•24 THE- MARINER STUDENT COUNCIL Henry Rankin The Student Council this year is composed of: president, Dorothy Te rl rre; vice president, v d Hustman; secretary, Pat Byrne; treasurer, Shirley Wood; And to give that extra shove when needed we have Mr. Beauchamp and Miss Jolliffe. All of the class presidents ail those elected to the student council from each class are members. This year the student council really got going and made some good plans for the future, and already some of these have been carried out. The activ- ities so far have been dances, plays given over the public address system, and a novelity cabaret and floor show party at the gym. Along the more serious side of its activities is the revision of the constitut - ion which is one of our greatest needs of our present system. The Secretary has been writing to many A”, B”, and C” schools that also have an active Student Council so as to get seme rew iders fer the benefit of the students and the faculty. One of their main d rties will be controlling and managnig of all of the class elections. This will mean that a student wishing to run for an office in his class will be elected by the papular vote of the whole school in the spring elections. DEBATE Fred Springborn Debate in Marine City High School has been very successful since it has taken up, winning high honors in all years except one. This year, the team walked off with high honors, by defeating Roseville and Richmond twice. The only blot on this record being its defeat by South Lake; however, this defeat was not sufficient to stop them, in spite of it they won their plaque. This year’s team was composed of Carol Jean Booth, Scott Elder, and Fred Springborn. The question was, Resolved, that the Federal Government should own and operate the Railroads.” Marine City would have nothing to be ashamed of, if every year its team could equal the standard set up by this trio. The school recognized this, and awarded them silver debate keys. This is the first time this has been done. With the plaque, the students also received bronze pins from the Detrot Free Press. The season was very difficult for the debaters, because a cnange of coach - es occurred in mid season. Until Christmas time, Mr. T. K. Horton, here for his third year as debate coach, advised the team. At the beginning of the new year, Mr R. F. Beauchan p tcok over, and kd the team to its g a!. CLASS of 1940

THE MARINER 23 SOCIAL ACTIVITIES 1939-1940 Then wherefore in these merry days, Should we, I pray, be duller ? No; let us sing some roundelays, To make our mirth the fuller. And, whilest thus inspired we sing, Let all the streets with echoes ring : Woods, and hills, and every thing, Bear witness we are merry. -—George Wither CLASS OF 1940
