V. , W, THEY IIISIIUSSED WUHLH PHUBLEM5 The Civic Forum Club is an organization of in- telligent students Who meet tenth period every Thursday to discuss world affairs under the Watch- iul eye ot Mrs. Nordman. lt is attended by students who like to argue, students who enjoy Civics, and those who just come to listen. Even though con- clusions are not arrived at most ot the time, the members are given an opportunity to make use of tacttul speaking, democratic procedure, and good common sense. As the president, Lillian Wevik brings down the gavel, voices are hushed until the business matter is disposed ot, and a subject tor debate is announced, such as post-War planning, race prejudice, and peace-time conscription. Then atter some brave soul starts the ball rolling, the dis- cussion is under way With voices rising higher and higher. Statements and answers are tlung back and torth and the air is tilled with lively debate. This versatile group is kept busy debating with clubs of various schools, entertaining guest speakers, and producing assemblies. The Civic Forum Club serves to impose the opinions ot our future citizens! fVlRGlNlA NOVAK THEY SIQILD WAR STAMPS Top RowfLett to Right: Koepke, Mann, Baker, Butash. 3rd Row: l-lolter, VanSpanken, Schmit, Geissler, Kalbrier, Gussman, Andersen, Dillen, Collamore, Boliaris. 2nd Row: Kasper, Hott, LaVasseur, Solberg, Sorensen, Murback, Boyland, Westerlund, Weldon, Baron, Zylkowski. lst Row: Sklepp, Beinkowski, Fritag, Brownus, Petersen, Ringsted, Bruchan, Charlson, Kouba, Martinsen, D'Angelo. 26

E YUU Coming to K-elvyn with high hopes for four years of social gaiety, we found instead the hard facts of war. We took them as everybody did. And this is howl A special drive for War Victory Queen, Won by Annette Alexander, brought a total of Sl,5UU in stamps alone. The pennies tossed into the bucket and nickles you paid to see the Red Cross Show added to a neat S5l,602.80. Besides this, the paper drives: the 20 pounds of paper brought for the faculty game, for a Paper Queen won by Virginia Frank, and other drives, totaled to a heavy H5369 pounds. The V-Mail letters we wrote probably made some G.l.'s pulse throb, too. Then over l,4UU Kelvynites groaned with aching muscles in spring, 27 BEAT VW which were results of weeding their Victory Cfar- dens. Next year they can run a l5U-acre farm with ease fprobably. Cookies, via Kelvyns cook- ing class, left for the Service lVlen's Center last Christmas filled with vim, vigor, and vitamins. Look what those goodies did to our Marinese lwo lima. Does that prove something or doesn't it! Every War stamp We have bought since frosh days totaled to the round figure of Sl24,9U5.65, placing on the battle front one Army pursuit plane, SNI scout trainer, LSC landing craft, nine jeeps, three flying ieeps, seven amphibious ducks and two field ambulances. This is what WE have done in our four yearsrware you satisfied? -SYLVIA MALINA
