VVe believe that these are very essential qualities which a student should seek to attain in his or her high school career. Their possession will be of inestimable value in the realization of the best in their future as well as being most valuable in their present school life. VVe believe that the Board of Education has conferred a real favor by man- ifesting its support of the policy of our school by granting these line and attrac- tive medals from year to year. Not only does it provide an added incentive on the part of the student, but it gives him or her a concrete reminder of' a worthy achievement. VVQ are pleased to announce the names of the following students who won the medals for the school year of 1928-29. Maxine H. Olson, '29 tDo- mestic Artj 3 Clara M.

DEBATING TEAM Ax I 'walls Ivy niysvlf l :Ind talk fo nzyxvlf- Debating has been very popular at Covert this year. Our teams are indeed sorry that for this year debating is over for them. Not only have they enjoyed the friendly battles and-the friendships which have resulted from their contact with fellow workers from other schools, but they are now realizing some of the benefits gained from their work. The jury. one of our much discussed American institutions, is no longer a vague and unknown term, but a deiinite and interest- ing factor. Speech making in the Assembly is not a thing to dread, but one of the ordinary occurrences of' school life. Although ten points out of a possible sixteen did not permit entrance into the State Elimination Contest, nevertheless. those same ten points spelled victory in three out of four debates. Covert is proud of her four representatives who have never before debated and who, in fact, previous to this year, had never but once attended a debate. Next year should bring greater victories because our team will consist of only one inexperienced debator and of two veteran debators, Ruth and Margaret. Furthermore, who knows but that next year will bring us for that inexperienced debator another Bernard to astound our patrons with his heights of oratorical reasoning. 46

GLEE CLUBS Sing a ,mug of Si.l'f'C'lll'l' .4 fmvkvf full of rye. Music, in its second year of activity, progressed very rapidly under the di- rection of Miss Muscott. Both the girls' and the boys' Glee Clubs, at the begin- ning of the year, organized into functioning bodies. The girls' club chose for its name, Philharmonic, while the boys' club chose 0rpheus for its name. Rehearsals were held once a week for each club. On November eleventh, the Orpheus club entertained the XYatervliet Boys Glee Club at a very enjoyable affair. A Christmas program was given on December eighteenth, in which both clubs appeared. The Philharmonic club gave the Christmas Cantata, The Angel and the Star. Soon after Christmas, work was begun on the Operetta, The Gypsy Rover, a romantic musical comedy, which was given on April twenty-tifth and was a big success. It was the climax of the whole year's activities in music, for both the clubs. Its success was due to the careful and patient training of our director, Miss Muscott. 48
