Art Club created Christmas mood The Art Club, under the direc- tion of Mrs. Harriet Bigham, helped to make the school look a little more festive during the holiday season by decorating the doors of various rooms through- out the building with Christmas pictures and sayings. Other ac- tivities included making statues of their favorite teachers and de- signing billboards for Crime Pre- vention Week. Another club formed this year was the Chess Club, sponsored by Mr. Howard Young. This club was formed for students who like to get together and play chess. The activities included having a tournament for the members of the club. 1.

Trophies Won In our second year of .debate, we were represented by a four- speaker team at Regionals. The team qualified to go to State, where they received fourth place. The four-speaker team consisted of Mary Foundopoulos and Olevia Mitchem, seniors, and Derrick Reicheneker and David Porter, juniors. These four students, along with many others, were members of the National Forensic League. NFL was open to students who participated in debate. The mem- bers of NFL earned points by de- bating and participating in cer- tain forensic events. Throughout the school year our debators attended many tourna- ments and returned with an im- pressive number of trophies plaques, and medals. Besides go- ing to debate and forensic tourna- ments, NFL had a Christmas par- ty and a banquet to recognize its members achievements. I 73
