To accomplish this, each club member has been assigned one period every day, during which it is her duty to check books, collect fines on books that are overdue, and keep the library orderly. e We have been very successful in having the best of cooperation, and although we will lose our Senior members we hope to have the vacancies filled by some of our capable under-classmen. The Club is proud of the work which has been accomplished during the past year, and especially of the organization of our new filing system for library cards. We are grateful to the commer- cial department, the members of which typed and assisted in the alphabetical arrangement of the system. It is of great assis- tance to our high school students.

Vice President Phyllis Ritchie. . .Secretary-Treasurer Miss Swiggum . . . . . .Faculty Adviser The Wisconsin High School Forensic Association was organized in 1926 as a state organization, divided into leagues and districts. Montello Joined the organization in 1927 and was assigned to the Stevens Point District, and to a league con- sisting of Coloma, Endeavor, Hancock, Westfield, Oxford, Neshkoro, Adams-Friendship, and Montello. The various forms of forensic work in which a student may choose to develop his ability are: oratory, dramatic declam- atory, humorous declamatory, extemporaneous reading, and extemporaneous speaking. A local contest is held to select the best participant in each field of forensic work, who represents the school at the league contests. If successful in the league contest, the participant proceeds to the district contest and finally to the state contest, which is held at Madison. In the last seven years of cantest work Montello has entered the league contest seven times; the district, six; the state, once. As recognition for outstanding ability in forensic work, Certificates of Merit are awarded by the Wisconsin High School Forensic Association to all who participate in the league contest. The Montello High School's Forensic Society awards letters to all who have participated in three local contests. The local Club has grown from an organization of five mem- bers in 1932 to twenty-two members in 1939. 25
