Mair and Eleanor Peterson gave very success- ful humorous monologues. Eugene Kuzmiak played a difficult piano selection. Mr. Kuzmiak, a graduate of Clifton High, is now a student at the Damrosch Institute. The Senior Class successfully conducted an assembly on December 2. The flag salute was led and announcements made by Dot Howard. William Quackenbush read the Bible and led the school in the Lord’s prayer. Betty Lamber- son introduced the speaker, Mr. Paul Clark, of the Pace and Pace school of Accountancy. Mr. Whiting made it possible for us to view the workings of a New ork Telephone Co. office on December 17. An exhibition consisting of dummy switch-boards allowed us to see just how calls are handled. Christmas was celebrated on December 22. A quartet composed of Hertha Sandig, Marie Jorlett, Franklin Cross and Jacob Kuliek gave two fine selections. Interesting recitations were also given. The graduating classes of the school had their farewell assembly on January 26. Seven pupils received certificates for completing the 2-year Commercial Course. The 37 graduates of the 4-year courses were also on the stage. The foot- ball and track letters were awarded at this as- sembly. The orchestra has played selections at all assemblies. Its members deserve a great deal of credit for what they have accomplished. Instead of the usual Reflector Rally, members of the staff have spoken at different times. Those who have spoken are: Robert Caverly, Editor-in-Chief; Warren Piaget, Literature; Betty Lamberson, Literature; Maude Andras, Reflections; Dot Howard, School News; Harold Lentz, Advertisements. We hope many more interesting assemblies will be held, although many of us regret we can- not be present at them. Dot Howard, Feb. ’27. 1 A(JE TWENTY-SEVEN

THE REFLECTOR CLIFTON HIGH SCHOOL FEBRUARY 9 2 7 THE DEBATING CLUB The Debating Club is one of the recently or- ganized clubs of Clifton High School, owing its origin to the sponsors of the club, Miss Morrell and Miss Merrey, both teachers in the English department. The purpose of this club is to pro- mote public speaking and to prepare one for public discussion and debating. As we were or- ganized in October and hold our meetings on Thursday of every other week, there has not been a great deal of time spent in debating, for the election of officers, the composing of the Constitution and By-Laws, and the learning of rules of debating have kept us busy. But in spite of all these details we have had debates on the following topics: Resolved: That the Five-Day Labor Week be Adopted by the Industrial Concerns of the United States, in which the negative side won. The second topic was on: Resolved: That the Philippines be given their Independence. This time the nega- tive side was again victorious. The third de- bate was on: Resolved: That Student Govern- ment be Adopted in the Clifton High School. The negative side won this debate, presenting forceful reasons. We have made excellent progress under our capable sponsor and officers, who are Ludwig Schafer of class ’27, President; Miss Ruth Hornby of class ‘28, Vice-President; and Wil- liam Wolstenholme of class '29, Secretary. The coming spring term has a brighter outlook than the past, and we hope to make excellent progress in the line of debating and speaking. William Wolstenholme, Secretary. ASSEMBLIES During the past term assemblies have been held regularly each Wednesday. Many fine programs have been heard and greatly enjoyed by all. Our first assembly on September 15 was made interesting and inspiring by the address of Mr. Smith, superintendent of schools. He laid stress on the fact that to receive good from study, we must concentrate. Columbus Day was observed on October 13. Mr. Richards had charge of the program. A piano selection was played by Betty Lamberson. The well known poem “Sail On’’ was recited very well. A rare treat was had when the Howell Glass Blowers visited the school on October 25. Their entertainment consisted of a lecture and demon- stration of blowing glass into various shapes. A souvenir glass pen was given to each one who attended the performance. A new form of advertising the Senior Play was used on November 17. A scene from the play was given—a most telling kind of adver- tising. Thanksgiving assembly under the direction of Miss C. Smith was one of the best. Adaline PAGE TWENTY-SIX
