Last year a group of students who were interested in speech work organized a club called The Forum, All students wishing to take part in any speech contest must be members of this organization. Therefore it is from the members of the Forum that all speech contestants are chosen. The of- goersa for this year were elected at the close of last year. J . The first work taken up was debate. From thirty- three contestants, ,' 4eight were picked. They were: Harold Buchanan, Eldon Hendrickson, J ohn gixon, Cyrus Tollefson, Clayton Weavill, Anna Rose Gross, Marion Smith, nd Genevieve Tenney. These students started to work soon after Christ- J mas vacation and were ready for the first debate February 15. The Aflirm- ative team was defeated at Richland Center, but the N egative team won from the same city here. Since Mazomanie forfeited her debate to Viroqua, a debate was arranged with the Aiiirmative team from the LaCrosse Cen- tral high school, which we also won. As soon as the debate season was closed, the Forum took charge of the other preliminary contests. These contests were held in assembly dur- ing and after school. After the final contests sometime in April, V's will be awarded to winners in speech work, including debaters and other speakers. We, of the organization, feel proud of our talented members. To Miss Conrad we wish to express our heart-felt appreciation for her help. L40LL

Eighteen members of last yearis club, with six recruits this year, make a wide-awake organiza- tion. The advisors are Rev. Davies, Rev. Harris and T.O.Mork. Supt. Ful- ton has been so loyal in his work with the club, so full of kindly interest and aglvice, that we want to here express our appreciation of the support he has glven us. The club gave an enjoyable party last year and the social committee has plans for a similar one during the second semester this year. Our meetings are held every other Wednesday noon and a committee of three members have charge of the dinner at each meeting. The boys are real caterers and serve and attend to the banquet duties in such an efficient manner that we feel we each deserve a full credit in Home Economics. Our club leader has made his name famous for the cocoa he makes. Most of our boys go to Phantom Lake to the two-week summer train- ing camp. Last year our club was represented by Carlyle McKibbin, who reported a most enjoyable time. The clubs in this district hold an annual conference each spring. Last year this conference was held at Sparta, but this year, we, ourselves, were hosts to a large group of boys from this district, and some of the state Y. M. C. A. officials from Milwaukee. -39e

Bowman, L. Slade. Bottom Row-E. Williams, tpresidentl; M. Gutsch, H. Davis, tsecretary-treasurerJ The Tennis Club was introduced last fall by Miss Enckhausen. Our first meeting was held in the early part of October, when we elected officers and decided to have dues of 25c a semester. The club is composed of about thirty-flve girls. Members whose pictures do not appear above are: G. Witcraft, A. R. Gross, H. Gorsline, E. Larson, L. Wise, V. Noggle, H.Verger- ont, B. Weller, L. Jacobson, A. Surenson, T. Methum, P. Slade, H. Baldwin, E. Stoda, M. Smith and E. N elson. The girls took a great interest in making the club a success. A twr- nament was well under way when Miss Enckhausen met With her acci- dent. The girls were divided into groups of twos, the winner of each group playing the winner of another, until the semi-finals were reached. Since the game was new to most of the girls, club activities were suspended until Miss Boschert, our new gym instructor, assumed all the gym duties. We are very pleased with our tennis courts, located east of the school building. Although last fall there was only one court, we now have two ready for use. A tournament will be played this spring, along with our reg- ular club work. There will surely be more competition in the spring tour- nament as the girls have played a great deal since the fall tournament. We hope to increase the success of the Tennis Club in the future. huh
