q 1 iw. 'H 3 Mr. Norris presides Society In dual competition this year, the Debat- ing Society was undefeated, winning decisions over Winsor, Roxbury Latin, and Noble and Greenough. The team's constructive speakers were Walter Mack and john Burnham, who pre- pared extensive cases on the Supreme Court ques- tion, Cuba, and Algeria. Prior to the debate with Roxbury Latin on the Cuba question, Bolton and Norris had the unusual privilege of a private interview with a well-known economics expert who has lived in Cuba for twenty years. They were followed by cross-examiner Charlie Bolton, who usually brought down the house, and rebut- talist Bob Norris, who never failed to bring down the opponents' case. Special thanks are due to Mr. Norris and Mr. johnson, both of whom spent many hours or- ganizing and advising the Society, and we hope next year's competitors may preserve our oral tradition.

The affirmative My Brother is an Only Child In addition to the usual Friday evening meet- ings, the Debating Society held a large number of Saturday morning debates this year, in an at- tempt to increase the number of National Foren- sic League members. Several boys from Warren Hall and the Third Class had ample opportunity to gain experience in speaking against Pierce junior High and the Girls' School as well as Nobles and Mission High. Some of the topics debated Saturday mornings included: Resolved: That Television does more harm than good, and Resolved: That co-education is a better preparation for life than a separate education. How to Train an Aardvark, from .filly Brother was an Only Child, was a highlight of one of the Friday evening meetings. Although tournament competition was limited due to conflicting activities, Milton did send de- bators to several in which the topic debated was: Resolved: That Section 14B of the National Labor Relations Act should be repealed.

The Camera Club's main effort this year was the putting out of its annual calendar. After all of the time that had been put into its preparation, the club was overwhelmed and pleased, to say the least, at the complete sellout in three days. Nobody was greeted this year at the Christ- mas Glee Club Concert by the smiling face of a calendar seller, for the calendars were gone. Their popularity seems to be attributed to the two-tone, Orange and Blue cover, the new format the calendar's ability to stand up, and the good photographs. We hope that next year's club will have more printed and follow our example of selling them all. 7 The First Class's participation in the club this year was not as good as it might have been, and the major work on the Calendar and in the darkroom was done by the second classmen. Be- cause of this, and the fact that this year's presi- dent C. Bolton and vice-president P. Parks soon became involved in producing this fine publica- tion, the new elections for 1960 were held at mid-years. This idea was brought up last year, and this seemed a good time to make the switch. So far the change has been most successful and enabled us to increase our Spring activity.
