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. Row I: Griffin, Mitchell, Norrii, Clarke, Sinclair. Row 2: Anderion P., Hanson M., Hawkinion, Gillespie. Pawelk, Johnson D. Row 3: Vanosek, Preekett, Hanson B., Sundin. 29
