Cg The CREATIVE ENGLISH Club has been func- tioning successfully for eleven years. It is composed of students who have distinguished themselves in writing original essays, short stories, or poems. The club members pursue two avenues in order to perfect their ability to write more effective English. They write regularly upon special topics usually emulating the style of a recognized author. They also read masterpieces of literature and study them intensively to find out the best methods to write convincingly. With the retirement of Dr. Hasenfus, Mr. O’Connor has taken over the guidance of this group. From this group usually come our contestants in city and state essay contests. The writers of this club do not aspire to write best sellers but to improve their powers of written expression so that they can continue in college or in later life a career in creative writing. Mr. Wall opens our minds to great poetry

The Corridor Patrol is made up of a group of vol- unteers who perform an essential task in the smooth functioning of our school. These boys give up their free time during their lunch period to make sure that no unauthorized personnel, either strangers or stu- dents, are allowed to wander about our building. They see that there is no confusion or congestion during filing to and from the cafeteria. Visitors are greeted politely and escorted to the main office. The Corridor Patrol performs a real service in the efficient admin- istration of our new school with its lengthy, endless corridors and its five floors of classrooms, shops, and laboratories. Mr. Brokvist has efficiently organized this group so that no place of importance is left un- guarded. Under his direction there has developed a very fine spirit of cooperation between students and the officers of the patrol. ee i +i : } ) i Covel ty: otal Third Row: Kelly, Georgaqui, Santry, Condil, Wein- berg, Hall, Sanborn.

A newcomer to the school list of activities, the DISCUSSION GROUP has already made its place secure. Mr. Bowes, as faculty adviser to this serious group, has stimulated the members to think deeply about the problems confronting the United States as a democratic nation. The DISCUSSION GROUP aims Sp . as not at mere talk but at better understanding of our tSCUSSLON Gr ee neighbors, and of the world in which we live. It stresses necessity for accurate knowledge and disci- plined thinking. As citizens of tomorrow, the mem- bers of the club strive to become cooperative and re- sponsible citizens, to gain true appreciation of their American heritage, and to develop ability to think for themselves. Serious problems seriously discussed are of great benefit in arousing a sense of values and standards.
