Varsity Letters Add School Spirit To CHS AT THE OSCAR SMITH BASKETBALL GAME, Johnny Woodard gladly makes another drink sale and thus adds more money to the Varsity “C” treasury from this yearly club project. Throughout the year, the members of the Varsity “C” Club extended an invitation of affiliation to all the Churchland boys who earned a varsity letter for the first time. Besides wearing coats and ties, the boys who accepted the invitation sold drinks and candy at all home basketball and baseball games. Each senior member of the club was “required” to serve as big brother to a pledge, who was, in tiun, “allowed” to make life a little more pleasant for the older member by performing various services for him. Club activities also included sponsoring the Har- vest Queen in October and the student-faculty basketball game after the regular basketball season. The final activity was the annual picnic and beach party which was held in late spring at Virginia Beach. In an effort to boost school spirit, the club set aside every other Friday for the wearing of school letters. Members brought the track record case up- to-date twice during the school year. Officers for the year were Mel Kimkle, pres.; Dan Parker, v-pres.; William Ware, sec.; Billy McGlaugh- on, treas.; Ashley Butler and jimmy Hawks, sgts.-at- arms; and Mr. Burgess, sponsor.

The Monogram Club strives to stimulate interest in all phases of the girls’ athletic program at Church- land. The club tries to promote and develop school spirit and a true feeling of sportsmanship. Membe r- ship in the club was increased by offering letters to any girl who attended Churchland High School and played on a softball team in the Chesapeake Recrea- tion Department. These girls also had to be recom- mended by their respective coaches. With this in mind, the club for the first time entered a float in the homecoming parade. The theme was “Blondie and Dagwood,” and even though it didn’t win a prize, it set a precedent for next year’s members. The final activity was the annual picnic and beach party which was held in late spring at Virginia Beach. The prime target for the club was to supplement the fund for buying curtains for the girls’ gym. ' They accomplished this by sponsoring two post-season basketball games. ' The first was between the varsity and the girls’ basketball team and the second was a student-faculty game. A week at Virginia Beach pro- vided club members with an ideal way to round out the year’s activities. Officers for the year were Paulette Spruill, pres.; Sandy Bailey, v.-pres.; Donna Brantley, sec.; Linnea Woodling, treas.; and Miss Van Dyck, sponsor. TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT OF FURNISHING CUR- tains for the gymnasium, Paulette Spruill and Linnea Wood- ling check their material for the curtains for two more win- dows.
