B An activity in Ilion High's galaxy of clubs is the Latin Club, S.P.Q.R. fthe Senate and the Ro- man Peoplel, sponsored by Miss Clare Wasmer. The club started off the year by holding an initiation meeting, with the Latin III class initiat- ing new members and talking about duties of var- ious officers. At Christmastime, the Latin III class put on the Saturnalia,' or Roman Christmas party. Many interesting meetings were held in 1953, and a successful dance was held. DEBATE IILUB After many years of absence, llion has seen the return of a Debate Club. The school had a Das- son Club under the direction of Mr. Sisson, later of Mrs. Harold Day. Miss Ruth Gordon organized another club in the 1953 term, after 28 students attended debates at Hamilton College. Debates at Norwich, Albany, area discussions and a dinner meeting were scheduled. As members of the National Forensic League, members of the club resolved, That NATO countries should form a federal union. 2 Seated, Left to Right: P. Thomes, J. Baker, N. Dena- pole, Miss Cordon, S.
