Debate-Speech Club Under the leadership of fac- ulty advisor, Mr. Freeman T. Frank, and club president, John DeStefano, the Debate-Speech Club has participated in over 300 interscholastic debates. On Saturdays throughout the years, the club has met in competition with from twenty to fifty other schools throughout New Eng- land. This year was a realization of the promise shown by the Debate Club in former years since they won trophies from Dartmouth, Manchester, Notre Dame, and elsewhere. Also this year the club was once again a member of the National Forensic League and the Northshore League. First row: C. Abbott, T. Kenny, R Hildreth, J. Goldblith, J. DeStefano, A Seymour, E.

Office has completed another successful season under the guid- ance of Mr. Irving Neiman. Each Student Congress Repre- sentative was put in charge of the ticket sales in his respective homeroom. This arrangement, which enabled greater efficiency in the handling of tickets, and the especially ardent sales cam- paign this year resulted in an increase in the sale of S.A. Tick- ets. This fall homeroom 28 was dismissed from school early be- cause they purchased the largest percentage of S.A. Tickets. As usual, the Student Activity Tick- et provided admissions at a great saving for sports events, dances, and other extracurricular activi- ties to the students of Melrose High School.
