Boy’s Sextet This is the first year for the boys sextet, and it has proved to be a worth while organization. The boys have made several public ap- pearances which were appreciated by their audiences and enjoyable to them. Girl’s Glee Club The main project for this year was the presentation of the spring cantata, “The Childhood of Hiawa- tha.” The personnel of this organiza- tion is limited to the three upper grades. Chester School Orchestra Any student that is capable of playing his instrument is eligible to enter orchestra regardless of his age The present orchestra personnel in- cludes students from the fifth to the twelfth year. High School Chorus This organization is open to any high school student. There is an en- rollment of fifty voices which makes an inspiring group with which to work. Their main appearance was at the baccalaureate services.

More than forty spirited students responded to the early December call for participation in debate. All but one lacked experience; accordingly their open minds drank the fundamentals. Two-member af- firmative and negative teams clipped out versatile and often humorous issues on such questions as the the following: “Resolved that a system of pass or fail be substituted for the grading system, and, provocative of more interest—“Resolved that girls should ask boys for dates, each sharing half the expense. Following the Christmas vacation the group was divided into Varsity and Reserve teams. The Reserve speakers continued debating the date question in a two-round schedule with Lagro and Lin- lawn. Meanwhile the varsity group worked diligently on the state question—“Resolved that all electric utilities should be governmentally owned and operated.” Practice debates were held with South Whitley .Wabash, and other schools. The season’s most enjoyed and inspirational day was January 16 on which day the Varsity teams entered the Ft. Wayne Practice Tournament held at North Side High School. Those who partook of. this event were: Affirmative: Thelma Conrad, Bonita Michael, Eileen Emley, Bette McClure, and Dee Royer; and Negative: Dorothy Blickenstaff, Dorothy Shanahan, Royal Neher, Edward Gilbert and Robert Gidley. The sectional contest was held at Wabash on Feb. 7 and 20. This county tournament closed our season, Chester winning from Laketon and losing to Central, Linlawn. and Wabash.
