DISCUSSION CLUB . . . Wherever there are people, there is a point of view, a discussion, a debate. Throughout the world, people discuss almost anything that ever happens. We too, discuss the affairs of living, both on the national and international scale, and in our everyday lives, at our Discussion Club meetings. Bob Donofrio and Mary Mayr, part of the battling forces of this club, have aided and led many discussions on such matters as Segregation in the South, Teen-age Problems, and Rock Rivalry, Good or Bad.

l S SINGERS , . . In the early 1400's madrigal singing was first originated by fami- lies who, for relaxation and entertainment, would sing songs around their din- ner tables. This style of singing, which is done by intimate groups, has been carried through the years to the present day. The Singers,', under the direction of Mr. Henry Fordham, is a group which continues the practice of madrigal singing, along with many other types of songs. The Singers do a great deal of good-will work for the school by singing in various programs put on by organizations and clubs in other schools and in communities throughout the Island. They also per- form in the annual concerts at East Rockaway, and compete in the New York State School Music As- sociation's competitions where they have received many excellent awards. The members of the Singersl' are: Myra Siegel, Martha Mitchel, Dorothy Hutchinson, Alva Tripp, Benjamin Caine, Robert Fordham, Carol Niddrie Elaine Reuter, Patricia Gregory, Albert Campbell john Lowe, and Edward Dessart. 7 7 - ' ' t J fl ,f 1 , ,f K nf ,, It Mr. Henry Fordham l 26 ' f l 7 1
