SGCIAL COMMITTEE . . S S R - f . .1 i e . ' ' be 1,4-ft In riglll: Peter Smith, jim Morris, Tommy H'hitsitt, Carleton Smith, Aubrey Harwell. The Social Committee, under the direction of Mr. Mack Harris Scott III, sponsored the dances held this year by Webb School. Due to unfavor- able circumstances only two dances were given this year instead of the usual three. The fall dance was held in November in the gymnasium, which was tastefully decorated in au- tumn colors. Music was furnished by The Casuals, and the dance was a very enjoyable affair. The spring dance, scheduled for May 17, was quite a success, from the standpoint of music, dec- orations and visitors. Page 58 A large number of visiting beauties came to Bell Buckle to add their charm to the spring scene from many neighboring states as well as from cities and towns of Tennessee. The orchestra was good with enough variety in its selections to please everybody. Mr. Scott had for his student committee for l957-58 the following boys: Tommy Whitsitt, chair- man, Carleton Smith, representing the freshmen, Aubrey Harwell, sophomores: Jim Morris, juniors, Peter Smith, seniors.

THE CURRENT EVENTS CLUB Left to right, first row: Stuart Walker, Owen Collins, Richard Taft, julian Bell, joe Ford, jack Nowell. Second row: Terry Tunis, lid Smith, Pope Harrison, Lee Marbury, Chuck Bucke, john Miller, Billy Keach. The Current Events Club, one of the little known organizations of the school, had a definite pick-up this year over the past few years due to the spon- sorship of Mr. Weaver. This club is traditionally designed to give boys an opportunity to discuss the happenings in the world at the present. It is open to boys of all ages and has proven to be a very educational organiza- tion, and it has also been a buffer to the debating societies since it stimulates an interest in the minds of boys concerning daily events. Weekly round table discussions are held, providing speech prac- Page 60 tices for the members, who receive no such training from a debating society. For these weekly discussions, those boys are ap- pointed by the President to familiarize themselves with interesting topics, so they will be prepared to answer questions asked them the following week. The favorite topics are: Russian and American Scientific Discoveries and Advancementsg segrega- tion and labor. The oflicers for the current events club this year are Chuck Bucke, presidentg Ed Smith, secretary and marshal.
