Secretary and Treasurer This year Miss Churchill and Mr. Heins organized the Debating Club, an organiza- tion which has been non-existent for a few years. The club is divided into a varsity and a junior varsity team, which has debated sev- eral times this year. In the first debate against Hanover, we were victorious, The second debate was our loss. We also lost to a Graf- ton team, and to a Cushing team. This year the varsity will travel to Maine on March 28 to compete in the New England SI IREWSIIURY, MASSACI IUSI2'I I'S RICHARD McCOWAN RICHARD WILLIAMS DOROTHY HALL National Tournament, where we have high hopes of achieving success. They will also compete in a state tournament at Cushing Academy, in the near future. The whole school appreciates all the time and elTort that this club has given in order to make a greater name for the school. They have worked industriously this year, and deserve much credit for their fine achieve- ments. 47

Henry Orchestra The Orchestra certainly deserves all the praise we are able to give it. From an attendance of 15, it quickly rose to a memberf ship of 15. Every performance it has given has been commendable because of the fine direction of Miss Tyrrell. Few realize what a task it is to prepare so many diflrerent songs in such a short time. The enthusiasm of the members is recognized by the eager way they practice perfection. There are many promising 48 musicians ranging from the Sth grade to the Senior Class. The Orchestra has been extremely popular this past year. It has played for many ocf casions such as: Junior Prize Speaking, Freshman Prize Speaking, Men's Smoker, Pops Concert, National Honor Society Installation, National Forensic League Installation, Ciradu- ation and Assemblies.
