TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 13 censorship reduced public expression and the possibility of great art. and was contrary to democracy. Westinghouse, our second speaker, effectively demonstrated with concrete examples, what could befall printed matter without censor- ship. Unfortunately the speech of the second speaker was well nigh inaudible. Cooper concluded our case by huinorously showing the fate that overtook Rome for lack of censorship. The third member of thc op- position, John Fraser, attempted to disprove Cooper's points with much less success. The final verdict of the judges awarded the victory to Lakefieltl by a 203-189 score, stressing, however, the excellent delivery of our speeches. T.C.S. AT LAKEFIELD Before a noteworthy audience in the Grove Hall, three Grove speak- ers supported the resolution: Censorship could be of positive value to Canada . The T.C.S. opposition consisted of Stephen Traviss, Hamish Ion and Tony Stikeman. The Prime Minister, McLean, outlined the terrible and disastrous effects on our society if there were no censorship. The Leader of the Opposition, Stephen Traviss, battled the P.M., summing up the history of censorship, and the condition of past societies without it. The second speaker for the Government gave an interesting ex- position of advertising, and its relationship to the censors. The second speaker for the Opposition, Ion, delivered an excellent and humorous speech about our pitifully censored society, and how the average Martian would look upon us. The third speaker supporting the resolution gave an exceedingly amusing speech which captured the House. The last speaker for the opposition, Stikeman, summarized the ideas of censorship and stressed the point that censorship was negative. The three judges then retired briefly, during which time debate was thrown open to the floor of the House. The verdict was a 2-1 decision in favour of Lakefield. After the debate, the Trinity debaters were kindly invited to make a tour of the school, followed by tea.

Brown is president and M. E. K. Moffatt is vice- president. The Society's membership has grown considerably this year and contests are going to be held every month in order that the members may have a chance to get more experience. THE MUSIC CLUB As yet not fully organized, but to start shortly, this club is under the direction of Mr. Prower. lt has a membership restricted to about 15 boys who meet every two weeks to listen to and discuss recitals, either recorded or given by visiting guests. The members of the Music Club also have the privilege of going to see out-of-town concerts when arrangements can be made. THE FRENCH CLUB This year the French Club has been split up into two divisions - the Senior Division which is composed of boys in Fifth and Sixth Forms and the Junior Division which is made up of Third and Fourth Formers Mr. Bishop is in charge of the Senior Club with an executive made up of Stephen Traviss as president, George Wardman as vice-president and .Ion Birks as secretary. Messrs. Franklin and Williams are in charge of the Junior Club and D'Arcy Martin is president. The club has meetings every two weeks and news summaries of all sorts are given by various members and afterwards pertinent ques- tions are discussed. In addition, various projects have been planned. The Club is also looking forward to the visit of two French speaking Moroccans, some Air France films. and the French plav which this year will be a brief history of French teaching throughout the ages. THE SCIENCE CLUB This year the electronics club has been replaced by a new Science Club under the direction of Mr. Goering, with Mike Moffatt as president. Bruce Maycock as vice-president, and David Lindop as secretary. Since for several years the electronics club has seemed too restricted in its activities. the main aim of its successor is to broaden its scope so as to appeal to boys interested in other branches of science besides elec- tronics. The projects currently under way. based on Mr. Goering's science publications, include research on crystals. oxygen, electrolysis, the amoeba, and other protozoa. the construction of an amplifier. an air cushion vehicle. and a small rocket. Many more are in store for the future. such as studies about meteorology and chlorophyll. and building an artificial kidney or reaction timer.
