Boys Play A Part Throughout The Year . . . BOYS' CLUB Boys, boys, boys to the right of us, boys to the left of us, but not one girl in sight. This is the case every Tuesday night when the Boys' Club holds its weekly meet- ing. Let us look in and see what is done at these masculine gatherings. The business meeting is being conducted by Gilbert Rof- fers, president, ably assisted by vice-presi- dent Bob Verber, Treasurer Pat Martin, and Secretary Kenneth Feser. Such business as there is, usually consumes very little time, after which members are free to play basket- ball, volley ball. or indoor. Never let it be said that the Boys' Club activities are limited to sports alone, Sever- al swimming parties were held at the Y. M.- C. A, this year and none of us can overlook th e never-to-be-forgotten Homecoming, staged last fall by the male members of this Page Twenty--six organization, aided and abetted by the cheer- leaders and pep band, Another big event was the sleigh ride party, held when Old Man Winter was in the height of his glory. It was decided to make it a real party and have each mem- ber invite his favorite feminine friend. After an invigorating jaunt through the country- side, the party returned to the Union Hotel for chili, to satisfy the demands of the inner man. As you may know, the Boys' Club is a very exclusive organization. Freshmen are not allowed to join. The purpose of having a Boys' Club is to give the boys of De Pere High a way to spend some of their leisure time and have a good time while doing so. This is not all it has accomplished, how- ever: it has aroused in the students a sense of strong school spirit and cooperation with all activities.

On this play, Coller was forced to leave the game because of injuries. Kaukauna opened up the third period with a sweeping attack which ended in their single touchdown. Through- out the game, the Redbirds were able to show their superiority in attack, but weren't able to capitalize on scores. The final count was 6-6. 1. Hermans with Gilson. 2. Gilson und Coller. 3.
