Our debating club is becoming
one of the most outstanding clubs e
in school March 16, although only v
organized three months, a debate d
was held against the New Bern de- ft
bating club, with Linda Salter and a
Allen Autry traveling to New Bern C
and Jackie Wheatley and Frank e
Potter staying in Beaufort. The e
two New Bern debaters that came
here were John Riley Ross and p
Albert Salem Jr. p
The subject of debate was "That d
governmental subsidies should be e
granted according to need to high C
school graduates who qualify for o
additional training." J
Although New Bern won both
debates our freshmen debaters
showed up mighty fine against
New Bern's senior debating club.
This is due not only to the mem
bers of the club, but also to Mrs.
Shuey and Mrs. Roba Lee King,
who are sponsors. Tho judges of
the debate were Rev. Sharp, Mrs.
U. E. Swann and Mrs. Lockwood
Phillips. The time-keepers were
Jim Thomas for New Bern, and
Paula Hill for Beaufort.
This debate was a great exper
ience and we bet that before long
our debating club will be one of
the best in this section of the
state.
Last Monday the seniors were
very fortunate to have Mr. Edward
F. Gray, who lives in New Bern, to
discuss with us the many problems
of social security. He expressed the
point that more and more jobs
are requiring social security and
that it is up to us to make laws
and keep up with the laws that
change and make social security
better.
A movie was also shown on just
how social security works. We ap
preciate so much Mr. Gray's visit
and hope that he will be able to
visit our school more often.
The meeting of the Beaufort
senior 4 H club was called to or
der by the president, Barbara Tay
lor. After the devotional, the girls
had a demonstration on Dairy
Foods, and the boys were shown
slides on soil conservation.
The meeting was adjourned with
the 411 club pledge.

that senior play and we're warn
