W. W. PREPARES FOR INTER- SCHOLASTIC DEBATES Although handicapped by making а late start, the W. W. Debating Society has had a very successful term. Under the guidance of Fannie Bear and Mr. Rowan the meetings were most interesting. After the business part of the meeting, debates and individual speeches were heard. А debate was held on Ше prop- osition, Resolved, That a uniform dress for girls should be adopted in Central. The affirmative was upheld by Fannie Bear and Minnie Strauch, the nega- tive by Fannie Wiess and Fannie Abramson. The negative won. Їп another debate the club discussed the proposition, Resolved, That trade unions are, on the whole, beneficial. The affirmative side, which was taken by Louis Goldberg and Samuel Bomse, de- feated the negative, which was upheld by Abe Wohl and Abraham Slomniger. Joseph Fingerhut and Frank Seco have given individual speeches. The club intends to debate with South Side High School and the members are trying out for the event, which will take place some time in January. The club’s best representatives will try for places on the school team, which will be pitted against Bar- ringer in the Rutgers Interscholastic Debating League. PRIZE CONTEST ANNOUNCEMENTS The faculty picture contest announced in the last issue of THE Pivot was won by Miss Sadie Weitz- man, room 206. The teacher, whose picture was published last month, was Mr. Caruso, room 208. Miss Weitzman's answer was the only correct one re- ceived, so she will receive the prize, a year's subscrip- tion to THE Pivot, beginning with the next issue. Other teachers suggested were the Messrs. McMillan. Snodgrass, Arnao, Lewin, Herzberg, Goldstein, An- derson, Griffin, Griffith, Knowlton, Conklin, Orner, Dickerson and Webb. See another page of this issue for details of the January contest. Owing to the fact that the answers in the slogan- trade-mark contest held by the Loges-Wiener Co. and THE Ргуот were по! sufficiently good to award any of the prizes offered, the contest has been thrown open again. Particulars of the contest are to be found in the last issue of THE Pivot. The same ones will prevail, except that the answers must be in before January 26. MUNICIPAL CONCERT IN CENTRAL On December | 3 a free municipal concert was held in Central High School under the auspices of the Common Council committee, of which Mr. Thomas E. Curran is chairman. The music was furnished by Voss’ Orchestra, with Mr. Andrew E. Voss as conductor. He was ably assisted by Miss Alberta Masters, soprano; Mr. John B. Hamilton, baritone; Mr. George J. Kirwan, tenor; and Mr. Frederick C. Voss, accompanist. The entertainment consisted of selections from Lachner, Drigo, Westerhout and others, and songs by Miss Masters and Mr. Hamilton. In keeping with the spirit of the concert, the audience sang some well- known songs. JOURNALIST CLUB Journalism in Central has been given a decided impetus since the organization of the Journalist Club. Mr. Mones, the faculty adviser, has succeeded in get- ting many newspaper men to address the club on phases of journalism. On January 4 Dr. Ellswitt, a writer, discussed newspaper reporting. Mr. Willet, who is connected with Poore's Manual, is soon to speak to the club on Wall Street reporting. At the meeting of the club on December 14, the Pin commit- tee, consisting of Louis Goldberg and Nathan Kranz- ler, submitted pin designs for selection. A talk by Mr. Mones on verse structure proved most beneficial to the members. WIRELESS CLUB CONSTRUCTING INSTRUMENTS Under the leadership of Leo Samuels, the Wireless Club has made great progress. The plans for an entire wireless set have already been completed and construction work is being carried on. The members of the club have built an aerial on the school roof. Samuels is teaching the club the Marconi code. L. Bamberger Co. have supplied the club with cards, on which are printed these codes for distribu- tion among the m embers. А savings club has also been started among the members. I-B'S HOLD SENIOR PROM The 4-B Class tendered the departing 4-A's the usual Senior Prom on December 20th. Isidore Trien was chairman of the arrangements committee. At a recent meeting of the 4-B Class Louis Bron- stein was elected president, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Otis Heath. The Class also elected a new secretary, and Rose Schaeffer received the position.

Two Live Central Clubs THE JOURNALIST CLUB The Journalist Club, since it organized this term. has shown its progressiveness in the rapid strides it has taken. А great deal of interest has been aroused in the pupils of Central through its activities. Under Mr. Mones’ guidance, a number of stories have appeared in THE Pivot. These have received high merit. Men famous in the journalistic world have appeared before tke club, and in the near future, men of greater prominence will speak. Mr. Mones has given the club a series of talks on the short story, and, guided by these and his personal help, some very good material has already been turned out by the members. Under President Goodman, the club meets every Thursday afternoon in Room 216, when a very inter- esting and instructive program is enjoyed. Visitors are always welcome. Members: Bendel, H. W. Nimensky, I. Last month's issue of THE Pivot neglected to mention the fact that the janitors of the school pre- sented Mr. Tomey with a beautiful cut-glass sugar bowl, a cream pitcher, and a flower vase, at the same time that the teachers and the Central Service Club gave him their tokens of appreciation for his faithful services.
