-52 THE HIGH SCHOOL BOYS' CLUB The High School Boys' Club was organized in January, 1958. The boys converted the room that had formerly been a coal bin in the basement of the grade building into a . basketball dressing room, The walls were washed and painted, the floor was scrubbed and painted, and electric lights were installed. When the work was started the ' ' room was not intended for a club room. However, as every- one seemed to like the idea of having a club, one was or- ganized. A , .Mr, Green and six boys drew up a constitution. The main ideas stressed in the constitution are citizenship, sportsmanship, and wholesome recreation. It was decided that any boy in high school was eligible to join, and the dues were placed at five cents a week. A meeting of the members was called, and the constitution was ratified. Later the name HHigh School Boys' ClubN'was approved by the members. There was an election held, with all the - members voting. The officers elected were: President, Donald Harmountg Vice President, Paul Willis, Secretary and Treasurer, Wendell Morrison, Faculty Adviser, Mr. Greenj and a Council of seven. ' ' A A ping-pong table, furniture, and a badminton set were bought. The dues :re used to buy equipment. Several members brought other games. The club is opened two nights a week, Tuesdhy and Friday, and is also used in the leisure time at school. The boys are very enthusiastic about the club and like it very much. They hope it will remain in the school and will be a living organization for a long time to come. They plan to buy a piano and a radio next fall. ' -se 1 -se To awaken each morning with a smile brightening my face, to greet the day with reverence for the opportun- ities it contains, to approach my work with a clean mind, to hold ever before me, even in the doing of little things, the Ultimate Purpose toward which I am working, to meet men and women with laughter on my lips and love in my heartg to be gentle, kind and courteous through all the hours, to approach the night with weariness that ever wooes sleep, and with the joy that comes from work well done--this is how I desire to waste wisely my days. --Thomas Dreier.
