N. F. L. Central’s National Forensic league encourages its members to be better speakers and to acquire poise and self-assurance by participating in public speaking. Junior Town Meetings, Student Congresses, Debate, and Dramatic Tournaments were sponsored by the group during the past year. This organization holds its meetings on Thursday mornings before school with Beverly Hall-quist, the President, presiding. They discuss group problems at these weekly meetings. Because of this organization’s work. Advanced Speech and Radio Workshop are being offered next year to encourage more work in speech. Mrs. Sellers is the advisor of the group.

They also return the passes to the study halls, keep the library orderly, and check attendance at the beginning of the period. These monitors perforin a great service to the school and deserve everyone’s thanks. Row 1: La Row«, Marquordt, Clifton. Palmer. Row 2: Kling. Fogle, Osborne, Ossanna.

RED CROSS The Junior Red Cross has a fine branch at Central; its mem-l)crs have done many things of importance this past year. During Christmas time they decorated a tree with one hundred pairs of mittens; the mittens were later sent to needy children throughout the world. Central received praise from the National Red Cross for its mitten tree project. This, year they once again sent gift boxes to boys and girls in foreign lands. The Red Cross at Central took an active interest in the Student Foreign Exchange Program. They sponsored an assembly which featured students from Norway, Germany, France, Turkey, and New Zealand. These students told the Central High students about life in their own countries. The Red Cross, with the help of Miss Legate, the advisor; Cleo Eek. President; Gordon Wilson, Vice President; Dianne Nelson. Secretary; Sharon Fowler, Treasurer, conducted a very successful Red Cross drive, collecting over two hundred dollars. Central’s Red Cross can be justly proud. 27

DEBATE “We of the affirmative believe that . . . Drifting out of Mr. Vakos’ room came sentences like that to prove that Central’s debate team was hard at work on the question of the year: Should the President of the United States be elected by the direct vote of the people? Although no definite conclusion was reached, every member of the debate team gained valuable experience. The Warren Debate is an annual affair, pitting the juniors against the seniors; and as there were no seniors on the debate team, two junior teams competed. Beverly Hallquist and Peggy Buhr-man of the negative were this year’s winners. Row 1: Keating, Nelson P. Row 2: Mr. Vakos, Stiloi, Hallquiit, Horner, Oehler, Buhrman. Row 3: Madsen, Gottlieb. OFFICE HELP The important task of keeping the business matters of Central functioning smoothly is performed by the people who work in the school office and the counselors’ office. These students volunteer their services to help in such ways as typing, sorting mail into the teachers’ boxes, operating the switchboard, and checking the attendance cards. This work provides excellent training for those who intend to continue in office work after graduation. These students have given up their study hours to assist in these vital tasks, and we at Central are extremely grateful to them for their fine service.
