FOR THE SCHOOL YEARIQS-1-1955 Behating This year, the Selwyn Oratorical Society was named the Kappa Club. It had twelve members: Bill Hambly, President: Francisco Cardona, Vice- President: Michael Lofft, Secretary: Teddy Coumantaros. Treasurer: Roger Bellingham, David Bogert, Geolifrey Gaherty, John Hutcheson. Colin Moseley, Robert Osler, Ian Robertson and Lawlor XYakem. The club met every two weeks on Friday afternoon or evening. There were formal debates. short speeches, hat nights, one-minute speeches and quizzes. XYe had a great variety of formal debates including That S.H.S. should go co- educational and That New Year's resolutions are worse than useless. There were also current event debates such as That the Seaway will be harmful to Montreal and That XYestern Germany should be re-armed. XYe all had a most enjoyable time and we must not forget to thank Mr, Speirs for the work that he did in assuring the success ofthe club. PUBLIC SPEAKING CONTEST The Public Speaking Contest, an annual feature of school life, took place last March. The finals were held at school assembly. Dr. J. M. Paton was the judge. Finalists and their subjects were: Robert Osler: Dr. Albert Schweitzer's Mission in Africa. Colin Moseley: The Fight Against Yellow Fever. Bill Hambly: The Mission Alamo. Michael LoFft: Sir VYilfrid Laurier. john Chamard: The Kemano-Kittimat Power Development. Francisco Cardona: Galileo's Discoveries. Michael Lofft was adjudged the winner. with Colin Moseley second and Bill Hambly third. john Hutcheson was chairman. HOUSE DEBATING This year the House Debating got under way very well, the subjects were unpleasantly hard, and well chosen by Mr. Speirs, and of course the com- petition was very keen. There were two representatives from each House, and all members of the Kappa Club. Mr. Tees and Mrs. Howis very kindly spared us some of their time to act as judges for the preliminaries and finals respectively. The representatives from each House were: Michael Lolft and Lawlor XYakem from Lucas House: Bill Hambly and Colin Moseley from Macaulay: Robert Osler and David Bogert from Wanstall: and Teddy Coumantaros and Francisco Cardona from Speirs House. ln the preliminaries, Lucas House, upholding the affirmative of the motion that Formosa should be handed over to Communist China defeated Speirs House, and lYanstall House defeated Macaulay House upholding the negative li-'Tl
