At the close of football season, both Mr. Pendergast and all boys athletically inclined, had time to turn to the organization of Lettermenis Club. Membership in Lettermen's is open to any boy who stays out for practice to the close of a season of a particular sport. The right to vote and hold office, however, is limited to those boys who have earned their varsity UC. Lettermenls Club dates back fifteen years to a worthy beginning. It was organized then to raise the standard of high school athletics, to uphold the scholastic standings of the mem- l lll5T ROW' llmll to Righllt E4lwul'4l Nnniuslci. Tlwum- Calllum.

Since that time Lettermen's has steadily climbed until it now stands among the foremost of Coughlin's organizations. At their regular meetings, the lettermen promote co-operation. This they feel should be practiced off the playing field as well as on. The members make every effort to establish good will and friendship among the boys of the school. The ofhcers are: president, Joseph Dowd, vice-president, Thomas Cannon, secretary, David Davies, treasurer, Eugene Dysleskig Journal reporter, James Richards. On Thursday, December 23, Winheld L.

of various points of interest all over the United States. These pictures he toolc himself from a trans-continental airliner on its regular trip. As the pictures were flashed on the screen, the speaker told about each, its location and points of beauty. Some of the most deeply interested spectators at Mr. lVlarlcham's lecture were the mem- bers of the Aviation Club. To many of them, the sights from an airplane will in years to come be very familiar, for they naturally intend to continue their worlc in aeronautical fields. These boys are already deeply versed in the subject of aviation. At their regular meet- ings, most of the time is given over to discussions of new types of planes, new developments, W W , , ,,..

Ar various times, individual members who belong to national aviation groups receive pamphlets, which are read to the club. Two years ago the Aviation Club started an airplane model building contest which has since become a regular institution. This contest, besides arousing interest in aviation throughout the school, adds many fine models to the club's already substantial collection. In addition to model planes, the club has many actual airplane parts. A nine foot, wooden propeller is their prize possession. They also have an altimeter, an actual airplane carburetor and cylinder, and many flying instruments. Officers for the first semester are: president, Milton Edelman, recording secretary, Joseph Stichg Hnancial secretary, john Lorenzinig treasurer, John Emanslcig chairman of committees, Frank Edwards.
