Cooperation and hard work by every member of the staff has made possible the production of this year book. Behind the scenes but necessarily an impor- tant part in the production of this book was the tremendous volume of Work turned out by our typists, Winifred Cole and Bita Deerr. The staff also wishes to express its appreciation to Ioe Longden, for his assistance in selling advertis- ing and to Miss Gildersleeve and Miss Schrader Whose clerical work in the office was a great help, This book is the outgrowth of nearly seven months activity on the part of the staff and we hope that the results of its conscientious effort are appreciated. 1 t , I A ga

.gm A-...f.....--. ...x-.Lj-.,,T,s T-,i -5' VARSITY DEBATE TEAM leffersons debate squad has enjoyed a particularly successful season this year. Very few people realize the hard work and intensive training necessary for a successful debate team. To intelligently debate a subject, a great deal of information must be obtained on the subject debated and then a certain degree of skill in presenting these facts must be attained. Coupling these factors with a knowledge of debate tactics and strategy we have the recguisites for a good debate team. Mr. l-lorn, coach of debate, in his first year here at Iefferson, trained a group of students only one of whom had had previous debating ex- perience, and this group, by taking a keen interest in their activity, were able to win the championship of this district. They then lost a close decision to Frank- fort in the zone debates. During the regular season, 33 debates were scheduled. Of these leff won 3U and lost 3. Highlights of the season were the Annual Debate Conference at Purdue, the Invitational Tournament at Anderson, and of course the district and zone tour- naments in which left participated. The question adopted by the Indiana State Debate League as a basis for this year's discussion was: Resolved, That the Federal Government should adopt the policy of egualizing educational opportunity throughout the nation by means of annual grants to the several states for public elementary and second- ary education, Upholding the affirmative side of this question for lefferson were Bob Lawson, George Kaplan, and George W, Smith. Taking the opposing view were Dean Lewis, Hayden Meeker, and Ioe Longden on the negative team. Gene Pechin proved a great asset to both teams by serving as silent alternate. A tremendous volume of work was also done by Annabelle Iones, debate sec- retary, who transferred information from articles in newspapers and magazines to cards which were indexed and filed. At the end of the season the debaters were awarded sweaters. I 1

T r e a s urer Cooperating with the school officials in the performance of many helpful serv- ices, the Girls' Advisory Council has a definite part in the success of our drama. The Girls' Council was organized in l92l with Miss Kimmel as sponsor. To- day the membership has increased almost three times. Every girl aspires to become a member of the Council. The faculty recommends a limited number of upper class girls for membership, and it is an honor to wear the emblem of the organization. The Council has many purposes: perhaps the most important is to develop a feeling of fellowship towards the school. The Council aims to train the girls for leadership, to encourage service to the school, and to cooperate with all other school activities. Office and Library Scout work, and Sunshine First Aid Boom are among the most important opportunities for service, At Christmas, the Council aids the Sunshine Society in its charity work for the less fortunate. During the year the club holds two meetings a month. A breakfast is given annually on Mothers' Day for the mothers. At every meeting the following creed is given by one of the girls' I will put my best efforts in each days task. l will not forget that poverty and riches are of the spirit. Although the world knows me not, l shall endeavor to make my thoughts and actions such as shall keep me friendly with myself and neighbors l shall walk calmly in the path allotted to me Then will my friends love me for what l am and l shall make the world a better place by my exam- ples.
