The seniors and juniors debated the question, Resolved: That unemployment insurance would be beneficial to the United States . The senior team, consisting of Margaret Novak, captain, Hector Zucchino, Arthur Dyer, and--e Fred Oman, was victorious. The juniors-Dean Grandin, captain, Charles Sheridan, Samuel Rosenthal, and lbiary Calkins-upheld the affirmative side of the argument. The second debate was between the freshmen and sophomores on the question, Resolved: That interclass debating, as generally conducted in American high schools, is beneficial .

THE PIONEER val 'IGF THE HONOR SOCIETY HE idea of several of the faculty that proficiency in scholarship should receive greater recognition by the high school has culminated in the formation of the honor society, which is composed of those seniors and juniors who stand high- est in their class work, The charter members of the society were chosen from the senior class only, but in January one senior and the three juniors who are outstanding in scholarship and all-round ability were added to the society. No definite organization has yet been decided upon but lN'Irs. Foley has been chosen as faculty adviser to be assisted by lvliss Waller. It is planned to link the society with one of the national ones, but no steps can be made to carry out this aim until the society is organized. It is expected that the society will not only reward high marks, but will enable its members to prove of real benefit and service to the school in various ways. The charter members of the honor society are: Evelyn Binder, Philip Ciancio, Doris Deutsch, Carey Johansen, Dorothy llfluchmore, Fred Oman, Virginia Oman, Marjorie Ortlip, Mary Scott, and Hector Zucchino. Those students added in Jan- uary are Mildred Yach, senior, Dean Grandin, Katherine Krall, and Agnes Walsh. EVELYN BINDER '3l. wif 40 3.3,.,,-
