l THE PIONEER Q60 IGH DEBATING ACTIVITIES URING this eighth annual season of interclass debating in Fort Lee High School the class teams have discussed many topics of importance and interest to the participants and the audience. 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 Sophomores-XVilliam Sheridan, captain, lVIelvin Rosenblum, Robert White, and Paul Lione-came out the victors. The freshman team, com- posed of Kenneth Kilcarr, captain, Charles ltfiiesmer, Frank Ciancio, and llflary Nankivel, upheld the negative. The final contest was held in assembly on lblarch 31.

THE PIONEER 'dl Wt? JOURNALISM CLUB HE Journalism Club undertook for its project this year the publication of a bi-weekly mimeographed high school paper, the FORT LEE-DER, with the aspiration of supplementing it next year with a printed publication. In November, the ninesenior members, with Mr. Whittemore acting as faculty adviser, organized into an editorial staff, and published the first issue Cin six pagesl of the FCRT LEE-DER. The first four issues were entered into the national contest of the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, in which it was awarded third place in its division. As the paper grew to an eleven page sheet, the staff was en- larged to twenty-three. ' All work on the FORT LEE-DER is done after school. Meetings are held at least three times a week. Aid in the. mimeographing of the paper during the first semester of the school year was provided by members of the office practice class, who typed stencils during the class period. The paper now has a group of staff typists. In lhlarch, six members of the club were present at a journalistic conference in Palmyra, New Jersey, and eight attended the three-day Columbia Scholastic -Press Association Convention in New'York City. The FORT LEE-DER, which prints no advertisements, is entirely self-sup- porting, meeting its expenses from the proceeds of the paper which is sold at three cents a copy. The Journalism Club is a member of the National Scholastic Press Association, the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, and the Quill and Scroll, an international honorary society for high school' journalists.
