UQUQQQUUVJ 23 I ATI ILETIC ASSOCIATION DEBATING CLUB

Page 24 text:

L I STUDENT COUNCIL The first meeting of the Student Coun- cil was held on September 9th, with Mr. Dummer as faculty adviser. The following officers were elected: Presi- dent, Linwood NV1heeler, Vice President, Charles Rus-sell, Treasurer, Edmund Seekins, Secretary, Arvene Ha-m. The members were chosen under the same set-up as in past years. The Coun- cil decided to use the money from the magazine campaign to buy a movie pro- jector and a public speaking system. Money from the sale of candy has been used to buy movies. Meetings were to be held every other Monday. This became unnecessary, as there have been few problems to come before the Council this year. Attend- ance at meetings has been compara- tively good. The grea-test problem has been that of assemblies. Lack of interest in get- ting up the assemblies has prevailed among the students. Numerous plans have been tried to carry out these pro- grams, but none have been successful. Any organization in debt has had the chance to sell candy to make up the deficit. Arvene Ham '48 , ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Athletic Association was again organized in October 1948 and the fol- lowing officers were elected: President, Kenneth Pelkie, Vice President, Ashley Parker, Secretary, Joanne Jamieson, Treasurer, Pauline Wheeler. The representatives are: Baseball, Linwood Wheeler, Boys' Varsity Bas- ketball, Roger Jordan, Cross Country, Ivan Estes, Softball, Mary Bragg, Girls, Varsity Basketball, 'Colleen Stromback, Winter Sports, Lloyd Cookson, Girls' Cubs, Ethelyn Wheeler, Boys? Cubs, Raymond Martin, Cheerleading, Pa- , ,, ..., 'I l 'l I I 'l' tricia Scribner, Track, Maynard Yake- more. This year we decided to have the meetings the third Monday in every month in Room 8, and also have a few evening meetings. A cheerleading representative was added to the association for the first time this year. The association voted that everyone going out for sports must purchase a season ticket, the price of 'Which has been two dollars and forty cents. Our other source of income has been the coke machine. If any sports team runs over i-ts budget of fifty dollars the team may sell candy until the deficit is made up. The Athletic Association has proven to be a satisfactory setup this year and we hope it may continue in the follow- ing year. . Joanne Jamieson '50 DEBATING CLUB The Debating Club has ten members, with Clara Burdin president and Bev- erly Davis secretary. The subject for debating this year has been: Resolved, That the Federal Government Should Require Arbitra- tion of Labor Disputes in All Basic American Industries. A practice debate was held at Skow- hegan High School on Feb. 18th. Donn MacLaruchlan and Rita Bunker were the speakers for H. A., who upheld the negative. Th-ere was ra return practice at Hartland on March 11th. Here George Quimby and Harold Duran of I-I. A. presented the affirmative. Waterville High School visited H. A. next, for the first league contest, which Waterville Won. March 23 our second league debate was held at Foxcroft Academy, which we lost by a narrow margin. Rita Bunker '50
