UN Debate Teams Defend Borrowed Policies After scraping together teams of five and choosing countries to repre- sent, the model UN debate teams procrastinate until just before the appointed day. Suddenly, endless hours are spent in the library searching for all of the policies of adopted countries. Even as the bus jiggles its way to Binghamton, speeches are being written and practiced. Cracking voices and shaky knees make initial arguments doubtful, but soon each person becomes an ambassador from his adopted country and nervousness disap- pears. Huang and Mrs. Simmons Stadent A.

O'Connell Honor Society Lends cz H ehoing Hand After hours of careful delib- eration by both teachers and other students, a final secret group of new honor society members is chosen. The deci- sions have been made on the basis of character, service, leadership, and scholarship. These members are then tap- ped at a tense, exciting school assembly. Once initiated, the members devote themselves to school and community service projects. Some of these activi- ties are guiding parents on open house night, passing out programs at graduation, deco- rating the lobby Christmas tree, buying and wrapping presents for needy children in Delaware County, and helping out at the community Hallow- een party.
