At ail regular meetings, the members play French games, learn French songs, and li'ten 10 French records on the victrola. One of the favorite French games that the club lias enjoyed playing is a card game called l.e Ramoncur. a French version of the American game of “Old Maid . Sometimes a feu members of the group put on a French skit for the enjoyment of the others. French movies have been shown at several meetings and refreshments have been served The club owes much to its teacher and adviser for the cnjoym lit of this activity. J. Gehrtng, E. O'Brien, J.

It is named for the number which made it famous—Tiger Hag, though there may he nore personal reasons. To become a Wildcat you must fulfill two requirements: you must he a male, and you must leave little to be desired as a musician. (This explains why Wildcats arc so rare.) Their main activities are: playing at pep meets, and basketball games, and disturbing any one within two blocks, when they practice.

Delavan High School organized a school paper entirely on it own and apart from any other local publication. This was accomplished with the work of our new speech teacher Mr. Nus. who managed to interest a few “supposed to be brainy individuals in both the Junior and Senior High School. The staff was organized and work began immediately. The paper was named the Delavan Echo and since it- first publication has increased in volume, skill and— er-price. Lyle Olson is the editor. A special bit of credit is due those members of the staff who gave a double duty, that of preparing the paper in add tion to their respective assignments. Most of the typists arc staff members and inclnd •. Lyle Olson. Joanne Hansen. Carol Atwood. Janet MeCommons. Evelyn McKinney, Du Wayne Sheldon, and Caroline Dcckcrt. Wc give thanks to Mr. Xus for his help, and to all who have helped to make this paper possible, including all you kind souls who have patronized the Echo. Wc hope you have enjoyed it and will continue to do so next year. THE SAFETY SQUAD Row 1: D. Homan. D. Doherty, C. Sowlrr. R Hirt . B. Gallup. C. Spencer, A. Freitas, B. Hylleberr. F. Chipper.

The debaters, with their coach. Mr. Nus had quite a successful season. Most people, unless they have had experience in this, think of the gruesome amount of work in debating, plus the horrifying thought of speaking for ten minutes. Debat -rs will not deny that there i a certain amount of work, hut the fun of debating makes up for it As for speaking, any debater will tell you that speaking provides a good argument and those arguments can get warm. This season the question up for debate was; Resolved: That the Power of the DEBATE Federal Government Should Me Increased.’' 1'his was a good debatable question with sides quite evenly divided. In our debates we met several of the surrounding teams ami entered a few tournaments. a few of them being Whitewater. Rockford, and Watertown. In all of our debates. Negative or Affirmative, first or second team, we slid our best. We of the debate teams fed that as a whole we have profited by the season, and had a grand time.
