Debating Club DEBATING A D FORUM CLUBS The anatomy of New York City would not be complete if its vast forums and debates were not included. The United Nations is a pulse, the very essence of our exist- ence in the world today. Through the forums and debates of the United Nations, we now have a possibility of pre- serving freedom and democracy for the millions of Ameri- cans and Westerners as yet unborn. Here, people the world over can assemble in a forum and express their views in debate. Students of the Long Beach High School are provided with this opportunity through both the De- bating Club and the Forum Club. These two clubs, like the United Nations, have helped and will help the American Dream to flourish and to prevail in the future.

MR. WALRATH Chairman MRS. BROSSEAU MR. FRIEND 'lvlanisborn,manisdead. ln between, man spreads his roots and grows. He evaluates man's past, Lives man's present, Creates man's future. The teachers in the Social Studies Department of L.B.H.S. arouse their students' curiosity to reflect upon and determine their unique purpose in life. Each student learns of the preciousness of democracy, the freedom to make public his innermost beliefs and to discuss with others their validity. Situated on international territory surrounded by New York City, is the world-wide peace organization, the United Nations. Here, small, underdeveloped countries have the same opportunity as the large world powers to express their views on important issues. This is a specific evi- dence of democracy, the same democracy which is taught in the social studies classroom. 6'-ZA fji Y ' - . 7 0 1 X I , VVQVKVV , , f Q ' f . f f 5 Y - 1 'V ff if f 4 J 'V , VV 1 1,3 MR.
