Although this club was not officially organized until late in February, members were hard at work on service proiects early in the fall. 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 .

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.

Camera Club, composed of students interested in photo- graphic equipment and technique, met every two weeks with club advisor, Mr. Hora. These amateur shutter-bugs practiced photographic techniques on several field trips and studied different types of photographic equipment and methods of film development.
