Led by Sponsor Ed Hyduke and President Bob Drorbaugh, these volunteer ushers not only kept the underclassmen from sneaking out with the Seniors, but they also helped stragglers find vacant seats. Zealous sportsmen endured burlap under- wear, limburger cheese, and the title scrub for the privilege of participating in the many Letter- man ' s Club activities. These included such service projects as helping the Student Body by making posters publicizing games, dances, and ASB elec- tions. The money made by selling popcorn and coke went toward goods for the athletic depart- ment and for such school donations as a sign kit for Student Body use and a tree on Arbor Day. Kenn Hansen, treasurer, Digger Graybill, vice president, and Bob Drorbaugh, president, confer with Sponsor Ed Hyduke about purchasing athletic equipment with club funds. Williams, C Spurrell, M.

The National Forcnsics League is an individual honor society for speech students achieving a 25-point total in tournament competi- tion. AHS placed second in the USC Southwestern Forensic Tournament sweep.stakes, with Richard Breeden taking first in extemporaneous speaking, and King Schofield and Mark Zirbel triumphing with a first-place debate trophy. These victories be- hind them, they then qualified to enter the State Championship Tournament at Stanford University. Southern California Debate League cannot be entered by a stude nt but only by a school as a whole. SCDL sponsors the majority of events and com- petitions such as open tournaments, student con- gresses, and novice tournaments. This year ' s club was one of the finest ever organized at Aviation. Along with Rolling Hills, the debate teams were asked to put on a demonstration at UCLA. AHS sponsored an open tournament, luring interest with the promise of scholarships for victors. The purpose behind this tournament was summed up by Mr. Glover in this statement: Colleges thus will learn who the students are, and will be able to offer sum- mer grants and regular scholarships to qualified debaters. bel, P.
