DOROTHY EPSTEIN President Advisor Debaters listen as Kelly Shaver gives his presentation. Furtherance of mathematical knowledge was the purpose of Math Club. This club met every Tuesday. Mr. Goman of C.P.S. led the discussions which covered such subiects as the philosophies of mathematics. The club based its discussions on Sawyer's Prelude to Mathematics, often dwelling on such subiects as non-Euclidean concepts of geometry. Membership in Math Club was based on an interest in higher mathematics. Although most of the members of the club were mathematics students, it was unnecessary to have a math class. Members gained a knowledge of many different mathematical concepts which they would not have received in class. 32 ROW l: S. Allen, K. Gates, Vice President, R.

Sutter, D. Tatman Resolved: That the public elementary and secondary edu- ctztibnal system of the United States should be fundamentally revised was the topic of debate for the T958-59 debate season. Debate Club held several practice debates with other local high schools, and entered into league debates which lead to tournaments at Pacific Lutheran College and the College of Puget Sound. The students attending these tournaments participated in debate and in forensic activities that included impromptu speaking, extemporaneous speak- ing, interpretative reading, oratory, and after dinner speak- mg. ln November, the club sent several delegates to the Pacific Lutheran College Student Congress, the only student congress of its kind in the world. Each student went through an entire day like that a Congressman's. ln the spring, debate letters were awarded to all members having participated in debates at tournaments during the year. Installation of officers for the ensuing year completed the club's affairs. T: R. Clarke, B. Bodhaine, D. Brewer, B. Hibbard, H. Honson, J. 2: Mr. Otterson, advisor, R. Heglund, J. Stevens, K.

The ram, christened Maynard I in honor of Wilson's principal, Maynard Ponko, made his debut in October during an outdoor pep assembly. Making his first game appearance at the West Bremerton football game in Bremerton, Maynard encouraged the school spirit so evident at Wilson this year. After appearing at the classic Turkey Day game, where he was wildly applauded, Maynard returned to his quarters at Carsten's to await calls for other appearances and write letters of encouragement to the student body and the team. These letters appeared in the BANNER and were enthusiastically read by the students. QFVYOUR Someone borrowed the Wilson mascot. 31 A pep parade leads the way to the Turkey Day Game.

Members were chosen on the basis of scholarship, leader- ship, and character. Membership was limited to high school boys as apportioned from the senior, iunior, and sophomore classes by Key Club Board Directors, the school principal, and the Kiwanis Committee. i nnnu dh A 'N-.9- 1 gf 'Elia E .
