Dickcrt Administration ILLIAMSPORT High Scl1ool, after having been a member of the Bucknell Interscholastic Debating League for four years, decided this year to enter the Pennsylvania Forensic League, a state-wide organization. It is hoped that this new afliliation will create a kecner interest in debating. One of the most abused of high school activities is debating, though potentially one of the bestg for it embraces in itself almost all of the advantages of both cur- ricular and extra-curricular activities collectively-the development of intellectual capacities and interests, good sportsmanship, self-reliance, confidence and poise. Few activities of the school can offer better educational opportunities than debating. The combining of the Junior and Senior class parties has been an added change in our school life this year. The purpose of promoting the social life of our school is to prepare our students for their social life as adults. We aim to raise the standard of students' amusement, make them dissatisfied with the inferior and de- sirous only of the best. The purpose is also to brighten l school life and add to the at- tractiveness of it. These worthwhile objectives will be reached only when the so- cial program receives serious study, whole-hearted co-0p- eration and intelligent plan- ning.
