With its membership list open to every senior, the Civics Club has grown to be our largest organization. Perhaps the most worthy of all senior activities, it uniquely but efficiently combines sociability with the study of civic affairs toward the betterment of our com- munity as a whole. Under the capable spon- sorship of Miss Lind and Miss Day, the stu- dent leaders this year were Norma Dendooven Henry Doyle, Jack Moore, and Robert Craig, President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer respectively. 7 One of the many committees of this Club makes the first official move of an organiza- tion when it conducts their class elections the second week of school. This is the Election Committee, and its members serve the school in that they conduct honest and efficient elec- tions, and they also benefit themselves by learning election procedure. A popular feature of the Club is its trips to places of civic interest. Thus, the members have an opportunity of obtaining first-hand practical knowledge of our city government. One trip this year was the attendance at a meeting of the City Council and an inspection tour of the City Hall. Further educational tours were omitted because of curtailed trans- portation facilities. Another service to the school as a whole is the Clubis providence of programs and speakers for assembly programs on historic days. For example, a talk was given by Police Magis- trate Turnbaugh on Constitution Day. Several members of the Club combined to de- liver a panel discussion on how the high school is building for peace. These students were Norma Dendooven, Dave Kleinman, Bert Ebi, Walf1'ed Peterson, and John Colby. This was given before the Club at the regular meeting, and later before the Coolidge Junior High P. T. A. Outside speakers for the monthly Club meet- ings were Oscar Christoiferson. who showed interesting and inspiring motion pictures of the warg Mr. Ed Anderson, Superintendent of the Water Works, who delivered a helpful talk on municipal sanitation and city governmentg and Mrs. Easborn Rusco, who gave a timely wealth of information on point rationing.
