v Ai SOUTHSIDE HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL I i if cftffkf it Ecclesicl AFFIRMATIVE Resolved, That Ecelesia is of value to Southside. In proving that Ecclesia is of value to Southside, we shall endeavor to show you first, that our aim is a worthy one, and second, that our activities are worthwhile. The purpose of Ecclesia is to study and practice debating, and to teach the members to express themselves more clearly. Surely, this aim is commendable, since it is generally acknowledged that argu- mentation is very helpful training, while it is absolulutely necessary for all students to learn to express themselves plainly and distinctly. As for our activities, we study the essentials of argumentation, have short debates, and also give literary programs at our regular meetings, which are held every other Thursday and at special, more social gatherings the first Tuesday in each month. Of course a few parties are also held at various times. The outstanding events in the work of Ecclesia for this year were the short, humorous debate with the Senate, given as a demonstration in the Birthday assembly, the annual Senate-Ecclesia debate, and a mock trial given by the Senate and Eeclesia. VVe are also planning for a debate with Hornell girls' team. Now we have proven that, because the aim of Eeclesia is worthy, and the activities worthwhile, this society is of value to Southside.

SOUTHSIDE HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 9' Waimea, awe- i Senate The Senate Debating Society meets every Thursday evening at S. H. S. Parliamentary law, current topics, and matters pertaining to debates are discussed. A challenge from Ecclesia was accepted and the two teams will meet on May 31 before the student body. As the majority of the members have had no experience in debating, it was deemed Wise to accept no challenges from other schools until the coming year. OFFICERS President ....... .........
