£l7IT0FimLS Marcia Carter, ' 30 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The members of THE DEBATER STAFF are grateful to their classmates who have so freely contributed to these pages; to those pupils in the typewriting classes who, under the expert supervision of Miss Alice Ryan, carefully typed the material for the press; and to the faculty advisers, who have given this undertaking invaluable assistance. OUR AIM This year ' s DEBATER STAFF has earnestly endeavored to make this issue of THE DEBATER enjoyable to every underclassman, as well as to the seniors. We have tried to maintain the worthy standard set by the publications of former years, and we have attempted to publish as many articles as our limited space permits. Although this year ' s DEBATER is four pages larger than the customary issue, we have been obliged to omit several excellent contributions for lack of space. Continually bearing in mind the all-important fact that THE DEBATER IS ESSENTIALLY A SCHOOL MAGA- ZINE, we have encouraged especially the underclassmen in their literary ventures. If, therefore, our supporters derive any amusement, benefit, or delight from the following pages, we shall feel amply rewarded for our services. Richard Hayes, ' 30, Editor-in-Chief. To Our Advertisers We wish to acknowledge the generous financial aid given to us by our advertisers. Without this support it would be impossbile to issue The Debater. Timothy McCarthy, Arthur Brown, Business Managers. A SCHOOL BAND Music always has been and always will be a powerful inspiration toward the accomplishment of greater deeds. For countless ages, silver trumpets have summoned men to action, or have transformed a disgraceful, undisciplined flight into an orderly, steady, forward charge. A school band has a similar function. More than once a hard-fought struggle has been won by the thrilling, in- spiring sound of a school song bursting forth to let the wearied, chagrined athletes know a whole school is fighting with them. Several high schools in our immediate vicinity have organized and successfully maintained bands. For example, Melrose and Woburn, schools approximately our size, have bands ably conducted by capable student drum majors. These bands appear on all appropriate occasions, and, as those who have heard them at the games on Walton Field can well testify, they render their selections in a very satis- factory manner. What a possibility for a band in our own school! A band with our R. O. T. C. unit would add color to that organiza- tion and also allow it to be independent of outside bands. It would also enable the army to be rid of the discomfort of having the first two companies marching to the lively step of the band ahead of them, while, on the other hand, the last two companies are endeavoring to keep time with a much slower march being played close behind them. Then, too, it is evident from recitals of other bands that the townspeople would certainly appreciate an opportunity to hear a concert held in the auditorium. Thus, such ex- penses as might have been incuiTed would be considerably defrayed. Another suggestion — can you not picture a bright, sunny afternoon on Walton Field, with the bleachers full of ex- ulting, cheering boys and girls, and an inspired school band triumphantly bursting forth into a victorious march dedi- cated to the football or baseball team? Can you not imagine the thrilling inspiration to do or die that the band would arouse in hopeful hearts? The knowledge that nearly a thousand schoolmates were backing you up would mean more than weeks of training to anxious athletes. Let ' s all unite and not only attempt to institute a band
