Vmcfiry lub Organized to promote sports and better sportmanship three years ago, this club has continued in that trend. Each year it has grown until this year it has twenty-one members. The members must earn a varsity letter and be in high school to be eligible to join. Cheerleaders who have earned a letter for cheering may also join. Veterans who earned a letter before entering service are eligible to enroll in the ranks of the club. We wish to see the club continue in its upward trend for better athletics.
