Debating Society Hold Elections Handle Debates and Pantomimes WHILE EATING LUNCH, club members discuss topics which are of interest. At the beginning of the school year, organizing was the first thing scheduled by the Debating Society. Officers were elected and plans were made for regular programs at the Tuesday meetings. Debates, impromptu speeches, and pantomimes were among the group activities. The topics that were chosen covered many recent and interesting subjects. The debates gave members an oppor- tunity to gain poise in public speaking and to become more informed on current happenings. As the holiday season neared, a party was held by the members.

Girls’ League Members Follow the Traditional Activity Pattern The many Girls’ League mem- bers followed the usual pattern this year. Most of them sold pro- grams and cokes at all the home football games and brought in a lot of change for their president Carla Walden to count. The All Girls’ Party was held for Hallo- ween. There were many unusual costumes and many good things to eat. “Natural High” was the theme for the formal dance held in late November. The gym was decorated in dark and light blue. In the spring, a bus loaded with luggage and packed with giggling girls who had the most service points, went on the annual trip to Phoenix to attend a special dinner and a current stage production. SUPERVISING THE GIRLS' LEAGUE coke sales are Carla Walden and Mrs. Gale. 27

Chess Club members could be seen through the doors of Room 41 every Friday noon concentrat- ing on moves and countermoves. This year rankings were deter- mined by the results of the 1973 spring tournament. The members in the top placing were: Bruce Cox, Bruce Conger, Karl Towle, Johnny Campbell, and Bill Nunez. In order to move up the ladder one must play the person who is one or two positions higher and beat that person two out of three games. Dues were not collected during the regular meetings, but as the spring tournament came nearer, members brought dues to help pay for the championship trophy. Members held their pos- ition in the club by actively par- ticipation in the matches at noon, and by helping with the club act- ivities. However students that showed interest in playing chess may attend any of the meetings. MAKING THE KILL!! Mr. Senne, sponsor, during a match with John Campbell. 29
