Their chief activity was to assist at football and basketball games by ush¬ ering, taking tickets, wa ' .ching en¬ trances, and policing the field during football games and the floor during basketball games. The running of the yards and downs to go markers was another of their many activities. They also assisted at the Junior Play by ar¬ ranging seats and watching doors. The student council designated them to keep Blackie quiet at assem¬ blies and to remove him if he created too great a disturbance. They also saw that Blackie got at least one bath during the year. An after game dance was held in Patriots ' Hall in order to raise money for their expenses. This year the club has been under the leadership of Ron Grotting, presi¬ dent; Frank Lamb, secretary-treasur¬ er; and James Bingham, sergeant-at- arms. Mr. Robert Scott and Mr. John Eliassen are the club ' s advisors.
