PATHFINDERS By RUTH ZANDER ’22 This club, composed of about thirty-five sophomore girls, was organized in their freshman year. Although the club was only begun in the second semester it managed to accomplish a great deal. The first thing of importance that it did was to give a candy-sale, the proceeds of which went to the Red Cross. As soon as the weather permitted, the club took several hikes to Ravine Park. The members also gave a beach party which added greatly to their list of pleasures. Then plans for a dancing party were soon under way. This party was held March 6 at Wood’s Hall. A good time was reported by all who attended. After reorganizing in their sophomore year, new members were allowed to join. There was much talk of initiating these members, but owing to the lack of a place in which to hold an initiation, their plans could not be carried out. On April 9, of this year, another dancing party, which was well attended, was given under the supervision of the club. As soon as the weather permits, hikes will be taken by the girls. It is the intention of the members to do all in their power to make the Pathfinders one of the best clubs of its kind.

FLAMBEAU MANITOWOC HIGH SCHOOL DEBATING SOCIETY By PAUL URBANEK The Manitowoe High School Debating Society was organized many years ago, and is one of the oldest in the school. The purpose of this society is to promote debating, to get the pupils of the school inter- ested in debating work, and to instruct them in parliamentary law. To do this there are meetings every two weeks at which debates are held, in which certain members of the society participate. All current topics and topics that would be of interest to the members are debated upon. At certain meetings there is a public discussion, that is, all the members of the society take part in the debate. The society has a membership of about forty pupils. Membership is open to any pupil of good stand- ing in the High School. Officers of the society are elected every semester. We are proud of our society and have reason to be, because all of the members of the High School Debating Team are members of the society, and former members who have gone away to school have gained places of merit on debating teams.
