This was the question put before every high school debate team in the country this season, and thus P. H. S. had the problem to discuss. Under the supervision of Miss Emily Dean, this year's team was chosen from the debate class of the first semester. Those to repre- sent P. H. S. were joan Krieg and Walter Poorman on the negative side of the question and Ruth Baugh and William Hetherington on the affirmative. The team took part in four debates. The first was a practice de- bate with Dayton Fairmont, and then came the district tourna- ment where the Piquads met Lima Central, Kenton, and Troy. The tourney was held at Kenton, March 22. After the battle of words was over and the scores were tallied it was discovered that Lima Central had won the tournament and that Piqua and Troy were tied for second place. All in all it was a successful season, and with joan Krieg and Bill Hetherington coming back next year, we are looking forward to another season of good, interesting, and edu- .

This club was formerly known as the Writers Club' the new name was chosen because saplings are small trees just beginning to take root and grow. The word saplings is descriptive of the members of this club. They were students who were interested in different forms of creative writing and who organized for the purpose of developing the ability they possessed. These students, under the leadership of Miss Genevieve North, met every two weeks. Interesting plays, skits, responsive roll calls, poems, stories, essays, and word studies were written by members, especially for the club. The officers elected for this year were: president, Patricia Ebbing, vice president, Madolyn Bruckerg secretary, joan Kriegg and publicity chairman, Edith T. Kastner. gloan Krieg Le Cercle francais EMBERS of the Le Cercle francais fthe French Clubl and their supervisor, Miss Janice Schuck, enjoyed a number of successful programs during the past year. Cutstanding programs of the year were those in which guest speakers talked about France and French customs. At Christmas time, an original play written by a member of the club proved very entertaining. Many French students subscribed to Le Petit Journal which was often the source of material for talks and games. For amusement the members participated in playing geographical and vocabulary games, Lotto, and solving crossword puzzles, all in French. Some of the members made attractive scrapbooks. Each person had the privilege of originality in theme. Some of the students portrayed the life of Lafayette. One student compiled a scrapbook of French artists and their masterpieces. Another wrote an illustrated story telling about the adventures of a French boy and girl touring France. Another pupil compiled a scrapbook relating the present condition of France. Cfficers elected for the club were: Mary Emily Dunson, presidentg Edwin Kindell, vice pres- ident, Bill Mills, secretary. The program committee was composed ofjune Ives, chairman, Norma Zimpher, and Jane Grunert. -Edith T, Kggmgr page twenty-seven
