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

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

GIRLS ' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION This year the G. A. A. was started under the leadership of Miss Ewiiig, instructor in physical education for girls. This organization has been very active and has made itself an important factor in extra- curricular activities. The Hrst G. A. A. event of the year was a Halloween dance which proved to be a great success. In December a banquet was given at the Kittie Lee Inn in honor of the football players. A volleyball and basketball banquet was given February 2. This was attended by most of the girls in school. Awards and sweaters were presented to various girls at the time and an entertaining program was carried out. Baseball was then taken up with much enthusiasm. The final base- ball games and tennis matches were played on April 28 at a play day. The season was formally closed by a banquet in the evening. It was rather an honor to be a member of the G. A. A. because each member had to have taken part in some sport. The activities of the association can be looked back upon with pride, because of the praise- worthy way in which they were handled. G. A.
