NEISWANDER Boys boys imitating real senators as closely as possible . . . being more informal at times than they feel senators would ever be! . . . boys taking part in heated arguments . . . waging verbal fights so earnestly that they sound like deadly enemies . . . but somehow remaining friends regardless of diierences in club periods . . . boys gaining a great deal of practical education and increasing their knowledge of current topics . . .that's the Senate! O encourage an interest in oratory and debate. to provide drill in parlia- mentary procedure. and to prepare students for participation in varsity debating. the Senate. the oldest parliamentary body of Central, was founded in 1916. In procedure and membership this organization is modeled as nearly as possible after the United States Senate. Discussions on current topics and debates provided interesting and edu- cational programs throughout the year. Among the questions discussed were the following: Should the United States Recognize Russia? What will be the Effect of 3.2 Beer? Should Military Training be Compulsory in School? Controversies over the legality of procedure. motions, and actions of senators added excitement to the meetings. Senate members on C6HIf3l'S varsity debate team were Warren Lewis. Bill Mereness. and William Barndt. In honor of the graduating members, a banquet, the final event of the year, was held. Mr. Neiswander, new faculty advisor for the year. has given valuable guidance toward the development of parliamentary procedure and debate. and has contributed much toward making the Senate a laboratory for citizenship. -WILLIANI BARNDT seriously and earnestly debating important questions . . .

Say, you, you're late: just march over to the office, please . . . Basses, don't sing so much louder than the tenors. You drown them out . . . Piano, please! . . . Now, stop your silliness . . . I don't feel like singing today . . . If you tenors don't sing that right this time, you'll wish you were 'Down Among the Dead Men' instead of just singing it . . . and that's forty-five minutes of Buys' Glee! HE Boys' Glee club. which was organized in 1915. comprises one of the most important activities of the school. This organization meets on Wed- nesday during the sixth period. but on Monday. Thursday. and Friday, it meets with the Girls' Glee club. under the able leadership of Mr. Mark Evans, The club consists of about thirty-six boys who are chosen by means of tryouts at the beginning of the year. The most important event for this group is the annual vocal Eisteddfod. which was held this year in Lima, on April twenty-first, The number on which the boys contested was Down Among the Dead Men . an old English air. The male quartet and three soloists from the Glee club also represented Central in this vocal contest. The ever popular male quartet consisted of James Miller. Harry Hadsell. Kent Leach. and Martin Winemiller. These boys have sung many times at school functions and have often been requested to entertain at outside affairs. Two of their most popular numbers were Shortin' Bread and Keep in the Middle of the Road. -ELIZABETH BAXTER
