Student Council Each year in June, the 628 students of the high school and junior high board buses which take them to two different lakes for the annual school picnics. The capable members of our Stu- dent Council have made arrangements, worked out buddy systems, and planned games for the picnics. In addition, the Student Council each year sponsors a talent show and several dances, provides money for Christmas parties, distributes the school pictures, and supplies records for dancing during noon hour and after the basketball games. In June of every year, the new officers are elected. Candidates are chosen, after which an elec- toral college composed of members from each homeroom selects the nominees to be voted on by the student body. For the final balloting, an authentic voting machine is used. Since its formation in 1950, the Council has actively participated in school affairs and has willingly accepted new responsibilities. 24

'Debate Club The members of the Queensbury High School Debate Club range from freshmen to seniors, with many representatives from each class. These students, when debating against other schools, compete in one of three divisions - novice, semi-experienced, and experienced - depending on skill and ex- perience. The primary purpose of the Debate Club, formed under the direction of Mr. Hemmer two years ago, is to help its members express themselves with confidence when speaking before an audience. Each mem ber is able to compete in the numerous tournaments available. This year the experienced division com- peted in a tournament at Cortland State Teachers’ College. Other plans for the year included a regional tournament and competition at Bethlehem Central High School. Karen LaBarge, Marjorie Merriman, Judy Davison, Judy Jenkins.
