members entered many de- bates and declamatory contests, amassing 1,447 points this year to bring Chisholm's total to 2,208, At left, is a picture of the Christmas tab- leaux, which was directed by Miss Virginia McNicholas.

MUSIC, MAESTRO, PLEASE And here we are, the ones who really pep up our football and basketball games and add that final touch to our auditorium programs. We're always ready to do our part for special occasions. Do we practice? What good organization doesn't? Four times a week, from four to five-thirty, you can find us at the old grind-but not the same group every night On Monday and Wednesday, the big orchestra plays: on Tuesday, the band: and on Thursday, our small orchestra. No, we don't mind practicing after four o'clockg it's part of the fun of being in the band and orchestra. We really enjoy playing the classics, too, such as Beethoven's Fifth Symphony , and Dvorak's New World Symphony , ---or the lighter music e--e such as Selections from the New Moon and The Three Musketeers . After this June 4, there will be thirteen musicians who can no longer say, We Belong . Being graduated this year are Bertha Aho, Amelia Bozanich, Gloria Cox, Catherine Dosen, Joseph Hren, Gladys Kapa, Ward Kel- low, Avis Panula, John Polenik, Robert Regis, Glenn Rupp, George Schoonover, Anthony Kosmerl, Gerald Adamic, Jack Krause, and I, Ralph Baldrica.

For the all-school play on December 5, Miss Virginia McNicholas, our director, chose Belle Lamar , a Civil War drama. Ellamae Anderson and John Cawley had the star roles of Isabelle Lamar and Philip Bligh. It was a story of a Southern belle married to a. Northern army of- ficer. The plot involved spies, soldiers, and faithful servants. Leontina Castagneri and Robert Mueller played to perfection the roles of Irish Honor McQuade and black Uncle Dan. Lloyd Johnson as Corporal Renny O'Shea humorously marshalled soldiers Albert Samsa, Alvar Hum ppi, John Pahule, Robert Powers and -James Bryan. William Bradley, William Verant, Donald Kaliin, Richard Johnson, Don Wilson, and Kenneth McDougall were Un- ion officers. I know you would have enjoyed The Nut Farm , the senior class play presented on May 22. The story was that of the Barton family of Newark who came to Hollywood, the city of glamor. The daughter became movie- struck: and Willie, the black sheep, turned out to be the hero by directing her drama into a farce. John Cawley as Willie, Alan Humphreys as the author, Mr. Biddeford, and Swen Saari as Farmer Sliscomb portrayed their hu- morous roles excellently. Other members of the cast were Esther Leino, Leontina Castagneri, Betha Giffei, Laur- etta Eddy, William Bradley, Ralph Baldrica, and Wayne Nisula.
