A new club this year, Debate Club has done much to develop the forensic skills of its members. Debating was on a variety of controversial topics and was both formal and extemporaneous. Mr. Pelaia, the spon- sor, looks forward to the club's becoming part of the National Forensic League next year. Enthusiasm ran high in the business edu- cation department as the students organized a club of their own. Meeting once a week, the group was host to guest speakers from colleges, business organizations and ma- chine companies. Mrs. Marie Douthwaite and Mrs. Mary Selevos sponsored this activity, but the club was run entirely by the secretaries-to-be. Field trips were planned during the school year to business oilices to acquaint the girls with what to expect when they begin to work. Interspersed with these ac- tivities were discussions on the use of tele- phones, etiquette, and charm - all of which were aimed to give each girl a fm- ishedv touch before going into the world of business.

Eighty-seven strong, this year's band was once again one of the schoolis most de- manding and rewarding organizations. A head-start at summer band camp paid off in the excellent half-time and pre-game shows, both at home and away. Once again the band marched in the Fourth of July parade, the annual Halloween parade, the Harvest Festival parade, the WIIC parade in Pitts- burgh, Horne's Santa Claus parade, and the Memorial Day parade.
