HE purpose of the Woodrow Wilson Literary Society is to promote public speak- ing, debating and social activities among Junior and Senior boys, who make up the membership of this organization. The society specializes in debating. The subject for the State debate this year was, “Resolved: That Congress should pass the Curtis-Reed Bill creating a Department of Education with a Secretary in the President’s Cabinet.” A great deal of study was done along this line and much valuable information was acquired.

While the work of the Woodrow Wilson Literary Society involves a comparatively small number of students from the school, the experiences and activities in which the organization participates afford worth-while opportunities for those who make up its membership.

The annual Dramatic Club play, “The Whole Town’s Talking,” was presented on November 22, in the Woodrow Wilson High School auditorium.

The following extract from the Portsmouth Star will give an idea of what people thought of it:

“That the play was thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish was well indicated by the loud and prolonged applause which marked the closing of each act. The entertainment, which would have done credit to professional talent, was under the able direction of Miss Zaidee Smith. An able cast, excellent plot and an abundance of humorous situations, put the play over ‘big.’ It was great from start to finish and there was not a ‘slow’ moment in the entire production.

“Awarding of individual honors is a hard matter. John Ball in the leading male role, attained signal success with his performance, and was ably supported by Grace Virginia Woodhouse.”

THE good ship “Student Club” has sailed successfully over the seas of 1927-28. The Captain and her officers, with the co-operation of the crew, piloted the ship to the calm and peaceful harbor of “High Ideals and Clean Living.” The itinerary of the voyage was planned with the object in view of emphasizing spirit, knowledge, and health. The cargo of the good ship was composed of a set of books called the “Student Club Library,” the “Him Book,” “Prayer Book” and the “Fun Book” being among the most unique and clearer of the collection. Everyone at the end of the voyage, having completed the study of the library, was able to enter the port with the one thought in mind, “To Find and Ciive the Best.”
