During the past year, these familiar words echoed over the loudspeaker each day during first and sixth hours. Members of the Weather Observers Club donned the responsibility of informing the student body of day-to- day weather conditions. With the aid of such complex instruments as anemometers, thermometers, and ane- roid and mercury barometers, the forecasters and their advisor, Mr. Dickson, gave accurate daily weather pre- dictions. The small, yet prosperous, Radio Club is composed of eight members, and is sponsored by Mr. Gregory. The basic purpose of the Radio Club is to teach its members the National Code of Broadcasting and study its theory. A few of the members have their Federal Broadcasting licenses and most are working for ama- teur licenses. During the last year the members have build electronic projects and hope to continue them next year. Together these two organizations prepare students for highly specialized careers in later life.

Eagle Debaters Contend for Highest Honors Novice, Junior Varsity, and Varsity de- baters talked their way through a season of varied successes. Under Mr. Clement,s able direction, the Novice team won a first place in the Novice State Champion- ship and honors at the Waris League tour- nament. The JV debaters secured a first place position in the I-75 league and both varsity teams placed first in the Wayne County Debate Association Meet. This diversified program of commun- ication involves a student's clarity of ex- pression, investigation, preparation, and then the presentation of an idea. A ready repertoire of words is essential, as well as an appreciation of factual expression. De- baters must also be capable of adapting new approaches to their presentations. De- bate has become an added dimension to the art of communication. A .fr xg, 1 ails Q ' s I, ri . Te 1 -' ' X l f MESS: : 1 ' 15531: - ' .1 te-1 fa.. fl f ,ae-fa ' , 4, ln. V' ?t,e,,.
