Forum Meetf Auftirz irt Second Debate' Difcufsei' Current H iitory Pro Hemi Busy students frequently give little or no thought to important problems of the day which may make history. Therefore, about three years ago some students got the idea of directing attention to these subjects by means of discussions and def bates in forum. The Forum was a success and from a small group sponsored at first by Mr. C. W. Baker, it has grown to a membership of more than one hundred stu' dents ready to discuss any and everything they can. At present the Forum is sponsored by Mrs. Sadie Reel, with official business at' tended to by capable officers. This semester the officers are Lorraine Hansberry, presif dentg Mary Frances Welsh, vicefpresidentg Donald jackson, treasurer, Nancy Daigre, secretary. The election of officers, it is inf teresting to note, takes place during the last meeting of the semester. This guarantees a good start for the first meeting of the new semester. Registration for Forum membership is open at the beginning of each semester. Juniors and seniors may register with Mrs. Reel, the sponsor. Dues are twentyfiive cents a semester. Debates given in the Forum are of an interesting and varied nature. Many topics concerning Russia and Palestine are dis' cussed in great detail, even to facts conf cerning their past history. During the meet' ings and after the debates there is usually an open discussion in which every one may take part. The main project for this year was the debate with Austin which was held at Englewood. The topic was Should the Federal Government Require Arbitration of All Labor Disputes in Basic American Industries? Preparations for this debate were started in Cctober and continued until December. A victory for Englewood was the result of the debate. The team responsible for the victory included Harry Hellmuth, Shirley Nelson, and James Talley. The Forum, like all of Englewood's clubs, is a democratic organization. Everyf one is allowed to take part in the debates. Among the many advantages in belonging to a club of this sort is the experience gained by talking before an audience and training in clear, logical thinking. The Forum is a mixture of work and fun. Each semester ends with a party, with entertainment and refreshments provided by the social committee. -NANCY DAIGRE Fire Martino!! Prove Worth Ar A necessary safety measure in Englef wood High School is the use of fire mar' shals. Under the guidance of Mr. William Connors, twentyftwo boys serve in this capacity. As the fire bell sounds the boys hurry from their rooms to their respective posts and there they direct pupils and teachers to the proper stairways and exits, and block those that are in danger. All the rooms are investigated to see that no one remains in the building. When the fire marshals have reported to the chief mar' Page 104 Sezfegu Factor irt School shal, who this semester is Harry Helmuth, they leave the building. Cutside the building boys are stationed at each street corner around the building to direct traffic so that lives are not en' dangered as students cross the streets. The fire marshals have shown that they are a very necessary factor in the function' ing of the school. In the opinion of Mr. Connors, lt is the most necessary organif zation in the school.

Yearbook Rerult of Cooperative Work of Mary Periong urtiorf to Carry On Last spring a new group of students applied for membership on the Purple and White staff. Twice a week they attended special classes to Study the making of a yearbook. Cf the 18 remaining in September, six were appointed to the editorial board and the rest were made editorial assistants. During the fall semester 10 additional juniors were chosen as general staff asf sistants so that they might form the nuf cleus for next year's annual staff. Now the work really began. Activities included handling subscription money and records, routing students on 'Lpicture days , as well as actual production of the book. Finally each picture, drawing and writefup fell into place, and the result is the book you now hold in your hands. Thanks are due to Miss Elsa Schmidt, Mrs. Lillian Banish, Miss Shirley Powell, and Mr. Charles Johnson, whose art classes made a number of attractive posters for the sales campaign and prepared drawings for head and tail pieces on panels. To the senior and junior salesmen, the editorial staff offers most sincere congratuf lations for a job well done. Their work has been as important in the production of the book as that of any staff member. Listed below are names of those who Adrafzred art fld5'5 at work on drawings for yearbook: rear right, Joan Scott and Oliver Hardimon, who drew division pages.
