Speech Arts Club Carries On The voice that comes over the loud speaker every morning and afternoon is not the voice of someone who was picked at random from a group of students. He is a member of the Speech Arts Club exercising his or her trade or art. Besides serving the school in this fashion, the members of the Speech Arts Club record their voices, attend debates and participate in other activities of interest. lVlr. Kuhn is the very able faculty advisor, and David Bushler Stephanie Solow, and Barbara Cordon are the officers. The Speech Arts Club was started some years ago for speaking over the public ad- dress system. However, it has grown in both size and divergency of activities. The club is open to students up to their junior year, but members are allowed to stay after they become seniors. The reason for this is to pre- vent people who desire only college credit from joining the club. The speech Arts Club now has its largest membership and is looking forward to its presentation of af , . f ards to mem- ber graduates. TWENTY-NINE

1 l TRAFFIC SQUAD ,lam Handled Efficiently by Traffic Squad Yesterday morning Long Beach l-ligh School almost witnessed a disastrous accident in front of the G.O. store. Under the capable supervision of Captain David Rubenstein, the traffic squad came to the rescue. A certain Sophomore girl and a Junior boy seemed to be having a slight misunderstanding and in another moment it seemed as if there might be some broken bones. Along came Billy Borzilleri, Sandy Wilk, Barry Unger, and Danny Stone, all able-bodied Senior men who handled the situation with expert efficiency. One of the Senior officers made a date with the girl in question after being assured that the incident would not occur again, and con- tentedly went back to his work. The Junior boy sadly went to his next class, and resolved to join the trafiic squad the very next day. That certain girl learned how well it pays to obey the members of the hard-working traffic squad. THIRTY This incident is only one of the many situations the traffic squad copes with every day. Aside from frequent diversions such as these the traffic squad is really doing a terrific job. Among the competent workers of the traffic squad are: Billy Charlop, Jerry Dalven, Robert Connor, Rickey Evans, Bruce Davis, Marvin Zarlin, Alan Michelson, Mickey Reiss, Ray Goetz, Paul Lempel, and Marty Chutter. They are to be found in all nooks and crannys of the school guarding the stair- ways and the hall traffic in a gentle manner. Mr. Gordon, the faculty advisor of the traffic squad, had trained the entire group to avoid traffic jams, and has instructed the work- ers how to demand and receive cooperation in a firm and business-like manner. The squad has done an excellent job by proving the importance of maintaining a well organized association in which students can help insure the safety in their fellow classmates.
