16 The Modulus Talkers-Planners j ORE interest was shown in debate this year than there has been exhibited for several years in our school. Miss Beatrice Brown, Miss Martha Tyner and McCabe Day judged the talkers and made their decision. The students were judged on delivery, argumen- DEBATE Back Row: Donald Freehafer, Glenn Rickert, Louis Nie, Richard Dennie: Front Row: Robert Feigel, Miss Brown, Alice Hurd, Miss Tyner, Mary Farmer, Jack Hefner tation, and strategy, with the following eight students being chosen: Mary Farmer, Robert Feigel, Glenn Rickert, and Donald Freehafer to support the yes side, and Alice Hurd, Jack Hefner, Louis Nie, and Dick Dennie to uphold the no side. The subject for argument as proposed by the Indiana State High School Debating League was as follows: Resolved, That the several states should adopt some form of compulsory unemployment insurance. As has been the custom for the last two years, a second team was chosen. Berenice Brenn, Ruth Allison, Eudora Stephan, Marianna McCrum, Raymond Blocker, and Helen Jackson are the ones chosen for this team. The first team debated Central of Fort Wayne, War- saw, Columbia City, North Side of Fort Wayne, and Wabash —all of these in the North- eastern League. The teams lost every de- bate in the Northeastern sea- son, but with the experience gained hope to do better in the schedule of the State League which is held during the spring months, using the same subject. OLLOWING the example set forth by our ancestors years ago when our nation was just forming, the students of Huntington High School are having a voice in the govern- ment of the school. One delegate is chosen from each sponsor group to represent that group at the meetings. This year the Student Council has put into effect the limiting of extra-curricular activities of the pupils. This is based upon the grades the students receive and what the activity is. The activities have been divided into major and minor ones, and a student is allowed to have so many major and minor activities, depending upon his grades. The Student Council mem- bers and their alternates are as Dennie, Betty Ashley, Mi c s Brown; Paul Schepper, Georgia Plummer, Mr. Day; Lora Vawter, John McClure, Miss Hoff- man; Earl Wiley, Alfred Dolson, Mr. Brown; Theron Feigel, Esther Strickland, Miss Gray- Bernard Forrest, Rosabelle Bridgins, Miss Rup- ert; Ethel Chalmers, Glenn Rickert, Miss Moore Fred Derr, John Hoover, Miss Weiford; Wilbur Teusch, Ruth Allison, Mr. Bucher; Jack Hef- ner, Annamae Oatis, Miss Tyner; Billy Cool- man, Harold Smith, Miss Altman; Charles Pohler, Maxine Lutz, Miss Watson; Carlene (Continued on page 32) follows: Dick STUDENT COUNCIL Back Row: Paul Schepper, Bernard Forrest, Richard Dennie, Fred Allman, Wilbur Teusch, Theron Feigel, Kenneth Fahl.

The Modulus 15 urer; and Miss Alwood was elected Junior Sponsor. Committees are necessary to keep this class booming and the boomers selected are: Social Committee: Earl Wiley, Chairman; Joe Moore, Kenower Hughes, Russell Hubartt, and Herbert Herendeen. Ring and Pin Committee: Marjorie Barn- hart, Chairman; Florence Dunkin, John Mc- Clure, and Theron Feigel. The Juniors ordered their rings and pins, as has been the custom for the last two years. They started selling campaigns early, and sold candy, hot dogs, magazine subscriptions, and what not. In the magazine subscription campaign, the Juniors divided themselves into two groups, with Peg Mehring and Louis Nie as captains and stim- ulators of the movement. The contest netted 50 per cent profit, and the class members certainly did their bit in this way, by earning money for the annual Junior-Senior Reception to be held May 26 at the Masonic Temple. At the football games the Juniors worked exceedingly hard and the industrialists had on its roll of honor Ann Elizabeth McClelland, Peg Mehring, Charlotte Lowey, Betty Ash- ley, Virginia Bunce, Audrey Beck, Dorothy Steele, Mary Grossman, Eloise Hannon, Cather- ine Row, Louis Nie, Kathleen Wagoner, and Jean Paul. Chapter III We proceed now to our sturdy friends — the Sophomores, who are advancing, slow but sure. We expect big things of them and in future years we can point with pride to them, thinking of their pleasant days in Huntington High School. Of course, they held an election and the fin- al tallies showed Tom Moore as President; Mar- garet Felton, Vice-President; Ervin Ade, Secre- tary-Treasurer; and Miss Brown as their trusted and tried Advisor. The Sophomores ' officers and Miss Brown put their heads together and elected the following helpers: Refreshment Committee: Audrey Rankin, Chairman; Margaret Baker, Norman O ' Malley, Evalyn Cox, Donald Miller, and Roland Plast- erer. Decoration Committee: Helen Cull, Chair- man; John Fitch, Margaret Hanna, Lillian Jay, Edward Fisher, and Keith Jamison. Entertainment Committee: Dorothy Mar- tin, Chairman; Dorothy Bell, Clayton Balzer, and DeForrest Landis. The Sophomores had planned for a Hal- lowe ' en party, but their plans fell through be- cause of conflicting dates, and so they will have a real party later on. Chapter IV The Freshmen must not be forgotten, and we all take off our hats to them. They haven ' t been up here long enough to accomplish anything of a high degree, but it can readily be seen that they are on the right road, which eventually will lead them to fame and glory. The Freshmen de- cided that since they were not really well-ac- quainted with each other, they would postpone their election of officers until the second se- mester. This is a very wise plan indeed, and one to be admired in every respect. Here ' s to you, class of 1935! SENIOR OFFICERS Geraldine Scheiber, Richard Den- nie. Miss Watson, Billy Cool- man.

Religious Committee: Glenn Rickert, Chair- man; John McClure, and Allen Meier. Social Committee: Lewis Kimmel, Chair- man; Donald Freehafer, and James Meier. Initiation Committee: Jack Hefner, Chairman; Clint McClure, and Richard Book. Twenty-seven members remained in the club from last vear, with the membership limited at forty. A ruling was made that three consecutive absences would cause a member to be expelled. The following new mem- bers were initiated this fall: John Hoover. j»e Moore, Warren Heeter, John Cull, Harold Casper, Ken- ower Hughes, Francis Eckert, Dale Hoover, Robert Bailey, William Allman, Louis Nie, and Paul Kennedy.

The Hi-Y members also maintain a cheer- ing section at the basketball games. Here they stand for clean sports, clean speech, clean schol- arship, and clean habits. The section aims to uphold the team and officials. Some of the special meetings which were held during the year were the first meeting which was held on September 7, at which time the plans for the year were made and the initia- tion meeting which was held on October 8 at which time two forms of initiation took place. On November 5 some of the members went to Wabash where they had charge of initiating members into the Wabash Hi-Y Club. This was on Sunday, and the initiation took place in the Presbyterian church at five o ' clock. To arouse more interest among the mem- bers to attend the meetings, a contest was held under the leadership of Jack Hefner and Louis Nie. Jack Hefner captained the Reds while Louis Nie captained the Blacks. At the end of six weeks the losers were to entertain the winners During the winter, the program will follow four lines of work: vocational, religious, world re- lationship, and health and hygiene.
