ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION. i3 BEMA DEBATING CLUB. The Bema Debating Society has begun its new year under most favorable auspices, and with a bright outlook for the repetition of the success of the past year. The con- stitution has been thoroughly revised and amplified so as to cover all contingencies which can be foreseen. After the experi- ence of our first year, in which the Society was conducted largely as an experiment, we have tried to strengthen the weak places in our organization, so that in the coming year we hope that the society will prove itself to be of great value to the entire school, as it already has to a portion. Our last debate on the question: Re- solved, That Trades Unions secure the best interests of the workingmen, proved exceed- ingly interesting and thought-provoking. Mr. E. Viets and Mr. Charles Gott for the affirmative, opposed Mr. Ackerman and Mr. H. Viets. The judges awarded their decision to the negative side. All members of the school are invited to attend the meetings, and take part in the general debate, which always follows the main debate, and all boys are particularly urged to join the society. Howard S. Russell. Sec. GERMAN CLUB. The German Club, or “ auf Deutsch,” the “ Mehr Licht Verein,” woke from its summer sleep with unusual vigor and started the new school year with a large and loyal membership. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year : — President, Miss Weeks ; Treasurer, Mabel B. Coolidge ; Secretary, Edward L. Viets. So far the club has held nine meetings at the various homes of the members, with the following committees in charge: — Oct. 5, 1904. Miss Weeks. Oct. 26. 1904. Mabel B. Coolidge, Ed- ward L. Viets. Nov. 16, 1904. Nettie Fisher, Robert Gordon. Dec. 28. 1904. Miss Yerrinton, Miss Perry. Jan. 11, 1905. Myra Wood, Fred Mead. Feb. 1, 1905. Ada Stephenson, Arthur C. Frost. Feb. 15, 1905. Lillian Brine, Alice Ken- dall. March 8, 1905. Howard S. Russell, Ralph Wood. April 12, 1905. Helen Blake, Harriet Bishop. Some of the many good things which the club has especially enjoyed are the fol- lowing : — Miss Esther Bailey read a paper on the German composers, and illustrated her comments by piano selections from each. Dr. Mather prepared a most interesting ac- count of some features of German Uni- versity life and his experience while at Berlin. These, together with a German play, a valentine party, a “ German supper,” in which the “ steins ” and their contents played a prominent part, a charade party, a game party and an innumerable caravan of other good things, have made this year a memorable one. One of the occasions most eagerly looked forward to is that of initiation night when the new members have to go through their various antics to earn their membership. On one of these occasions a would-be Mitglieder bestrode a ponderous rocking- horse and galloped about the room in a highly interesting manner, emitting the while blood-curdling war-whoops of his own manufacture. Later, while attempting an escape, he made a rather close acquaint- ance with a sheet of fly-paper and had the virtue of “stick-to-it-ive-ness ” forcibly illus- trated. In conclusion I would say that the Ger- man Club earnestly desires all German students to apply for membership and help us enjoy the good time. Do not be unduly frightened at the initiation ceremonies. They are really quite gentle.
