DEBATE TEAM Row one: S. Maclntyre, P. Barnes Row two: B. Murray, C. Tappen, J. Thompson Pioneers polish their forensic skills. Resolved: That direct United States economic aid to individual foreign countries should be limited to technical assistance and disaster relief. This contro- versial issue was well-handled by our debate team: Jim Thompson and Bob Murray, affirmative, Chips Tappen and Stuart Maclntyre, negative, and Penny Barnes, substitute. Under the leadership of Mr. Walter F. Terris from Calvin College, the team, participating in the Grand Valley Debate League, had five wins. Marshall, lonia, and Central, schools not in our league, provided the debators with additional competition. Our team gave Central, the city champions, their closest match. The annual forensic contest led by Mrs. Meyer at- tracted many students. The program consisted of interpretative, humorous, and declamatory readings, as well as original oratory and extemporaneous speeches. After an elimination contest for students who did not participate in forensics last year, a second contest was held. The winners from the first contest were then competing with those who had participated in previous years. The district contest and finally the regional contest decided the lucky and talented winners.

Turner Roman culture interests Latin students, Do as the Romans do is the motto when partici- pating in a Roman banquet. This includes wearing long flowing togas, using fingers instead of forks, and eating too much rich food. This banquet is one of the interesting proiects undertaken by the enthusi- astic members of the Latin Club to further interests in Roman culture and civilization. The Saturnalia Christ- mas celebration and the ldes of March were other festive occasions on which the club enioyed delicious refreshments and Latin songs. Giving those trophies that rise and shine. As a service proiect, the Latin Club cleaned and polished East's trophies. They donated gifts for the Student Council Christmas baskets and sponsored several sales as money raising proiects. Because of the enthusiasm of the members and the leadership of Miss Hill, their lively sponsor, and Carol Fisher and Carolyn Seime, co-consuls, fun and service have been combined to make the Latin Club one of our outstanding interest clubs under the new club system, started two years ago.
