. . , fo eU cu4 toftcct, CLUB OFFICERS: Judith Davison, Sec- retary: Kenneth Licht, Vice-President; Nancy Austin, President, Marshall Secunda, Robert Johannsen, and Richard Martin, three capable freshmen, practice for their first inter-school debate. '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.

An A in six out of seven participations - this has been the record of the Queensbury High School Band in the annual New York State School Music Association Competition. In addition to playing for school activities, the band has participated in many outside events. For nine years, the band has played in the Lower Adirondack Firemen's Association parades, winning third place twice and second place once during the years that band competition was held. The band also played for the opening of the New York State Teachers' Regional Conference in Glens Falls in 1958. Highlights of 1961 were an invitation to play for Governor Rockefeller at the opening of the Glens Falls By- Pass in May and a request to entertain the Lions' Club at the Queensbury Inn in December. The band has played many recorded selections, which have been heard over radio station WSET, and has received enthusiastic praise from Mrs. William McCune of the Glens Falls POST STAR. Since 1953 John L. Boor has been director of the band, which was formed in 1951 under the direction of Mrs. Dorothy Cafaro. 28
