The belief has been voiced that he could make a Democrat out ot' a Republican, or a fool out of a certain sophomore girl, but neither has been proved yet. As Mr. Poe stands before the audience, he renders them absolutely silent with his natural orator-- ical manner, and his wonderful command of words. Joe's tallness makes him attractive. He can be seen and heard above the largest crowd that ever assembled to hear him speak. His manner is calm and assured, although his hands shake visibly, and he is ever reach- ing for the goal. He modestly receives his share of praise. The world will hear of Mr. Poe again. Another of our promising debaters is Conelius, better known as Colonel Bollinger. The only fault with Mr. Bollinger is that he prefers to be out of sight when he debates. Whether it is conceit or timidity we W ,bf l '3l'Il'l H I , nmIum1lunmnminwmmuimmiuimI11:n:mrm'mun.urm1umILrnnuiunrunuimunnmiruinnnimlnnmmrmnnnnmnrhllinl -as ,WYHMQ il do not know. He always tries to get behind a map, and if this is not possible he sways his audience either by his wonderful voice or by his facial grimaces. Miss Henry has just entered our club. Sure of her- self one thinks she knows what she wants. By putting her head on one side and so effectively using her dark eyes, the debate is half won without her speech, com- posed mostly of and, a, er, a, you see, being heard. All told, our club is noted for its beauty, goodness, and intelligence, which the members display to the best advantage. This Debating Club will, perhaps, figure prominently in some of the greatest affairs of our country. We may even have the name of being in- strumental in doing away with H. C. L. or even settling the Peace Treaty. -Juniors '20, XXXSXXX 1 , ,. ' 'E QL Q f 4 1 Q ' '-'T .. ' ' 4 5? -'W'r in 11 .. 1.7-.WV ff.-Yi.-k YW2W-. . Y ..-..-H. Y-----V - -- - W- -----. -fr.

If you will kindly pay close attention I will unravel the mystery. Seekers After Knowledge is the aimg the motto in short stands for the whole principle upon which that grand society of the Oran High School was founded and rests to-day. You know, that if the students of that same society had not been an energetic sort and really seekers after the great things which puts not only the S. A. K. Society, but the whole human society on a higher and nobler plane, they would have never thot of such an appropriate nameg and indeed they have carried out its aim. It was started with a will and it was not long until a Constitution Qnot unlike our own great fundamental lawi, By-Laws, and a few amendments were conspicuous. Provision was made for election of required officers and appointment of respective committees and their chairman. Strict adherence to Constitution and By-Laws was carried out in order to give the members an inkling of Parliamentary Law and Order. The society met every Friday evening and was entertained with a program which had been well prepared by the Program Committee, approved by one of the faculty and worked up by respective students on the program. This consisted of our best music, readings, declamations, debates, oratorical contests, and dramatic art. No program was allowed to be presented until best elforts had been put on it, thereby making it worth anyone's time. And through earnest endeavors and ceaseless toil, there has been produced some of the best students in the above mentioned arts that the City of Oran has ever witnessed. But the Seekers, wise as usual, considered that there must be some play with so much work. Therefore a Social Committee was provided and through its remarkable ability in entertain- ing and with the co-operation of fellow-students, some grand surprises have been given to parents and patrons. Another aim in making this provision was to bring townspeople into closer touch with school life, and this could only be done social- ly. Decorating, refreshment, and program committees joined in social work to bring out the best the school afforded. So con- sequently not a few stranger patrons were surprised at the un- usual ability displayed. Too, the Seekers never forget the detailsg the emblm, colors of green and white, the flower, white carnation, motto, and other minor things. All were provided for, and now the pride of en- deavors is brought forth in a society pin which the members wear with much pride and pomp. 'membership He no rary Members Mr. R. A.
