Art Club Models Puppets Under the supervision of Miss Alice Baker, the Art Club, consisting of some forty members, met and elected Mary Lou Cavender president, Betty Ruddick vice-president, Doris Newcomer secretary-treasurer, and Jean Tracy program chairman. The members decided, as the year’s project, to present a puppet show. Patterns for the six- teen lanky dollies were given out to the mem- bers and the play, “The Enchanted Princess,” was chosen by a committee consisting of Marge Burnham, Mary Lou Cavender, and Isa- belle Clark. Now making puppets is no small task. Heads must be modeled and painted, bodies formed, clothes tailored and strings attached; and then — one must learn to work the little people. The Art Club which meets during sponsor period has been particularly hard hit by the shorter periods and the puppet show has proven to be a whole year’s business.

Debate Ceam Carl Vanderlin, Ben Garrison, Mr. | fh ee Hall, Betiy Stein, Walter Kira- oF cofe, and Craig Miller. Ri Debate Copics Look Coward Peace Activities of the debate squad are tied up largely with the St. Joseph County Forensic League which means, so far as serious com- petition is concerned, Mishawaka against South Bend. Events of the year were: an extem- poraneous speech contest at Riley in which Ben Garrison took third place, a round table discussion at Mishawaka, an after dinner speech contest at the Morningside Hotel in South Bend where Ben Garrison took first place and Norma Stanton tied for second, and finally a series of debates. The topic of the series was: “Resolved: That a federal world government should be established.” Central won the de- bate contest, while Mishawaka tied for second place. Bob Cochran and Carl Vanderlin, as a negative team, won against Riley in the first debate, and Ben Garrison and Cloyd Phillips, English V FOURTH ROW: Williams, Brady, Six, Granger, Futter, Spencer, Smita One eelilbouny ss Penny, Bryan.

Mish- awaka took first place, however, in the Rotary discussion contest at Washington High School on the subject: “Youth Looks at Peace.” Mr. Hall, the capable coach, led the team through a very successful season. Prospects for the coming year look exceedingly good for the only star debater who will retire is Ben Garrison who is leaving for college. Not connected with regular debate activity, was the American Legion oratorical contest on the subject “The Peace Makers.’ Walter Kiro- cofe, a member of the debate team, took first place and Maxine McClure second. Walter's speech also won the county contest.
