We had interesting and enjoyable programs but the most memorable were: a talk cn Scrap Bcf ks by Dr. William Crosby Ross: a question box under the direction of Mrs. Blake Lowell: a talk on Hawaii by Katherine Kessler, and a talk by Mrs. Elmo Petersin on their trip across the United States. About 15 girls attended and took part in the Girl Reserve Conference held in Meridian. The theme, Wings Around the World , was appropriately carried out in the day's program. Mrs. Flory from the College of Idaho gave a talk cn Girls in all parts of the world. Boise Girl Reserves were in charge of the vesper services.

It is a field rich with opportunities. Nothing could be more instructive or could yield dividends of greater cultural value, than the keen application of extensive work in debatable questions of the state. 'I'he debate question for the year was: Resolved: That the Power of the Federal Government Should be Increased. Under the direction of Mr. Brandt three debate teams were organized. Those taking the Affirmative were: Ruth Haydock, Audrey Hartman, Frank Takatori and Kenneth Hobbs. Negative debaters were: Charles Kerrick and Ralph Hopper. Practice debates were held with Notus, Caldwell and Boise, the teams also took part in debate tournaments at Boise, Emmett and Nyssa. The tournament in 'llyssa determined the championship of the Snake River Valley Debate Conference. Parma was represented by their negative team. The championship was won by Fruitland.

Mr. Oscar Peterson, whose son is a graduate of our school, was interested in seeing some improvements in the building and willingly gave his time and energy to the making of the trophy case This improvement adds much to the appearance of the building We wish to extend our thanks to those who helped pay for the trophy case and especially to Mr Peterson, who has shown so much interest in the school We smcerely to make Parma High a better school ff' hope that studeiits may see fit to contribute to other helpful improvements in the future
