Viva La France . . . Le Ceircle Francaisv started its year with the election of officers and the ap- pointment of committees for the year. Elected to the prexy position was Ruth Baltorinic, junior, while Jim Cope, sen- ior, was chosen to serve as vice-president and Martha Brian, junior, as secretary- treasurer. Advisor for the group is Miss Evelyn Johnston, French teacher. Planning the social events for the club was the social committee of which Sally Campbell, senior, was chairman. Mem- bers of the committee were seniors, Phyl- lis Gross and Mary Louise Mason. A party, held in May, was the main feature of the social season of the club. Planning the programs for each meet- ing of the year was a program committee. For the first semester it was composed of Gertrude Wilms, junior, who served as chairman, June Hoskinson and Bill Vig- novich, seniors. For the second semester the committee was made up of Frances Vaughan and Phyllis Gross, seniors, and Martha Brian, junior. Improvement of spoken French was the main project of the club members. Improvement was attained through games played at each meeting and con- versations held at the meetings. It was decided by the club to hold meetings every two weeks, instead of every week during the second semester. During the year two new members were added to the club roster, those be- ing Betty Gibbs, who re-entered Salem High School at the semester from New York and Frances Vaughan, who return- ed to Salem from Cleveland. First. row: Mason, Luffey, Driscoll, Wilms, Sechler, Gross, Campbell: Second row: Miss Johnston, Hoskinson, Vignovich, Cope, Brian, Baltorinic. .'v.

esolve hat . . . First row: Kupka, Zeller, Second row: Burrier, Pierce, Yeagley. Mr. Guiler. The Salem High School Debate Squad, coached by J. C. Guiler, debating the topic Resolved: The Legal Voting Age Should Be Reduced to 18 Yearsu fin- ished a successful season. The Salem team of this year was com- posed of Virginia Burrier and Irene Kup- ka, affirmative speakers, Marjory Zeller and Duane Yeagley, negative speakers, and Ray Pierce, alternate. Of these mem- bers Virginia Burrier and Ray Pierce were freshmen, Irene Kupka and Duane Yeagley, juniors, and Marjory Zeller, a senior. Marjory Zeller and Duane Yeag- ley were the only debaters returning from the 1943-44 squad. Although the team's early season practice was somewhat curtailed by bad road and weather conditions and by lack of transportation facilities, the squad did engage the Niles and Youngstown Rayen teams in practice contests. The team, this year, entered the Ra- venna District of the Ohio State Speech League and attended the District Tourna- ment Contest which was held at Raven- na High School on February 10. The teams which participated in the Ravenna Tournament were Salem, Ravenna, Wadsworth and Cleveland Fairview. From these teams, the winner goes dir- ectly to the State Debate Finals held in Columbus. The Salem team had not en- tered the League last season. Due to the fact that the squad in- cluded only one senior, Mr. Guiler has high hopes for a successful season next year. Mr. J. C. Guiler, coach of the squad, also is an instructor of American govern- ment and international relations at Sa- lem High School.

Like most other clubs which hold meetings after school, the Girls' Athletic Association has fallen down in member- ship due mostly to the fact that many students are Working after school. Those who can still play after school derive en- joyment and much-needed exercise from the seasonal sports. Any girl may join the G. A. A. who has a C average or above in her school Work, earns 100 points, and Who is inter- ested in sports. When a girl earns one thousand points, she receives her letter. By earning three hundred additional points, she receives her year numerals. If a girl plays in tvvo-thirds of all games played, she receives her points. Thus, if she plays in six out of nine games of volley ball, she receives fifty points. In the same Way, kickball is Worth fifty points, basketball, one hundred points, and baseball, one hundred points. She may also earn extra points outside of school, through hiking and skating. Hik- ing is Worth one point per mile, and for 245 hours of skating, a girl will earn fifty points. To retain membership in the club each year, each girl must earn 250 or more points.
