THE YEARBOOK CLUB P 1 D ,. x ln October 1951, with the school year just begun, Nineteen senior students had a whim to start some fun, The Yearbook Club, it seemed to them, so very dull would be, And so they joined and planned to bring more life and gaiety. And then the postcards, pen and ink, Addresses, and ads they found Would bring them money for their book, And so they trod around. They figured ways and tried their best To make their money stretch and stretch. They tried and succeeded, Now our funds are deleted. S L' L- ' T x Q bo gf

STUDENT ACTIVITY PROGRAM After a student survey was held the faculty and the students thought that a Club Program should: 1. Provide opportunities for students to explore their special interests, 2. Encourage the development of new pupil interests, 3. Enrich the already established school program and build school unity and morale, 4. Develop social abilities of students, 5. Train students in leadership, fellowship and general citizenship. Each club is made up of volunteers, except a few clubs which require try-outs. Those people who are chosen to become cheerleaders for 1951-'52 are chosen from students other than those who belong to team or varsity, again providing opportunity for more students to participate in school activities. It was approved that membership be selected for Glee Club and Argus Club. The teacher-sponsor is responsible for the discipline of his club members during the club period. A student may belong to two clubs. Almost everyone jumps at this chance. Students may withdraw from a club by presenting to the Activities Committee a written application giving reasons for such withdrawals. The committee with the sponsor will then decide whether or not the withdrawals should be made. With- drawals may be made only during the first quarter of the school year. During the fall a Sports Carnival in which all the clubs participate, is held. The proceeds are used for the needs of the clubs. For this reason dues are not necessary. Each club is given an allotment according to its needs. We feel the variety of our clubs takes care of the objectives as set up by the students and faculty. at . .. 5 Q at iagagic V1 , V , Sl ..

Lassotovitch The Senior High Glee Club presented, Christmas Blessings on December 13, 1951. Dressed in red cassocks and white surplices the chorus formed a beautiful picture with the Christmas trees and other decorations, thus fill- ing'the air with a Christmas Spirit. Under the direction of Miss Eleanor M. Dries, the Christmas story was told through scenes and music. After the many hours of work put into the program the Glee Club felt they were well rewarded by the fine attendance and success of Christmas Blessings.
