The Footlights club was organized in 1926 and since then, under the able leadership of J. L. Purdy, has attained the reputation of being one of the best and most active clubs in the school. Mem- bership in this club is recognized as a real accom- plishment since the club is one of the outstanding in the school and the membership is restricted. The only students eligible to a place in this organiza- tion are juniors or seniors, who have dramatic abil- ity, are interested in dramatics, and whose grades are satisfactory. The club always has a waiting list of candidates who desire election to a place in the club. The number of members is strictly re- stricted to twenty-four, so that many are disap- pointed each semester as there are usually but four or five vacancies. The aim of the club is to pro- mote dramatics, improve scholarship and to ren- der service to the school. It can be said that the aim is also being accomplished. During the lust year, the Footlights club put on four convocations independently, in addition to furnishing skits and entertainment for various oc- casions. The first convocation was a one-act play by George Ade, The Mayor and the Manicure which was s. great success. This play wus directed by a student, Evelyn Irwin. The next show consisted of two plays, So This Is Paris directed by Peggy Wetlker, and The Butler under the dir- ection of Benton Gillingham. A vaudeville show of four fine skits compromised the next show while the last convocation featured The Barnyard Sympathy Orchestra. which went over big. The responsibility for the sale of tickets to the Senior and All School plays devolves upon the Footlights club which has always responded with a full house for the evening performance.

G ladys Wickham 1 In November, 1923, a group of thirteen boys and girls, interested in debate, organized the Harding Debate club, under the supervision of Mrs. Iva Morrison. This small group has spread its interest and enthusiasm for debate and oratory until the club now consists of thirty active members. One of the outstanding events of each year is the Hurding Debate club banquet given on the closing day of' the first semester. The pur- pose' of the banquet is to pay tribute to the de- bate teams. It's popularity may be judged from the fact that 67 students attended this year. Superintendent O. C. Pratt has been the guest of honor for the past two years. The members of the club have sponsored the organizing of the National Honor Society and the National Forensic League which is the first to be organized in the state of Washington. ' During the year 1928-1929 a, Student Benefit Fund was started which the members hope to ' 2 add to each year until it becomes of real value to the school. This year the club has started a. campaign to interest the grade schools, tributary to Hillyard High, in debate. A cup, to be known as thc Hardiug Debate Club Cupf' will be awarded to the school winning the championship for three years out of four. Each year the club finances debate by giving a- pay convocation. This year the program con- sisted of the following numbers: A comedy farce: Mechanical Jane, by Florence Bope, Myra Lindsay and Mildred Lynch.
