STUDENT HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES The Student House is the oldest existing debating society in Arthur Hill High School. Under the inspiring leadership of Mr. Haggard it has developed from a mere assembly into a live organization entirely capable of discussing any question that may come up. At the begin- ning of this year, the Student House was divided, the Seniors withdrawing to form a Student Senate. The traditional fighting spirit has lost but little upon its separation into two bodies, but on the contrary, this session has witnessed some of the stormiest debates in its history, excepting none. Its recent faculty advisor, Mr. Neeles, has proven himself impartial, and a staunch friend of every member of the Student House. His resignation was received with sorrow by this body. The Student House is fortunate in having Mr. Schreiber as his successor. All the meetings have been well attended, and an organization that is so well attended certainly has something behind it of very high quality. The Student House has not only benefited its members mentally but it has given them a view into the intricacies of legislation, and a knowledge of politics that will prove invaluable when they become full-fledged citizens of the United States. It has proved itself equal to the task of producing logical, clear-headed debaters, and, if it has accomplished nothing else, that alone has earned for it the gratitude of every member. The following are its officers: 1st Semester 2nd Semester Speaker Clerk Assistant Clerk Sergeant-at-Arms Student Critic Ray Goodrow Culbert Arnold Fred Helfrecht Henry Lauer Ray Goodrow Nathan Schrieb Thomas Mahar William Purmort William Roethke Theodore Roethke The Members DeKline Brown Kretchman Izzo Johnson T.

SPANISH CLUB It has long been felt that Spanish, as a commercial and cultural language, should be represented in school activities. Its supporters met at the first of the year, elected officers, promulgated a constitution, and the present Spanish Club is the result. As a social organization, this club has proved highly successful. This year the Spanish Club dance was the only one for years that resulted in a financial, as well as social success. The inauguration of speeches on Spanish life and customs, has not only created an interest in the subject, but has given the advanced students an intimate knowledge of Hispanic culture. From an enrollment of twelve at the first meeting, to a final enrollment of forty-seven members at the sixth meeting, the Spanish Club almost accomplished the impossible. The Spanish Club is out to win.
