Johnson, Forensic League Proves Good Talkie The National Forensic League at Roosevelt has brought much honor to our school: tor our chapter is one ot the two chapters in the country that has at- tended all nation-wide tournaments. The group was organized in l93O, un- der the auspices ot Mr. Qsterhus, who has continued as the organization's competent adviser. Membershipinto the chapteris earned by points. Twenty points are required tor entrance. These points may be ob- tained only through inter-school compe- tition in debated and in oratorical and declamatory contests. Everytime a student enters a contest he receives a certain number ot points. When a total ot titty points has been E221 won, a degree ot honor is awarded. One hundred points earns a degree ot excel- lence: one hundred and titty points, a degree ot distinction. lt a student earns as many as one hundred and titty points, he may be awarded the National For- ensic League pin. This pin is well-worth a student's ettort, tor it is a silver pin with a ruby center. The National Forensic League encour- ages a student to participate in various types ot spealcing. lt recognizes a stu- dent's etiorts when they are creditable. The otiicers ot the league are Edward Weidner, presidentg Robert Zumwinlcle, vice-president: Jeanette Kerr, secretary: Muriel Erickson, treasurer: Betty Jane Martin, sergeant-at-arms.

The Standard stati is made up ot eleventh and tweltth grade students who have been chosen trom the news classes by Mr. Nielson on the basis ot ability. The statt members be- E213 gin their worlc as cub reporters: but may, with talent and perseverance. worlc themselves up to the position ot editor. Until this spring. The Standard was issued bi-weelcly. lt was sold by the sub- scription method, at trom twenty-tive to titty cents a subscription. This spring, however, the statt began issuing a week- ly paper which sells tor tive cents a copy. This plan was well received and sales have mounted rapidly since it was put into operation. Another new plan which was adopted this spring is having a home room re- porter to cover the news ot each home room. This plan has made it possible to get a large variety ot news in the paper and to publish more articles ot interest.

Hi-Y Delegates Attend Congress Any IOB boy who is interested in the Y. M. C. A. should not deprive himselt ot the pleasure ot joining the Roosevelt Chapter ot the l-li-Y. The purpose ot this club is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards ot Christian character and leadership. This organization was tounded in l922 under the auspices ot the Y. M. C. A. in cooperation with the school. It is just as active today as it was then. During the past year the club sent several dele- gates to the National l-li-Y Congress which was held at Berea, Kentucky. lt also gave an all-school party at the Uni- versity Y. M. Cf. A. Moreover it consid- ers various matters pertaining to the E231 personal and school lite ot members in its regular meetings. At present the l-li-Y boys operate the second-hand bookroom which is a great help to the school. And last, but tar trom least, during the coming year the l-li-Y has the splen- did aim ot trying to maintain and to improve its worthwhile purpose.
