USHER CLUB Tickets, Please is one of the welcoming phrases of the MCHS ushers. Through the year they are called upon to usher at special assemblies, school-sponsored concerts, the operetta, the iunior and senior plays, commencement exercises, and other special programs held in the MCHS auditor- ium. All ushers can be identified by red and grey usher ribbons. Each year a senior member of the club who is a responsible and dependable person is appointed head usher. Senior ushers who have been willing and dependable workers are presented with school letters. Any interested student in grades T0 through 12 is eligible for membership. The new members are chosen by o group of faculty and Usher Club members from a list of students who have expressed a desire to become ushers. Ushers sign up to work at various programs. If a member knows that she will be unable to usher she must find a substitute. Usually there are several volunteers who are willing to give their time to help the hard working Usher Club.

Their faces reflect their confidence in their ability to win. DEBATE Debaters are often seen scurrying down the halls toward the library, for that is where they begin their enthusiastic search for research material. Any student who has taken Speech I and ll and has an interest in constructive discussion is welcome to join the debate team. Each team is composed of an affirmative and negative side with two debaters on each team. The debaters are responsible for gathering information that pertains to the topic in discussion. This year's national debate topic was the British Educational System. The debate club competes against Hamtramck, Berkley, Royal Oak Kimball, and Royal Oak Dondero.

The cry of the director rings loud and clear, but Masque and Wig Club members know that the actors alone do not make a successful production. The club members put on one act plays to help them understand the production and direction of such a program. Each person's participation in the program enlarges his knowledge of the problems of the very basic phases of the stage. Also, the members acquaint themselves with the make-up and scenery aspects of the theater. At make-up sessions members experimented with many types of grease paint. Members who are interested in acting get their chance to develop their talents by taking part in the club's productions. They each receive help and gain personal satisfaction whether their part is large or small. The chance to attend a Broadway production in Detroit is the culmination of the year's activities. 0' SGH, W , , A ,X g Enioying the plush seats of the theater as they watched the Cinerama production, members le e'55'n9ef X Y of the Masque 8- Wig Club anticipated the addition to their program, a tour behind the scenes to find out how Cinerama works. 108
