With the return of their sponsor, Mr. Sugg, the Debate Club was reorganized this year and has rapidly increased in numbers and activities. On the question Resolved: thal the legal voting age should be lowered to 18 years. they held several interesting de- bates with out of town schools. The climax of this year's work was the state tournament during May. MHS was represented by several teams who held their own very well against opposing schools. Their emblems, with the symbolic gavel, were designed by Brice Schuller, freshman. Two members, Jack Murray and Barbara Haines, hold member- ship in the National Forensic League, with other members soon to have enough points to join. Officers are Barbara Haines, Bill LaCombe, and Valerie Yule. Being revived this year is the Radio Club, one of the oldest clubs in MHS. Club mem- bers have been studying radio through the means of reports given on subjects assigned every two weeks. Learning Morse code through the practice of sending imaginary messages is one of the more exciting fea- tures of the club. The club also sponsors the radio magazine found in the library for school use. . . . chief dial twisters

. . . leaders CM Where there is pep and energy, there is the Pep Club. The ambition of most students is to be chosen a member of this honorary organization composed of elected juniors and seniors and the cheerleaders. Always leading in school spirit, they have sponsored numerous pep assemblies and rallies to get up enthusiasm for games. Several of the after game dances have been given by this energetic group also. Keeping the yells going at the games has been the work of our cheerleaders. Less glamorous but part of the Pep Club duties is ushering at foot- ball and basketball games, a job which they have done faithfully. Yes, the Pep Club has really kept the ranch on its toes.

(Dj-j-LCE Had Composed oi volunteers, the Office Squad is one of the busiest groups in MHS. The girls work one period a day for one semes- ter answering the intra-phone and taking all incoming telephone calls. The girls file, deliver the permit list and bulletin third per- iod, and bring persons wanted by the office to the office. One girl also works before and after school each semester posting atten- dance. This group is perhaps one of the most valuable on the ranch. . . . whom are you calling? cjuac Practice makes perfect must be the motto of the library squad as they are getting practical library experience under the capa- ble direction of Miss Kathryn Geiger. The library is open every period and after school until 4:15, with two students at the desk and one girl managing the Girls' Club section. Their duties are to check books out and in, return books to their correct places on the shelves, make out overdue slips, and help other students to find the information they need. The Library Squad should be com- mended for giving its time and energy to help others. M 7 mat
