THE BOOSTER BOARD The Booster Board, organized by the Student Council in 1928, has as its object the furthering of all student enterprises desiring publicity through as- semblies and other advertising mediums involving student cooperation. Due to the graduation of some members last spring and the departure of the rest, the Board was unable to begin active work the first part of the year. It has, how- ever, planned the basketball assemblies, planned and helped the tournament decorations, sponsored the contest for the best idea for a pep meeting for the tournaments and the best poster, and sponsored an assembly for the band before Opportunity Day. Members are Warren Yemm, representing the Student Council, Beatrice Becker, the music department, Robert Perrin, the band, August Beltzner, the Blue and Gold Club, Caroline Huey, the Girls' Athletic Association, Barbara Brough- ton, senior class representative, Helen Louise Wood, of the junior class, Charles Wheeler, sophomore, and Irene Taylor, freshman. Beatrice Becker is chairman of the Board and Charles Wheeler, secretary. All except the graduates will con- tinue to be members until next February, and those in ofhce will hold their offices until that time. The faculty members are Miss H. A. Wright, chairman, and Mrs. H. V. Givens, sponsors of the Student Councilg and Miss Myra Mather, dean of women. ii 'nib-'ch 'G : - xsiins 'L 106'

THE DEBATING CLUB This is the first year the school has had a debating team since 1905. Mr. Walter L. Myers, history instructor, is the sponsor OF the group, he organized the teams and taught them the fundamentals of debating. There were two teams, the affirmative and negative. Members of the affirmative team were: Harriett Rossi, Louis Spires, Laura Sprague. and substitute. Marv Leach. The members of the negative team were: Constantine Dimas, Frances Enebo, Fay Kramer, and substitute, William Shannon. Although the team was not very successful this year, the future looks brighter because several experienced debaters will not graduate this year. We debated Freeport and East Aurora, and our only victory was against the Freeport negative team which debated here in Joliet. However, the three experienced debaters on the Freeport affirmative side said, You were the hardest team to beat that we ever debated againstf' That was indeed a compliment for the Joliet negative team. Debating is a new institution in this high school that makes thinkers think rapidly when on their feet. Anyone of you who would be a Demosthenes, try for the team next year and try to win the Big Six Conference Debating Champion- ship. X has X Y Log?
