The membership of the club is composed entirely of High School boys who have proven themselves leaders of the student body. During the school year of 1921-22 the club gave two plays, the proceeds of which went to the purchase of twelve handsome orange-and-black blankets which were presented to the High School for members of the athletic teams. Black sweaters were also presented to the members of the girl's basketball team, which won the slope championship in that year. Ribbons were awarded for first, second and third places at the Western Slope Track and Rhetorical Meet. The year 1922-23 lias, in many respects, been the most successful year of the club. Their principal achievement has been the raising of funds for the Helen Dewey Memorial. This task was successfully carried out. and a beautiful white marble shaft was purchased, together with a eun-dial to rest on it. The club also purchased ribbons for the Western Slope Field and Rhetorical Meet and established the annual J-R Leadership cup for the best leader in High School during the four-year course.

Debating CHIS year we ha.e taken a great deal of interest in another branch of rhetorical work—debating. G. J. H. S. is now a member of the State Debating League. As a starter, tie Juniors challenged the Seniors to an annual Junior-Senior debate. This debate was held the last of January on the question: Resolved that Colorado should adopt a law providing for an income tax as a substitute for the present general property tax. The Senior team consisted of Marie Fuite, Selma McQueen and Paul Jones, while the Junior team was made up of Dalton Trumbo, Eugene Mast and Bayard Rhone. The Juniors won with the negative side of the question. From this group, Marie Fuite, Dalton Trumbo and Eugene Mast were chosen to represent the school in the first interschool debate with Meeker, February 10th. Lots were drawn to determine sides and the affirmative fell to us. Unfortunately we lost this debate, which fact put us out of the rare for this year. However, enthusiasm has not waned, and we are planning on an aggressive debating season next year. That interest in debating is keen in G. J. H. S. is evidenced by the fact that many debates have been held in the various History, English and Economic classes of the school, and that the debating coach tas had many calls for rules, material and judges for debates during the past four months. With such an enthusiastic spirit and a desire to work and win, we should have a team next year which will win net only the Western Slope debates but the state debate as well. EMMA GROOM.
