The Debate Club has had three debates on student government,one in both Junior Gnd Senior high assemblies and another be- fore the Parents' and Teachers' Associa- tion.

Members of the Debate Club are:Arthur Hosel,Robert Hughes, Richard Mehring, John Palmer, Virginia Rogers,George Snyder,Jack Stitt, Max Stone, Paul Trent, Robert White. TRACK Hindered by the lack of inter- est and veteran trackmen Mohawk's Crack records were limited. The running of Gordon 'Flash' Stafford continued to shine as he did well in all the meets. Stanley Fistick did well in pole vault- ing and Warren Heavener did his part in the high jumping contests. The track squad was as follows: Warren Heavener Maynard Covert George Snyder Harold Myers William Busher Gordon Stafford Stanley Fistick James Drennan Paul Trent George Garlock Mr. Tolpa, Coach Robert Ray, Manager THE DREAMS OF OTHER DAYS How often, how often, we know not why, There comes unbid,w1thout heart born sigh-- With mystic yearning, fraught with tears From out the mist enshrouded years, The vision of a vanished life, That for a moment meets the gaze Beyond the realm of mortal strife-- A dream, a dream of other days. A breath, a note, a whispered song Amid the world's discordant throng, And lo, the soul in fond rejoice Calls back to earth, a once lived voice, A voice once heard--but where, ah, where Amid 11fe's dark, forgotten ways? Alas, it dies upon the air-- A dream, a dream of other days. And now, as in a vision near There comes a form, an image clear, A face--a dear remembered face, A loving hand in love's embrace. 'Tis but the murmur of a stream, A shadow, in the twilight haze, That wakes within the heart a dream-- A dream, a dream of other days. Oh, strange the dreams that stir the soul, Uncalled, unheld by earth's control. That wake within the wondering mind, A yearning vague and undefined! Have they within our lives had birth But hide forgot in memory's maze, O, does the soul thus bring to earth The life, the dreams, of other days? Maynard P. Covert
