T. H. S. in the year of 1929130 under the direction of Mr. Sweat. Twelve students were selected from the group for the club, six represented our High School in triangular debates between Tuscola, Arcola, and Oakland, and also took part in several other interscholastic debates. The club was again organized in the fall of 1930 with Robert Buckler, Presidentg and Mildred Pierson, Secretary. P A S The Club meets regularly every two weeks and takes part in a program consist' ing of extempore speaking, readings, criticisms, and debating. I Q The debating question selected by the state was Resolved, That the- chain store is detrimental to public welfare. We have found this to be an interesting question. V . We hope that a larger number of the students will take an interest in debating next year. g ' , Page Fofrty-three P .rl M

DRAMATIC CLUB Under Mrs. Hahn's leadership the Dramatic Club was organized during the 'first week of school. Contrary to previous years, anyone interested in Dramatic work could become a member, thus the membership was much increased. The Juniors presented their Class Play, The Family Upstairs on November 14. This was a threefact comedy which produced a smile on the most solemn face. Following this, on April 2, the Sophomores gave Spark Plugs and the Juniors, Who's Crazy Now? , both onefact comedies. Cn April 25, the Seniors made their last appearance in Dramatics at C. T. Hi S. They presented a very clever threefact play, The Road to Yesterday . Page Forty-two
