HA YELIN 'S DEBATING TEAM The first of the debates in the f'la.rlz Vniversity lnter-scholastic Debating League. in which Oxford High School participates, took place Friday, March 10. Oxford High School debited against Millbury and the decision was three to one in favor of Millbury. The negative team debated at home and the affir- mative team went to Millburv. Our negative team won by a score of two to one. These dehaters were very successful, and were coached by Mr. Frank Sannella. Later at Clark. we debated TVebster and lost. The affirmative team is: lieatriee Davis, Francis Germain, alternate, Ralph Morrow. Those on the negative team are: Louise Grandone, Edward VVhiteg alter- nate, Sheila Herbert. rigan of the Placement Department of the Worcester High School of Commerce spoke on Business Ethics. The tea dance will not be forgotten. Other meetings proved as fas- cinating because of sketches and contests. During the second year the Commercial Club accomplished even more. The members had the pleasure of having a demonstration of the elec- tric addinef and calculating machine by Mr. Johnson from the Burroughs Adding Machine Company. Mr. Holt from the Frost Office Ap- pliance Company gave an interesting demon- stratifn of the mimeograph. He had each senior cut a stencil and run it off on the mime- ograph. During Christmas week a tea dance was giv- en and before Spring vacation another tea dance was appreciated by all who attended. lVe again had the honor of listening to another of Hrs. Eva Becker-Shippee's unusual talks on Personality' and the reading of an original play she Wrote called The Contract. On May 9 the seniors in the club visited the Telegram and Evening Gazette printing plant and WTAG radio station. A little later a last tea dance was given and a few exciting informal gather- ings completed the second year of the Pencil, Pad and Key Club. l45l
