You may have the unique experience of playing Spanish bingo or you may be an -appreciative audience to the presentation of a Spanish drama. For these are among the many varieties of recreation provided for by the club members. You may be a trifle bewildered at first, for all conversation is in Spanish. The club members make practical use of the language at all times. a practice which will reap prontable rewards for them in the business world.

Time marches on and records each new day on the page of history. The IIISIORY CLUB, under Mrs. I-Iiller, tries to stimulate the study of history through talks given by students: these talks cover topics from pigeons to current events. Another stimulus is the field trips. The club has visited the Metropolitan Museum ol' Natural History in New York and the Industrial Museum.

With these words the affirmative speaker Gnishes a debate and thus ends another meeting of the eighteen- year-old DEBATING SOCIETY. At every meeting a topic of national, international or local importance is discussed in arliamentary, yet fiery fashion. However, the open forum which follows the debate and' which is the time n the debaters are questioned by the members of the Society, is a period when arguing reaches a red-hot peak and parliament'ary procedure usually has to be dropped. Members of the Interscholastic Debating Squad debated with Iona Preparatory School and' Evander Childs High School, Last term, members of the society who were not on the squad had the opportunity of debating against inexperienced members of the Peekskill High Debating Society.

Why, the WFAS DISCUSSION CLUB, of course. Every month at least two members of this progressive club meet with other Westchester high school students to debate and discuss current topics and problems. With just a twist of the wrist and a turn of the radio dial, we can hear the Davis master-minds in action. Just during this past year a group of student's from the club did the club and Davis right proud, when they were chosen to take part in a nation-wide broadcast on the Columbia School of the Air. . Keeping up the club, however, recently provided quite a bit' of difficulty, for the wartime shortages hit the Discussion Club when its former sponsor, Mr. Bartlett, became Lieutenant Bartlett of the United States Army. The club remained for a while without a sponsor. However, it takes a mighty thing to discourage a Davis man. and true to form, the students took up an energetic search for a new sponsor. While George Goodman tire- lessly petitioned various faculty members, Mr. Caville temporarily took charge of the group. Mr. Avery later assumed the permanent role of faculty advisor for the club, and under him, it is functioning, at present, efficiently and effectively. IDENTIFICATION- fBottomJ Row l: M. Veeder, B.
