Traffic Squad As the end of another school year approaches we find our Traffic Squad efficiently maintain- ing order in the corridors and in the cafeteria. The Squad is under the leader- ship of Captain Robert Benson assisted by First Lieutenant Clif- ton Marieni, Second Lieutenant Roland Rochfort, and Secretary Jean Thomson. The Squad was however handi- capped by the loss of a trust- worthy member, Henry Brochetti, who was called into the Armed Forces. We wish to thank Miss Marie LeVan for her devoted and loyal assistance throughout the year.

Sports Club The Sports Club with eighty- seven members spent most of the year indoors, discussing football, basketball and baseball. With the advent of spring, the boys went outside. At the present time, there is a baseball tournament whose outcome will he determined when the Seniors play any willing underclass team. Advisors are Mr. C. Howard Coding and Mr. Kenneth L. Mackenzie. Typing Club The Typing Club was formed for the benefit of those who were unable to fit typing into their courses. We have thirty-five members, the majority of whom are Freshmen. Every week we learn some- thing new and with Miss Helen Lynch as our instructor, our knowledge of the typewriter has increased tremendously. Now- that we know the majority of the keys on the typewriter, all we need is a little practice. By the end of the year we hope to be able to type business letters and have a good record in speed.
