Worthy of mention was the lecture of Professor Baldwin. His topic, A Drop of Water, proved so interesting and entertaining that after every seat and inch of standing room had been utilized, the door of the lecture room had to be locked to keep out the swarm of students who were still desirous of gaining admission. The membership of the club this semester has increased noticeably, and much of its popularity is due to the faculty advisor, Dr. Wetzel.

f ' QQ V' X 'Tr'--s'T'5K LV lin , ART SOCIETY CD T has justly been said of the Art Society that that organization, though . rendering a valuable and far reaching service to the school, has never QD? Sq U I I I I I I I I 5? been accorded due recognition in club affairs. This is because it is QBISI Ixoe sl U inherently a quiet and unassuming body which cannot share in the if if limelight that comes naturally to many other clubs. Nevertheless, the order of its industry, of which the walls of our building contain abundant proof, can never be doubted. Nearly all the art Work gracing the pages of this book, in fact, has had its origin and has achieved its perfection under the auspices of the Art Society. Mr. D'Andrea is the guiding spirit of this small, artistic group, and through his assistance the members develop their natural creative instincts to the fullest capacity. The Palette is the official medium through which the society conveys the news of its activities to the school at large. The officers are: President ................. ...............

lata 1 4 Q W QWJQLEA gf LAW AND DEBATING SGCIETY QPU URING the past semester the Law and Debating Society slowly be iff name denotes its purpose is twofold to delve and explore the intri cacies of law and to furnish practice in public speaking ' '- ' ' The study of the law, if approached from the right angle, proves to be a most fascinating subject, for in it we have detailed before us the grad- uated steps in the progress of mankind. It is not merely a superficial study of moral codes and legal documents. It is a record of the unremitting devolp- ment of men's thoughts, religions and philosophies of life. The Law and Debating Society tries in its small way to penetrate the barriers of this mighty history and bring to light some of the evidences concealed therein. The second, and by far the more practical aim of the society, lies in its effort to strengthen the argumentive capacities of its members. This end has been attainedthrough steady practice at its weekly gatherings. Faculty speakers have also frequently graced these meetings and have afforded a happy combination of entertainment and instruction by their inter- esting lectures. Mr. Dyer, faculty advisor of the society, is largely responsible for the success it has enjoyed this semester. The officers who have led the club this term are: l en l . - 7 v - come one of the foremost organizations of Townsend Harris. As the 1.,. .Ap 7 . .
