One of the most important organizations in the school, Girls' Club, spurred onward to its goals of unity and friendliness under the leadership of Debbie Salisbury, president, Beth Egly, vice- president, Cathy Lamson, secretary, Gay Hill, treasurer, and Miss Sutherland and Mrs. Lotzkar, advisers. Early fall activities were the Little Sister Picnic, and a Get-Acquainted Tea. The next event was the Thanksgiving project. All girls had the oppor- tunity to contribute to five needy families. Other activities were the Father-Daughter Banquet, the Christmas Tea, and the Tolo. Friendliness prevailed and was radiated throughout MIHS due to the club's success in unifying the girls of the student body. Eagerness to express themselves through service to the school characterized the Boys' Service Club. Jack Franzel, president, Mike Vranesh, vice-president, .lim Dwyer, secretary-treasurer, and adviser, Mr. Stimpson comprised the club's leadership. Membership was selective, requiring each applicant to perform certain activities for the school in various capacities. With service as their main obiective, the Boys' Service Club performed such duties as working at games and assemblies, helping with con- cessions, cleaning up after games and setting up bleachers and microphones. The year was concluded by the annual presentation of the Boy of the Year award, presented to the most inspirational boy of the club.
