N. Week. ,I 'fflfy 1 fares Dividing the club into small study groups enabled the Iunior Council on World Affairs to provide many interesting and diversified activities for its members. Each of the seven small groups, called cell-blocks, were directed by one club officer and a cell-block leader. Monthly awards to the cell-block with the best program of activities kept club enthusiasm high. Political speeches and a United Nations parade made ICOWA's annual U.N. celebration unique. During the week of October 24-28, third Congressional District can- didates Charles Whalen and Rodney Love presented their political views to the community in two public meetings sponsored by ICOWA. In order to display the club's U.N. float, members also participated in a U.N. parade, walking behind the float from the high school to the Town and Country shopping center. There the float was exhibited throughout the day. Community service constituted a large portion of ICOWA's program of activities. Club members, with brooms in hand, eagerly took part in stadium clean-up after all home games. Much time and effort was also expended in door-to-door collections for cancer and multiple sclerosis. Membership in Centervi11e's ICOWA was selective, being open only to juniors and seniors with a C aver- age. Applicants Were also required to Write a theme stating their reasons for desiring membership and showing a definite interest in world affairs.
