SELWYN HOVSIC SCHOOL NIAG.-XZINE is YXTXWWX7 DEBATING The t'lub of the Selwyn Uratorical Society for 1053-54 was named the Iota lilub, after the custom of using Greek letters. The members from the fifth form elected the executive at the lirst meetine. Vharles Vliaffey was chosen as President 5 Tim Peters as Yice-l'resident 5 and Rodney Tait as Secretary-Treasurer. XYe met on every other lfriday, alternate meetings being held in the afternoon and the evening. .Xt some of the meetings there were formal debates: while at others we had short speeches or a quizz. Some of the subjects discussed were very controversial, such as That Nlontreal is a more progressive muni- cipality than Toronto. The movies and television also had their share, including That there should be no age limit to admission to the movies , and That Television is a menace to Professional Sport. Others included That the piano is preferable to any other musical instrument, and Hunting is better than Fisl1ii1e'. Another feature of the meetings was the one-minute speeches which provided great entertaimnent to the members. .-Xt one meeting a tape recorder was borrowed, and we all enjoyed hearing our own speeches. For this we must thank Nlr. lidd. XYe should all like to thank most heartily Mr. Speirs, who worked very hard to ensure that the club would be a success. l'l'BI,IC' Sl'li.-XKIXG The Public Speaking Vontest, an annual feature of school life, took place last lfebruary.
