With this idea in mind, nearly twelve enthusiastic persons gathered one evening early in the Fall to elect officers for the first term and to revise the constitution as it was deemed wise. XVith Ernest Shaw as president, Bertram Rathje as vice-president and XValter Pearson and Paul Mitchell as secretary and treasurer, once again the Debating Club was launched for a successful year. The botany laboratory was converted into a rostrum whereupon the members of the society poured forth their invectives and declamations. It was thot best by a majority of the club to extend the membership to twenty members. .The reason for this was to admit a number of Juniors in order that the interests of the organization could be carried on during the following year. Also, the constitution was so revised as to allow a two-thirds vote instead of an unanimous one to be necessary to admit a new member. For the second term, George Dawson was chosen president. Several de- bates were held in the Assembly Hall and afforded much practice in public speaking. Encouraged by the showing made in these debates, the Debating Club wished to follow in the wake of the successful football team against Naperville. So a debate was staged during the latter part of April with our old and bitter rivals on the subject of compulsory arbitration. The training received in these weekly debates is entirely practical and will stay with those who acquired it long after much of their school work fs forgotten. The Seniors, in passing out, wish the Debating Club well, believ- ing thoroly that it has a very important mission in the High School. E. R. S.

Although this was not so large a membership as in former years, it was large for this year when all have so much to occupy their out-of-school hours. The ofheers elected for the year were: Helen Guild, presidentg Paul Mitch- ell, vice presidentg XValdorf Grote, treasur- er and Myra Conyers, secretary. 'lt was decided not to attempt anything elaborate for the year ,as it would require foo much preparation, but the program was to meet every XYednesday morning and practice, that we might be prepared for whatever might arise. Those who did work with the club during the year felt repaid. for under the conscientious instruction of Miss Grace Mills we gained much of value. At the High School Christmas program, Miss Grace Mills the club sang' several numbers and in the N evening participated in the entertainment given by the pupils of the grades under the direction of Miss Mills, at the Gary Methodist church, for the benefit of the Red Cross and the Young Men's Christian Association. The Sunday before Christmas the chorus sang at the morning service of the XYayne church, where a cordial welcome was accord- ed us. The club disbanded in the spring as the juniors were busy with the an- nual play, and we felt that nothing should interfere with that. May those Juniors, the Sophomores and the Freshmen of this year's Choral Club be in- strumental in organizing again next fall. As the terrible events of the past year press more and more upon us, it becomes apparent to us all that some wholesome recreation is an absolute necessity. XYe need something that will re-create in us the spirit of joyousness and hope that has been so cruelly hurt by the depression of these times, and this can be accomplished in no way so well as thru the medium of music.

Conyers. 1 ' 'ik QW' 'lllx T IIIIllllIlIllIlIlllIllIIlllIlIIIIlII-IIllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlIllIllllIllIIIlIlulIIlilllIllll'lllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllII1IllIllllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIlIlIIlIIIIIIIIIIIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIU' l lllllllllllllllllllllllIzllllllIllllvlllllzlulllvllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllslllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllI!!lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllliIllIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIllIllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEII' l l - y ,E .Fw
