TJke Latin Club GLENNIS YOUNG President NANCY DRUM Vice-President ALLEEN YEATES Secretary DELORES LASSITER Treasurer MISS HUNDLEY Sponsor The Latin Club has the unique distinction of being the oldest club in the school. It was organized in the fall of 1943 under the able leadership of Miss Hundley. From the very first, it proved to be one of the most interesting and active clubs in the high school. The Club is planning a very active part in the celebration of Latin Week, which falls this year on the last week in April. At the present time, the club members are busily engaged in preparing an exhibit of Roman life, which will be on display during Latin Week in the Latin room. The week will be climaxed by a special program and entertainment for the parents of the Latin Club members. The Club colors are light blue and dark blue, and the Club song is “We’re the Members of J. C. L.” First Row: Jean Bibb, Alleen Yeates, Glennis Young, Miss Hundley, Nancy Drum, Delores Lassiter, Fred Harper Second Roze: Betsy Walsh, Donald Wilson, Frances Hubbard, Mary Wadford, Doris Young, Byrle Mullins, Edna Rayfield, Jo Ann Bryant Third Rozv: Sarah Cox, Kitty Banks, Geraldine Dameron, W.

Of i k e t L C S The ability to live and to work with other people and good sportsmanship in all our activities are perhaps the most valuable acquirements we can take with us when we leave Alexander Park High School. In working in the various organizations, we have learned to adapt our interests to those best for the group as a whole and to respect the opinions of others. As members of an athletic team — basketball, football, or baseball — we have learned the value of co-operation in winning the game. We have also learned to play fairly, to do our best, and to play out the game whether we win or lose.
