ScrgvurzI-at-.alrms Debating came into its own with the formation of the Hibbard High School Debating Club in March, 1925. It was an outgrowth of the former Parliamentary Law Club, which had been under the direction of the English Department. Miss Bristol became the sponsor of the club. Under her able guidance it grew steadily until it has reached about 65 members. Now in its second semester, still under the guidance of Miss Bristol, the club has become one of then clubs of Hibbard. Debating is a subject of importance and interest to all and in time lu come the Hibbard Debating Club hopes to carry the laurels of debating to Hibbard.

Their waiting list of prospective members is long, and is increasing day by day. The club advocates the four Cs and was very helpful in the campaign for universal observation of them. With Mr. VVhittlesey in charge many enjoyable hikes have been held through the picturesque Sand Dunes. 'l'hese trips cultivate health and the appreciation of nature's beauty, besides self reliance and perseverance. The boys are thriving and their meetings are carried off with despatch, the niemhers giving cheerful and whole-souled support to the officers.

ioa THE LANTERN Qswimmifeg Qlub The Swimming Club was organized in September, 1924. As no tank was obtainable in this neighborhood, to meet with the girl's requirements, they have used the tanks at the Lincoln Turner Hall for the past three years Under the leadership of Mr. XVeher, the director of the Natatorium, the girls have re- ceived excellent instruction in both the primary fundamentals in swimming and diving. Many water games are played such as Water Polo and relay races. The fee per term is three dollars, and tank suits and towels are obtainable for fif- teen cents. A very sanitary shower-room is at the disposal of the girls both before and after the class. In 1925 a swimming meet was held, in which the girl making the greatest number of points in the various events, was proclaimed champion. The lucky girl. last year, was Sadie Wolansky, a shark swimmer and diver. Emblems are given for degrees in swimming. The highest of these is the XVhale. The girls now holding this honor are Sadie VVolansky, Margory Walter, and Sylvia Lessin. The club hopes to succeed in all its attempts and win a worth-while name for themselves. In the semester of September, 1925, the girls started practice for their Life Saving Degrees. The three girls who already had Life Savers Degrees were Sylvia Lessin, Charlotte Mendes, and Beatrix Levin. Those girls who obtained them this semester are Marie Schmidt, Marjorie VValters and Sadie VVolansky.
