THE OCTET Irfl In right: Fred Sharp. Frank Hull. Fd Rhea. Pele Stexens, larry ll-rock, Dave Christensen, Chuck Bucke, julian llell, Owen Collins. Since music has been enjoyed generally, and be- cause it is capable of expressing profound thoughts and is pleasing to the ear, many organizations have been formed for the making and enjoying of vari- ous kinds of music. So thought the founders of the Octet of XVebb School. The date of its origin is obscure, but seems to have occurred about the time Mrs. Rosenberg became a teacher. The name Octet comes from the Latin octo, meaning eight, because the original had eight members. Down through the years, the membership of the Octet has increased and decreased many times, but the organization still retains the given name. As to subject matter, the Octet sings everything except rock and roll. It offers something to everyone. This is to insure the enjoyment and the cooperation of all members. Only through team- work and practice can it offer the best entertain- ment of which it is able to produce. This is a rule impressed upon the members by their able director, Mrs. Emma Rosenberg. In the past, the members of the Octet have de- rived a great amount of pleasure from this organi- zation, at the same time allowing others to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Their sincere hope is that their programs have been enjoyed by all and that in the future they will continue their success- ful past. Page 49

On September ll, l958, the Hamilton Literary Society launched into another year of forensic ac- tivities. This year has produced many good de- bates and extemporaneous speeches. Breaking an old tradition, the society held inter- society debates other than the usual mid-term and linal debates. Each society sent a team of debators to the opposing group and both spoke on the same topic, one of special interest at the time. Re- solved: That Governor Faubus was justihed in his actions concerning the Arkansas school. Although the Hamilton teams held different sides of the question, they were victorious in both cases. Pete Blanton and Chuck Bucke were elected to be the mid-term debators while Henry lllhiteside was made alternate. The question for the debate was,. Resolved: That foreign aid should be sub- stantially increased. The Hamilton team did an excellent job of upholding the aflirmative and this was considered an excellent debate by all. The lelamiltons defeated the Platonics in this debate alter a two hour argument of mixed moods. There were lnunorous as well as serious parts, and the debate was greatly enjoyed by all attending. For the Final Debate Tommy XVhitsitt and Peter Smith were chosen to represent the Hamiltons with lVells Garden serving as alternate. The question was Resolved: That the best interests of the states involved and the nation will be enhanced if the southern states will cease to resist the edict of the Supreme Court and will integrate their schools as prescribed by the Federal Courts, Along with extemporaneous speaking and decla- mation. the debators have upheld the llamilton tradition and helped to write another glowing page in the annals of its history.
