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.

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
