Debate Team Gains Skill in Analysis and Delivery Meeting weekly, the debate team engaged in dis- cussion sessions and practice debates before enter- ing active competition. Individual and group re- search provided them with material for these pre- paratory debates which were rewarding and chal- lenging. Debate kits, which the school purchased, consisted of pamphlets, reprints from government information services, and books on the subject of nuclear control, disarmament, and the effects of ra- diation. By employing these aids, they prepared for their topic: Resolved: That Nuclear Weapons Should Be Controlled By An International Organ- ization. | Prepared through research and study, the debate team entered competition in the Invitational Debate Tournament and the District Contest sponsored by the Virginia High School League. With both prac- tice and knowledge as their foundation, the mem- bers gained insight into current problem areas, as well as skill in logic, refutation, analysis, organization, and delivery. iaaadddddd area hit] i : j } Lrigiit | i i] é in = fs Ba .

Library Staff Library Assistants Urge Others to Possess Pride Achieving library efficiency was the aim of Miss Margaret Copenhaver, Miss Marie Mason and the library staff. Mending worn bindings, helping con- fused students in selecting reference material, col- lecting overdue fines, reserving needed books, car- ing for and operating the audio-visual equipment, and processing new books were among the duties library assistants performed throughout the day. As the library's facilities expanded, a new job was add- ed. The staff sold a variety of paperback books to encourage students to start their own libraries and increase their appreciation of books. As a valuable component of the scholastic atmos- phere of the library, a ''C ' average was established as the minimum grade requirement for a staff posi- tion. Additionally, they attempted to initiate pride within the Chancellors for their library, having them- selves gained a deeper pride through diligent work.
