FRENCH CLUB The French Club, better known as La Circle Francaise, was started last year under the supervision of Madame Foster. The club was very small at first, but this vear the number of members has increased be- cause of the first and second year French classes. The club is very gay and different, because all conversation is in French. This is to help the members understand and speak the language but it also gives an air of mystery and romance. During the year several parties were given. These were successful because of the good times that were had. Officers were: president, Dorothy Dean; secretary and treasurer, Enid Amon and (ienevieve Roberts. EL PI N ON 23

CAMPUS MEGAPHONE The year 1933-34 saw a change in the method of putting out our school publication. The Campus Megaphone came out each month as usual, but this year it was not printed outside of school. It was thought that there would be much more practical benefit to the stu- dents if the whole work of publication was done here. Moreover, the expense was much less and the students were charged less for the paper. The first three issues were given to every student in the school with no charge. Then a campaign was staged for subscriptions at the rate of 25c each. By this method our paper was made financiallv suc- cessful. The mimeograph method also made possible a more interesting paper. Students were not held to any set number of words and thus much individual effort and many new ideas were gained.

DEBATE CLUB 1933-.-I4 proved to be an active season for debaters. At the first of the year our efforts were bent toward inter-class debates. Each class had its elimination for class teams of two debaters. Those chosen to represent their classes were: seniors, Marion Cashbaugh and Carlton McKinney; juniors, Dorothy Wilkerson and Virginia Black; sopho- mores, Mildred Hillis and Margaret Price; post graduates, Wilfred Partridge and Albert Stein. The preliminary inter-class debates eliminated the juniors in the sophomore-junior contest and the P. G. ' s in their debate with the seniors. The final debate between the sophomores and seniors was held before the student body. The seniors won and the two winners received a pen and pencil set as prizes. On March 9th at Bishop and on April 20th at Lancaster, non- decision debates were held between the Lancaster team and Bishop. Both schools made fine showings. 24 EL PINON
