Speech Club ,.g.., Organized last year, the Speech Clubs main purpose is to encourage a desire for rhetoric Cwhich, by the way, is defined by Webster as being the power to charm and to influence . . . through correct and forceful language, that is!J among high school students, and to interest those who are outstanding in this art to take an active part in its activities. Who knows?-we may have a second Patrick Henry among us! The winners in the oratorical declamtion section of the local speech contest held during the Dramatic and Speech Workshop Hour the week of April 5th-9th, were Louise Nicholls, with her presentation of All This and Heaven Too, and Bill Strong with Our Second Chance. Beverly LaHaie, The Telltzle Heart , and Pat Yeadon, The Black Cat, took honors in the dramatic declamation. Unless one has given a speech, he cannot imagine what the word nervous means! Picture yourself standing before an expectant audienceg you have your speech down pat, but all of a sudden your mind is a complete blank! Your beaming expression vanishes, the audi- ence begins to squirm. Ah yes, it's all in learning the art of correct speech. Top honors in the original oration group went to Bill Marcou and his The Rise of a New Philosophyf' and to Bill Carpenter's One World or Two? . The above students, of whom we are very proud, represented good old Iron Mountain High in the district contest held at Menominee on April 16th. Other participants in the oratorical reclamation group were Jean Martin, who gave t'For Whom the Bell Tolls g Joanne Sesanerio, Our Brother's Keeper g Ann Cohodas, To- morrow's World g Shirley Miller, Wake Up, American: Mary Kay Bluem, who gave Tous- sant L'Overture g and Jeanette Bozile, who poke on Joan of Lorraine . Also participating in the dramatic declamation group were Lana Weber, with Dark Victory , and Donna Dagger, who presented Yellow Wallpaper . Presented with Webster's Collegiate Dictionaries, the district winners then partici- pated in the regional contest held at Gladstone in May. The winners of this regional contest won blue and maize banners for their schools' trophy cases. Those winners who went to Menominee were eligible for membership in the Speech Club, which is now composed of eight members. The speech directors, Mrs. Alma Matthewson and Mr. Ward Alquist, also served as judges at the local contest. Through their efforts the club enjoyed a most successful year. Page Fifty seven

Home Room Secretaries Last September, as has been done in the past years, each home-room elected a secre- tary to carry on its different forms of business. These secretaries have done their work faithfully and successfully, and should all be given a hardy, but perhaps a rather sympathetic pat on the back. Heavens! Have you ever tried to reach one of the poor souls on the day the Moun- taineer comes 0ut?? After the top layers of the nigger pilen, grinning from ear to ear and proudly displaying their prizes, have peeled off, the home-room secretary slowly picks him- sell' up and manages to smile . . . at least until the next issue is to be sold! And of course, there are always those several people who never fail to forget their donations to the Red Cross, their money for a certain ticket, etc. The home-room secretary then puts on his most ferocious look, and dives after the unlucky student. Grrrrllll As you probably have gathered, the duties of a home-room secretary are many and varied: carrying on the business and financial affairs of their respective home-rooms, selling Mountaineers, taking orders for Argonauts, distributing the student identification theater cards, and taking charge of the balloting in the various school elections. The whole crew Worked in close coo aeration, producing a smooth atmosphere of harmony. Here's hoping the future secretaiies perform their duties as well and as cheer- fully as they have this year.

H i - Y ..,-.g35..,. lcd by Bob Mortensen, President: Bill Carpenter, vice-Presidentg Ed Sleder, Secre- taryg and Vern Dahlquist, Treasurer, the Hi-Y tried to live up to the club's ideals- to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community the standards of Christian char- acter. Under the eagle eye of lVIr. Egizii, the fellows really were active this year. Among other things, a few of them rolled up their sleeves, and armed with scrub brushes, rags and the like, took the risk of clisdpan hands to get the Rec Room ready for its paint job. They donated the ping-pong table that is so popular down there. Several of the boys took a jaunt uo to Mar- quette for the Older Boys' Conference in November. Our own Eel Sleder was elected vice-President of the conference that is to be here this year. To boost their financial status a little the Hi-Y sold Christmas candy. At all the games this year we could smfll the coffee brewing in the Hi-Y trailer where they sold pop, candy, and such reinforcements. The boys also helped collect money for the Community Chest. Then there were a few parties dotting the so- cial calender. The club joined the Girl Reserves in a Christmas party when they put on a witty skit about Santa Claus that really went over in a big way. There was a picnic at Crystal Lake in the fall and another one with the Kingsford clubs in April. Brh Mn tznscn, Bill Carpenter.
