GENE CLOPTON Publicity Director IRGINLA HILTON Ref ' orter Something new has been added! It’s the Distributors Club, students of Alexander Park’s first class in Retail Training, and Distributive Education. DC members are honored seniors, and possible future tycoons in the world of busi- ness. Distributors Club provided a means of promoting friendship and cooperation among the students, faculty and retail institutions. Because it is a member of Distributors Clubs of Virginia, it forms a link in the chain of clubs and sends a delegate to the State Convention each year. Social activities combine with con- structive work to make the club an asset to the department and the school. DC members play as hard as they work — believe in that old maxim about all work and no play making a dull boy.

Our band has demonstrated excellent school spirit by playing for the pep rallies and it attended almost without exception the home football games and even a few of the games played elsewhere- The band is making rapid progress as an organization of note on our campus. We have planned several socials during the )-ear.
