This yearls edition of the Fledgling again offered a fine opportunity for budding, creative writing talent to emerge and take flight. Staff members of this literary publication, chosen for their ability to analyze critically prose and poems, worked hard at editing works. After months of working the numerous contributions penned by members of the Morton West student body. the staff members turned the writings over to the two advisors, lVlrs. R. Baar and Mrs. C. Schrock, who made the final decisions as to which contributions should be included in the Fleflgling. The magazine was distributed to all English classes during May. TOP ROW: J. Brozovsl-ry, C.

The Senior Honor Society is an honorary organization for the outstanding senior stu- dents under the supervision of Mr. R. Koehler. Each year the members are elected at the end of their junior year by a faculty vote with only the students in the upper twenty per- cent of their class being considered. This year the main duties of the society were to provide tutors for students needing assistance in specific studies and to be the main sponsor of the annual honors banquet at which the new society candi- dates were initiated and other outstanding society students were honored with special awards.

Entrance to the Thespians is based upon the number of points a potential candidate gains by participa- tion and interest in dramatic activities. As an honor society for high school actors and actresses, the Thespians were very active this year. Among the mandatory events were the reg- ional conference at Glenbard East and the student-directed production during the summer. Other activities included a field trip to view Golden Boy, a car wash, a bake sale, and a February flower sale. Miss M. Lichterman contributed her time and effort to aid the members in their endeavors. DEBATE AND NFL Working in groups of four, the debate team analyzed and contrasted one select topic for the entire year. Beginning at district and progressing to the state level, these groups competed together as a team at various tournaments. The teams were judged on a number of different factors such as knowledge of the subject, amount of evidence, and originality of presentation. The novice team received a trophy this year. The members of the' National Forensic League were judged individually. In competition, the students entered various categories including original ora- tion, poetry, serious reading, and comedy. Both organizations worked on a point system, the members were awarded pins and jackets for their efforts.
