STAGE CREW Included in the productions upon which the stage crew worked so diligently this year were the Vodvil, Senior Play, and the Junior Play. Of course, the most enjoyment derived from working on any stage crew is had during the process of tearing down the scenery after the performance. Many of the stage crew members would be glad to verify this statement. The crew was handicapped somewhat this year, since their properties have been scattered and are being kept in several places because their old resting place has been torn down by the construction crew working on the new high school building. However, during the destruc- tion of their abode, many old properties were uncovered and since they had not been used for about five years were very promptly put in the junk pile. Initiation was held for four new' members this year and from all reports it was a bigger and better initiation than ever before. Mr. W. D. Goble, Industrial arts teacher, is the adviser of the stage crew, and Allen Solems- lie was the manager of the group this year. DEBATE Edmonds high school with a green team this year kept its debate record high. Edmonds w'as the only school from Snohomish County repre- sented at the district tournament this year and it was also the only school that won a debate with a two-man team. Because of being isolated, so to speak, the Edmond’s team was in the dark as far as details of the debating practice to be used in the tour- nament, were concerned. Because of this isola- tion, it was impossible to have any of the reg- ular debate practices with teams from other schools. Despite this disadvantage the team traveled to Bellingham on November 11, where they won two debates and lost two debates. A new' method of debate, the problem solving method which has recently grown in popu- larity, w'as used this year. In spite of the fact that they had to start with inexperienced teams this year, since the debate team of last year was made up of seniors, the team did well. Carol Bucklin was regularly a first team member while Joe Harris and Bob Rhodes alternated on the first team. Arland Smith gained experience, which will be val- uable next year, as a second team member. Standing: Eric Carlson. Vic Roc. E,1 Nyman. Allen Solenwlic, George Armstrong, James Lung.

ART CLUB The Art Club, which was made up of nine members this year, put out some commendable work. The group made posters and did all the advertising necessary for such productions as the Senior Play, Junior Play, Senior Dance, and the Girls’ Club activities. Through the initiative of Katherine John- stone and Mr. S. C. Caudill, business manager, the Art Club was organized last year, and since its organization the club has been almost indis- pensable to the student body because of its use- ful work. In order to become a member of the Art Club, a person must make a poster which has written on it, “The Edmonds Art Club Meets 8th Period,” and then have the work approved by the art instructor. This is the only requirement necessary to become a member of the Edmonds high school Art Club. The number of members in the club this year exceeds that of last year by two members, how- ever, many of the members are seniors who will be graduated this year. The members who are not seniors and students who will join next year are expected to keep up the good work the club has been doing during its two years of exist- ence. RADIO CLUB Ihe Radio Club was very much handicapped this year, since the radio room, where they kept all the equipment and held their meetings, had to be torn down, in order to begin construction work on the new high school building. This made it necessary to move radio equipment to the home of George Blough, who acts as tru tee for the club. Since they could not hold regular meetings very conveniently in members’ homes, the club has been rather inactive during the year. How- ever, at the beginning of the year when they were “in action,” so to speak, they held meet- ings once or twice a week and made a thorough study of the theory of radio. At the beginning of the year the club was made up of approximately ten members, and according to Mr. D. A. Jacobson, science teacher and adviser of the club, they will re- sume their regular duties as usual next fall. Only a few of the members of the club are seniors who will be graduated this year.
