Open Forum Qrganized three years ago by a group of interested sophomores, the club has tried to stimulate an interest in current events. It is the only purely scholarly organ' ization in the school, catering to those whose interest lies along the line of modern history and topics of the day. The school is fortunate in having a club which stimuf lates the minds of the students and puts before them the problems which will be theirs to face tomorrow. Whenex'er possible, older speakers were invited to meet' ings, but on other occasions the club held a forum on some special current event, presided over by a different chairman at each meeting. In this way every member was given a chance to develop himself in platform speaking and parliamentary law and to express his views on events openly and freely. Microscope Club The lvlicroscope Club is an organization formed to train interested students in the use of equipment and to provide opportunities for advanced study in the field of scientific research. Qbviously, in such a group, progress depends upon the ability and initiative of the individual. During the first two semesters of the club's exisf tence after its organization in the fall of 1933, it was felt that the membership of twentyffive was too large for effective work. A constitution which limited member' ship to fifteen and provided that applicants must take an entrance examination, was prepared. Some of the programs given in the fall of 1934 included talks on moulds, the ultrafmicroscope, and crystalline structure. A field trip in the spring made the year's work complete. Page Tfwfnfy-eight

The voice of the student body! The Student Council is both of these things. It is the connecting link between ex' asperated teacher and puzzled student, and is manager of most of the student gov' ernment carried on within the school. Representatives elected from home rooms and clubs each year bring their ideas and problems to the Council for discussion and gain a clearer understanding of exactly why certain school rules are enforced. Since school is one of the necessities of life, whether enjoyed or abhorred, the Council tries to make the routine pleasant and easy for the student, relieving the monotony of the school weeks by sponsoring honesty drives, mixers, and dances, and holding meetings twice monthly. National Honor Society When the Wauwatosa Chapter was organized in 1929, it had an enrollment of twentyfone members as compared to its membership of fiftyfone last Iune. Since the Society is a national organization, the selection of members of each chapter is made on the same standard all over the country. Fifteen per cent of the Senior A class, ten per cent of the Senior B class, and five per cent of the Junior A class are chosen each semester from a list of students having the required scholastic average. How' ever, unless the possessor of high marks has the qualifications of leadership, service, and character, his scholarship is not enough. Officers and new members are chosen at the end of each semester, but only one initiation ceremony is held each year. Pam' Tq,ci'11ly-.wfzwll

Forensics Literature is not in the book. She has to do with the living speech of men. Her language is that of the lips. Her life is in the song, the ballad, the story, and the oration, the epic and the drama as they sound and are heard of men. -Percival Ghubb. Every year our students are urged to bring forth their forensic talent in a contest under the direction of Mrs. Gibson. The winners of the school go to the suburban, district, and finally, if eligible, to the state meet. Wauwatosa has always been eminently successful in the line of forensics. The winners of the school contests were Bob Stier, oratoryg jane Grossman, extemporaneous speaking, Henrietta Lee, extemporaneous readingg Aileen Mallon, serious declamationg and Mary .lane Steph' ens, humorous declamation. D e b a t e C l u b The club has for its purpose the fostering of the arts of logic and oratory. Ample proof of the popularity of debating was the doubling of the club's membership dur' ing the past semester. The debaters finished third in the suburban league, defeating Gudahy and West Milwaukee, but losing to West Allis and Waukesha. The quesf tion debated was: Resolved: that the federal government should adopt the policy of equalizing educational opportunity throughout the nation by means of annual grants to the several states for public elementary and secondary education . To give each member a chance to express his views, a number of extemporaneous debates were held on such subjects as the commission form of city government and the merits of lyceums.
