The Debate Club The Edgewood School Debate club has now completed its second year of in- tramural debating, during which it has presented nine debates and one forum. Among the subjects so far debated were Communism, the equal rights of Negroes and politi- cal questions. The club is greatly indebted to Mr. Boozer who served as our sponsor for a full year, and to the faculty who have been most generous in providing their services as judges and moderators. After the formal debate is over and during the time that the judges are out of the room, the school is allowed to ask questions or make comments on the subject under question. Some very lively arguments and discussions occur during this time. The Debate club has survived because if offers to its members opportunities for the exercise of every research, literary and dramatic skill they possess.

Social Committee Youll have to cut out some more valentines and we need some more crepe paper in this corner. You might very well have overheard this if you had interrupted the Social Committee while it was preparing the decorations for the St. Valentines Prom. This dance was only one of the many enjoyable evenings provided for Edge- woodians this year through the tireless efforts of the committee members. Other very popular events were informal dances, barn dances, and Splash parties at the Y pool. The Social Committee, the organization at Edgewood which plans and directs all social functions, is composed of a day student and a boarder from each class, and two faculty advisors. Weekly meetings are held at which a chairman, elected by the members, this year Muriel Spindell, presides. The students themselves hire the bands, arrange for the refreshments and do all the decorating. The committee has a lot of fun planning and running the dances, and the whole student body has a wonder- ful time as a result of their hard work. Standing Left to Right: G. Scala, R. Lipman, M. Spimlell, Prexidentf G. Wedell, Mr. Averill. Sitting: B. Bromton, I. Kater, T. Carr, J. Titur, H. Mauser.

Assembly Committee Every Monday, Wednesday' and Friday, between 10:25 a.m. and 10:55 a,m.. the entire junior High and High School is called together. All such meetings are called assemblies , A variety of subjects have been presented this year-art, current events, music, debates, plays, and others. The Putnam Trust Company has been kind enough to lend us, once a month, a painting from a series of contemporary paint- ings. These are exhibited in assembly accompanied by a short talk on the subject by Mr. Delbos. Looking back over the programs we recall the assembly the Seniors gave to advertise the Holly Hop and remember the juniors interpretation of modern affairs? Looking over this, we realize that none of this would have been possible without a good committee to plan it out. Their careful planning has made the lapse in the morning studies both educational and enjoyable. Iflffl lo Riglwlf illzzr. Al'll1I!Il'fL'i. j, 'I'ra.vi. D. SL'hl1l'i6'7A. ll . Vail.
