Need Any After- Dinner Speakers? Do you believe in old sayings? Well, if you do all's well, if you donlt, you had better for once in your life. As the old proverb goes, A word to the Wise is sufficient, so never, if you're a Wise man, get roped into an argument with a member of the Speakers' Club. We'll let you into a secret, although its name is not debate, it really is the debate club of the school. This is its first year of organization, and already it has done great things, so much can be expected of it in the future. l'd cross the sea on a rotten rail to come to Lakewood. said that famous newspaper man and after-dinner speaker, Dusty Miller, after his last visit to our school. He was brought by this club. Future Statesmen and Orators Page 98 DUSTY MILLER

All Are Leaders in Only a certain percentage of the class is elected to the National Honor Societyg this adds to the honor of being chosen. The names of the members of the June Honor Society were not announced until late in the fall semester in an Honor Society assembly pro- gram. No member knew of his election until that assembly, which caused great excite- ment and surprise. Such an assembly pro- gram gives under-classmen an opportuniy to learn something about the Honor Society, what it is, what it stands for, and its qualifi- cations for membership. The 'members them- selves strive to be the kind of students the younger classmen can look up to and copy. They realize that they are the inspirations and ideals of the younger students, and must, therefore be good examples. As the Honor Society emblem, the keystone gives strength to a building, so our Honor Society members strengthen and uphold the ideals of our high school. Surely, then, the National Honor Society should be the aim of every Lakewood High School student! the June, 1931, Class

Say, do you know of anything more aggravating than a break in a moving-picture film just before the final clinch? Neither do our movie operators. The hero looks deep into the heroine's eyes-the film begins to jump-it staggers on for a few yards more and then dies in total darkness. But we sit patiently and wait for it to start again, don't We? Yes, we do! We object frankly and earnestly. We speak C?J unkindly and in an uncomplimentary way of our movie operators-how are we to know that such breaks are due to careless handling of the film before it came to our movie operators or to the great age of the film? We think that we can't exist during the lunch hour unless we see the movie. Reel One!--Lights, Please Their Works Give Us Pleasure We get all excited and angry if anything goes wrong in the operating room and we don't get to see the next reel. But the boys mend the film and the show goes on. We settle back comfortably once more to read captions aloud. Sometimes the film breaks two or three times during a picture and we think we are abused. Think of the poor movie opera- tors. The boys get lots of valu- able experience from their work. Running a movie isn't the eas- iest job in the world. They have to roll the films, unroll them again, operate the machines- Lakewood High has two kinds of machines, one for slides and the other for moving pictures. Remember when Mr. Raine talked on Alaska in assembly? Well, then the boys used the machine for slides. Sometimes teachers wish to show films for their classes-Spanish, Chemis- try. History, or Latin classes. they usually are-then our movie operators help the teacher run the picture machine land per- haps earn an extra A J. In con- nection with our Lakewood High history department we have American History films shown about twice a month. Our movie operators show these movies for the 12-B's Cmaybe they hate to get up in the morning, tooj. Then, of course, at noon these boys show the movie-they are a hard working bunch. The movie operators are organized as a club. If you want hard work but valuable experience, be a movie operator!
