Adviser, ...Y,,s........ooo........... Mr. Porterheld - Under the competent leadership of Osie and Violet the Forensic Club has brought to a close its second successful year. Many of its old members and all of the new were on hand at the first of the year with much zeal and enthusiasm. Our debaters took second place in the Sierra Forensic Conference through exceptionally good work. After the last conference debate our three best de- baters met Bakersfield in a post-season contest, and we concluded the evening by entertaining the visiting school. VVe were also well represented in Oratory and Extempore. All of these interscholastic activities were sponsored by the club. With the help of the associate members the club put on a very successful Spring Program, which brought in more than enough revenue to meet the ex- penses incurred during the year. This public entertainment featured two one- act plays and a formal, Oregon-style debate-the first ever put on in McFarland. Our annual Forensic Club party was, also, very successful. It was necessary for the club to make many awards for the splendidvwork done by students this year and last. VVe awarded six gold and four silver pins to individuals and a silver cup to the winners of the interclass debates. The winners of gold pins for the year's activities were Thelma Moore, Frances Grober, Osie Turner, and Earl Higginbotham. The Club has been an outstanding organization in our school and is deter- mined to be even more so next year. E. M. H.-'33

Pressure of other activities has caused rather desultory publication of our school paper this second semester, but under the organization provided by the new Constitution we expect better results next year. Publishing the annual has meant a good deal of work-but it has been fun as well. Generous cooperation on the part of the entire student body has lessened the work. Particular credit goes to Joe Roberts, who volunteered his services in securing financial help from local business men. Only McFarland's determination to maintain the tradition of an annual has made possible the publication of a year book this year. We have tried to make it worth the effort. -2 2-

G eorge Alexander Mrs. Oberkamp, ...,e.e,e,,,,,.,..,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,el.,l,,,l..,l..,l..,.....,.., F lorence Hubbard On December 2, McFarland's populace was audience for a typical newly- 'wecl's quarrel exhibited in Mussolini's Calamity, the Senior Play. The inter- pretation must have been reasonably true to life, for there was a satisfying display of laughter and excitement from the audience. On account of this it can be presumed that the play cast succeeded in adequately caricaturing the hen- peckedv father-in-law, the domineering mother-in-law, the stubborn bride, and the more stubborn groom. Members of the play cast showed themselves willing to cooperate by practi- Qing night after night, at the same time getting school lessons, without even the usual half day's vacation before the play was given. For these reasons the seniors feel that the cast showed more than average class spirit. The graduating class realizes that without the support of the entire school there could have been no Seliior Play gso here the senior class is tendering its thanks to those who have supported us in the presenting of Mussolini's Calamity. lNe are particularly indebted to Miss Harder who, as a patient and capable coach, was largely responsible for the success of our play: others in and out of school contributed their part, and we are sincerely grateful.
