Debaters match wits in battles on judicial reforms Resolved: That the Jury System of the U.S. should be significantly changed. This was the National Debate topic for the ‘71-72 school year. After hours of endless research Cathedral's debate teams were ready for their various meets. Unknown to many, the debate team consisted of three squads; varsity, intermediate and novice. The varsity team had its ups and downs, with the novice and intermediate teams doing somewhat better. The highlight of the season for novice debaters, was winning a trophy in the University of New Hampshire's 55th Novice Invitational Tournament. Although debating does not have the crowd appeal of varsity sports, the members in the battle of wits share just as much pride and desire. 1 Club officers, Sheila Kraus and Oliver Mitch- ell, prepare for their first debate of the season. 2 Moderator Sr. Lorraine Henry confers with in- termediate debaters on strategy. 3 Early in the debating year, Liz Thiebe and Gary Allard scan rules of procedure.

7 Language clubs vary activities “a : : ' : i : ES : ‘ i : : : % ; a Se Students found language clubs helpful in applying their language skills. German club members gained an understanding of German culture through their trips to Boston, New York, and the Fort Restaurant. Guest speakers added variety. Members of the French club studied Frenchmen of today through such French greats as DeGaulle and Chevalier. Spanish club members donated time to work at the Spanish Apostolate. They held art, cooking, and sewing classes twice a week for the interested Spanish-speaking students of Sacred Heart and Armory Street schools. 1 Anticipating the Christmas celebration for Spanish-speaking children, Debbie Roberts and Harriet Walsh construct a pinata. 2 In any lan- guage, a bug’s a bug. 3 Spanish youngsters ea- gerly await the breaking of the pifata. 4 French Club members Deborah Regnier and Grace Nardi flip through a French periodical with Sr. Teresa Derouin.
