Forensic Society With today,s communication problem, the students of P-W need a place to say what they wish - in art or creative writing. Thatts where the Continental fits in. Twice a year, it publish- es students, reactions to life, and accompanying these reactions, artistic viewpoints on the same reactions. Certainly students will never stop reacting, and if the Continental was to be dedi- cated, it would be to such students. Forensics play an important role in life. Communication by speech has always been important to man. The society was created for people who had a sincere desire to be able to speak intelligently now and throughout their lives. This year, the Forensic Society laid a solid foundation for itts future. The members learned about the techniques and skills of debating, poetry and prose reading, persuasive and in- formative speaking, and other verbal arts.

World Affairs Council American Field Service tilnteresting best describes the programs of the World Affairs Council this year. Under the leadership of Peter Schwartz, President, Fran Rose, Vice-president, and Mr. Carl Goodwin, Sponsor, the Councilis goals have been re-es- tablished, thus resulting in itis total reorganiza- tion. Meetings that were once primarily club business discussions have become forums on world problems. Also the recent institution of committee groups has created learning as well as a more meaningful club experience for its members. Philadelphia forums were also avail- able to members who want to further broaden their views on the world,s problems. Under their new sponsor, Mr. Feiner, the American Field Service has been as busy as ever, with fund raising projects, and with more internationally-minded programs such as hav- ing exchange students from area schools visit and stay the weekend, as they did in the spring.

Drama, no matter how old or how new, is a view of life as seen by different people. The Colonial Players are people who care about life, and, who in their own special way, try to present look at life through the medium of the stage. This year, under the guidance of Miss J ean Baker, the Players began working with Viola Spabinis Theater Games. They spon- sored an open Theater Games Workshop with Stephen Book ' February. This year, the Players major presentation consisted of tw plays, one old the other new, concerned with problems in to days world. They were The Trojan Women by Euripedes, a pla centered on war and the devastation it brings, and The Bat Soprano, an anti-play by Eugene Ionesco, which showed th C OlOnial P1 ay erS communication gap between people.
