WI' - --- 7 im Thy Name Is Honor MMEDIATELY after the first report cards came out, a rumor spread about that the Honor Society would be Hswampedi' by the number of seniors eligible for en- trance. lilany seniors were disappointed when they dis- covered that only fifteen out of such a brilliant class as ours would be pledged. After the midyears one night a group of senior members met and helped our faithful adviser average the marks of the juniors. We found that only a few could be pledged since the society was already large. Therefore, only those above 90.5W9 were pledged. Un lliarch 7, the initiation party was held, in honor of the newest members, in the clubrooms of Y. ll. C. A. Some highlights of the evening vvere: Bill Paxsonis first dance! Eating so late that there was no time left to initiate the new members for which we were very sorry, because here had been many baneful mixtures prepared just for that event! And last, but not least, Bliss Jones' teaching the athletes, who weren't swimming, how to play ping-pong! lt Was also amusing to see hir. Everett, the photographer, squirming in all sorts of queer posi- tions in his efforts to secure good action-shots for the Yearbook! lt has been and is the annual custom of the Honor Society to have an all-day party at the end of the year. The party is always held at Skytop Country Club. Wliile at Skytop, society members have complete privileges on tennis courts, in the swimming pool, and on the whole of this scenic ground. fffiil v ' .. - 'IGN I19l

WI- -Ie-s Paper And Ink Don't Make A Book HIS, dear reader, is The Kingszfonizm Staff. lt has wished oh, so many times-that an annual could be designed by each and every subscriber, but this was quite impossible. The result of their efforts you now hold in your hand and they hope you are pleased with it. If so, they are satisfied. As usual, the Yearbook staff has strived to attain all possible points to give us an All-American Yearbook. Several meetings were held at which various men spoke to the staff in regard to subjects relating to the Year- book. The first of a series of speakers was lVIr. Stearn of Stearnis Studio. lilr. Atkins of the Craftsmen En- gravers discussed engraving. lllr. Sterne of the Sterne- Everett Studio presented a new idea for the theme -of the book-Photomontage Photography. lt was decided that Sterne-Everett was the studio at which We Would have the pictures made. Since the members of the Senior Class were not all interested in the same particular phase of Work in con- nection with the book, the group was divided into six distinct staffs, namely, editorial, business, art, circulation, typing, photography. A chairman was appointed as the head of each. Several boys were informed about photography, and they obtained many interesting snap shots which are pic- tured in the book. The staff has put forth its best efforts to produce an All-American Yearbook. The book will compete with other high school annuals and they hope it will prove to be as nearly perfect a yearbook as any high school could be expected to produce. VD! A M H659 First Row: B.

r. AIISN 'dbh - Words And Rebuttal N the night of the big debate, when a debater delivers an interesting speech in just the right tone of voice with the most suitable gestures and intonations, you may be sure that his perfection is not due to mere chance. There is no such thing as a born debatern-no matter how good one is, he must go through extensive prepara- tion before he faces arraudience. lf you don't believe this, consider what our high school debaters must do. Long before the rest of the school knows that there is to be a debate, a meeting of the club is called in which the members are informed of the question, given bibliog- raphies of references and told to fall to.'l Then each individual must determine which side of the question he Wishes to uphold, look up all material on the subject, and Write his speech. Un an appointed day the sponsor listens to some thirty speeches delivered by eager appli- cants in voices ranging from the trembling falsetto of the timid freshman to the sonorous baritone of the cock- sure upper-classman and selects an affirmative and nega- tive team. Then the real work begins! The preliminary speech is discarded and a new one begun. After a fevv more weeks of exhaustive research, this is completed, and our young debater begins the serious business of memorizing it, usually succeeding in driving his Whole family crazy in his attempt. All of this happens before the debate when, of course, he must be on his toes every minute listening to his oppo- nents so that he -may break down their speeches in his rebuttal. The first ollicial debate of the season was with Hazle- ton on the subject, f'Resolvedt That the United States Should Adopt a System of Socialized bledicinef' Prior to this an informal practice-debate on the same subject was staged with the Forty Fort teams. - 774. ,JICQNF fa?-JI...
