RIQFLECTOR 940 HE Sandwich debaters had a very successful season this year. In addition to winning 22 out of their 37 tournament debates, they received a beautiful tro- phy for winning the Trade Winds Conference Tournament. This Conference con- sists of representatives from Polo, DeKalb, Princeton, Morris, Mendota and Sand- wich. The question for debate this year was: Resolved: That the Federal Gov- ernment should own and operate the railroads of the United States. Sandwich was also represented at the Augustana College Tournament. They tied for third place in the National Forensic League Tournament and wound up the season by taking fourth place in the district meet at DeKalb. The entire varsity squad graduates this year, but there will be plenty of ma- terial for next year. The members of the varsity squad were: Patty Haskin and Howard Davis, affirmative, and Jean Mclnnes and Philip Brady, negative. Orland Shefveland and Walter Sutherland were alternates. John Montgomery, Charles Marrs, Edward Easter, Tone O'Neil and Doreen Wright are the students who will debate for Sandwich next year. Much credit is due to the coach, Mr. Davis, for his valuable time and advice. HE student council is made up of two people from each of the four classes and an adviser from the faculty. Mr. Haskin was the adviser this year. The student council meets whenever something arises which requires its thought and advice. It plans many of the assembly programs such as the memorial occas- ions of Lincoln's and Washington's birthdays and also other assembly programs. The members of the student council acted as chairmen for the different programs. The council held its last meeting to decide who should represent the junior class in the nomination of candidates for this yearls May queen. Page thirty three

RFFI ECTOR 1940 HE year 1939 and '40 has been particularly active for the boys' glee club and their director, Miss Brown. The Little Ten Music Festival was the first im- portant event. The Sandwich music department, together with vocalists from elev- en other schools presented the concert version of the opera Martha, The two glee clubs presented a Christmas concert and in February presented the operetta, The Fire Prince. The cast and chorus was large, the costuming very effective, and the music was lovely. The hard work put into the undertaking made for its successful presentation. . Many of the boys are in mixed chorus. Charles Middaugh represented his or- ganization at All-State Chorus at the University of Illinois. The combined organ- ization made their annual trip to the broadcasting station and gave a spring con- cert on May 7. HE music department, under the leadership of Miss Brown, has had a banner year. The girls' glee club, together with the boys' organization, sang in the Little Ten Music Festival together with 500 other music students. In collabora- tion with the boys, glee club, the girls took part in a Christmas concert. The combined department presented the operetta, The Fire Prince , in Feb- ruary. It was a large undertaking, for it required the memorization of speaking parts as well as vocal parts. Many of the girls are members of mixed chorus. Patty Haskin had the privi- lege of attending the All-State Chorus at the University of Illinois. On May 7, the combined glee clubs presented their annual spring concert. They also made their usual trip to the broadcasting station. Page thzrty fiu
