At XVebb, debating has always been considered one of the most important extra-curricular activi- ties and has always been one of the most popular. A significant feature of XVebb's forensic activities has been the keen competition between the two sister societies. the Hamiltons and the Platonics. In recent years, however, the popularity of debat- ing has increased. The membership of both so- cieties had increased to such a point that they were too large for efficient operation. Because of this fact, one of YVebb's oldest traditions has been broken. Immediately following the beginning of the sec- ond term, Mr. Follin announced that plans had been made for a new literary society which would be called the 'jeffersonian Literary Society. This new group would be composed of freshmen and sub-freshmen. It would be organized on the same general basis of the older societies with a constitu- tion, oflicers, and regular debates. On February 8, l958, this new group was first called to order and officers were elected. Ken Chandler was chosen presidentg Mack O'Brien, vice- presidentg Cyril Fraser, secretary: Eddy Bradley, marshal. A vigorous schedule of debates, lectures, and instruction in debating was arranged. The purpose of the new society is to give the younger group a firm foundation in debating. This will be quite useful in later years. This program is especially designed to fit the needs of boys who have had no previous debate experience. Through lectures and personal research, the members learn all the skills of debating. XVith debating the so- ciety seeks to develop the other branches of the science of oratory. Extemporaneous speaking abil- ity, the art of declamation, and other rhetorical arts are heavily stressed. The society has had a successful year and has produced some excellent debators. The prospects seem bright for further advancement. Page 53
