NATIONAL FORENSIC LEAGUE Left to right: Nora Neal, Harry Woolpert, Bill Porter, Hatton Adams. Composed of CV's top orators, the National Forensics League had a busy year. Debaters from the club attended the Student Congress at San Bernardino, the Citrus Belt League Student Congress at River- side, All-League Debate Tourna- ment at U.S.C., the Student Con- gress at Los Angeles and many other debates held in Southern Cal- ifornia. Officers of the National Foren- sic League were: Nora Neal, presi- dent, Harry Woolpert, vice-presi- dent, Hatton Adams, secretary, and Bill Porter, treasurer. Mrs. Julia Yensen was club sponsor. The Forensics Club was com- posed of members from NFL and novices who were interested not only in becoming eventual mem- bers ot the national speech society but also in improving their own power of expression. As soon as some snow tell on Idyllwild, the speakers came out from behind their rostrum and headed for the mountains. The group also made a trip to Red- lands to hear a debate between Banning and Redlands. On March 21, club members journeyed to the annual Speech Festival at Red- lands. During April several Foren- sics Clubbers took part in a debate at Colton. CV sent delegates to the Student Congresses held at River- side and Banning high schools. The club had tentative plans for other speech activities as the year drew to a close. Mrs. Julia Yensen was sponsor of the speech club, Dan Moore, president, Bob Walker, vice-presi- dent, Norma Neal, secretary, and Marjorie Conaway, treasurer.

Boys' State and Girls' State are un- familiar names to most CVUHS'ers, but they mean much to the lucky people who went to Sacramento in June last year. For an entire week the Staters were indoctrinated with political science. The election system was demonstrated by mock city, county, and state elections, with Staters as candidates. For one day they literally took over the capitol. Any of the five who went last year will no doubt say that the result was worth the effort. All were chosen as outstanding iuniors, the boys by the two local American Legion posts and one ' girl by the Women's Auxiliary. The boys who went to Boys' State are Jack Grant, Harry Woolpert, Ben Montoya, and Bob Munoz. Carolyn Brumwell's enjoyment at going to Girls' State ls not reflected in this picture, as you can see. Quill and Scroll, the honorary organization for high school iournalists, was inactive during the first semester because President Ben Montoya was the only member. As the second semester commenced, how- ever, eleven newcomers from CV's two publications, Arab News and La Conchilla, became eligible, and Q and S awakened. The initiation of new members took place at Rancho Carrillo where Robert Farrow, Coachella Valley Sun news editor, told them about the advantages of a career in iournalism. Q and S's activities were again greatly restricted because the society's members were generally rushing madly about trying to produce either the annual or the newspaper. Mrs. Leanora R. Furr, iournalism in- structor, who founded the Quill and Scroll chapter at CV in 1948, was again sponsor. QUILL AND SCROLL - Left to right: Hatton Adams, Tony Freeman, Jackie Savant, Mrs. Leonora R.

The staff entered the iournalism class all set to continue printing the paper. But alasl, there were not enough CVites putting forth dollars for sub- scriptions, and the first issue came out as a dog-eared mimeographed presentation. But then the good fortune started. A mimeographed paper didn't appeal to the Student Council or the Arab Spirits, in fact, it made them down- right mad. So the council voted S100 and launched a campaign that gar- nered enough subscribers to assure a printed paper. staff really buckled Then the down and put out a paper. The edi- tion that had the April Fool all C.V. howling was issue, ARAB SNOOZE. Valuable assistance was given by Harry Woolpert and by Carol Baty. Annette Thibault doubled as reporter, typist, and bookkeeper. Rita Yoxsimer and others in the ARAB NEWS Club, which was sponsored by the staff, also assisted as reporters and keepers of the files. Mrs. Leonora Furr was advisor. BETTY KELTING, page 3 editor Q92
