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.

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.

l Library This year the students formed a library committee with representatives from each class in the high school. It was voted a standing committee of the school by the G. O. members and has worked under the able supervision of Mrs. A. Tomlinson. The cataloging and classifying of all the books was perhaps the most difficult job undertaken and an audible sigh went up upon its completion. ln order to raise money to supply the school with new reading material, a Saint Patrick's Day raffle was held and the winner presented with an album of records. The Zodiac Room was chosen as the library headquarters. There is always one member of the committee present to help the students find their material. The library committee hopes to continue its work with as much co-operation from students and faculty as it has had this past year.
