Euninr Evhating 011nm N December, 19'9, two Junior Debating Clubs, one for the girls and one for the boys of the three lower grades, were organized under the direction of Miss Lotze. So many pupils applied for meme bership in the clubs that it was necessary to limit the membership to those whose average in school work was seventy-hve per cent or over. The Boys' Club elected Harry Elmore president; Vernon Venable. vice president; and Albert Mayer. secretary. The ofhcers of the Girls' Debating Club are. Betty Brown, president; Jean Small, vice president, and Florence Dalzell, secretaIy. The meetings of the clubs are held on Tuesday, the seventh period, every other week. Each member has an opportunity to take part in a formal debate. and many subjects of national and local importance are discussed at the meetings. In May a lively debate on the question of Military Train- ing was held between the Boys' and the Girls' club. The enthusiasm and ability which the members of the lower grades have manifested in the work of the debating societies give promise that in the future the proud record of Walnut Hills High School will be upheld.
