PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB The Photography Club is the newest, yet the host active club in the school: The meetings held each week consist of accumulated business and reports by club members on some subject or technique of interest to the nenbers. Early in the year, the club was organized with a minimum of equipment and a very small dark room. Ada Capella was elected president, Verland Thums, vice president, and Roger Steiner, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Jalsh has been the enthusiastic adviser. As the year progressed the club grew larger and more room was needed. after the basketball season, the girls shower room was converted into a spacious dark room, and new equipment was purchased. The club is partially self-supporting. It has purchased a great deal of the equipment with the profits from the candy sales at basketball games, and the monthly dues which taxes no one too heavily.

T O U R N A M E N T D E B A T E S LOYAL TEAM OPPONENT DECISION Negative Colby Won Negative Wittenburg Won Negative Marshfield Lost Affirmative Wittenburg Won Affirmative Scandinavia Won Af.grmative Wausau Lost For most people the word 'debate' creates a rather belligerent meaning. However, when the word is actually defined, it becomes important in both our vocabulary and in our every day life. When a student is standing before his audience, he must have the ability to 'put across' his argument in a tactful and skillful manner in order to baffle his public. Included with tactfulness and skillfulness is the ability to think fast. Every debater must be able to analyze the oppo- nent's plan and his own with sound judgment and reasoning. If one can accomplish these things, he is considered and excellent conversationalist as well as a good debater. This will enable him, in the future, to meet any situation or person- ality without a good deal of embarrassment which, I'm sure, all of us have encountered at one time or another. This year we undertook to debate the Proposition Resolved: That the Federal government own and operate the railroads. Because of the vast amount of material and the brief period in which it could be argued, the question was a difficult one. However, six ambitious people were willing to burn midnight oil to settle the question. Harriet Weyhmiller and Mary Jane Theisen debated the affirmative, and Janet Starr and Roger Steiner debated the negative side. The first debate was held at the Neillsville High School, January 20, where the affirmative and nega- tive teams from Greenwood, Granton, Colby, Neillsville, and Loyal met for their first practice tournament. After that, the teams met one another at various schools where they built up and tore down each other's argument . This proved to be good practice for when the 'decision tournament' was held at the School at Stevens Point, February 2, twenty-four schools, including sented a splendid group of debaters. Loyal's six troupers returned flying colors. Out of the six debates that our teams challenged, the won two and the negative won two.
