SCRIBBLER ' CLUB The young budding writers of Baker-Victory had an opportunity to express themselves in the activities of the Scribblers' Club. During the year some members wrote and di- rected one.act plays. Others placed their works of essay and poetry in national high school anthologies. From time to time field trips were taken to surround- ing scenic points in order to help the writers in their descriptive powers. Young, as far as clubs are concerned, members extend their writing talents into the copy fields of the Palm and the Golden Cross . The club is a great aid to students who feel inclined to follow courses in English and Journalism in college and in careers. Group criticisms are held at which styles are perfected, more flowing and fluid works result. Prose is not their only forte, as many of the Scribblers have tried and successfully published some poetry. Always correcting and looking forward to perfection, they showed us the necessity of adhering to a .work until it is done. To the chroniclers of the school we say thanks, knowing that in years to come as we read of their successes, we can say with pride that we traveled the Journey through high school with them at our sides.

Consequently, Spanish emerges to a place of importance in modern language stud- ies. We had a lot of fun learning their dances, but we still have a long way to go. Songs ancl customs also played an important part in our programs. Those strange sounding names became familiar as we studied their geography. Social and political -events found their way into our discussions. After a full year of participating in the club's activities, we feel that we have become better neighbors for we have tried through knowledge to stretch our hands across the border in a gesture of friendship and understanding. This has been a wonderful Journey through strange and distant lands. We have been left richer for experiences and our Journey to Success was more re- warding and enioyable as a result. That's a girl Francie show them how it's done. F. Kramer gives a few dance pointers to Ellen Hall, Carol Nemeth, and Peggy Cavanaugh. 79

STAMP and COIN CLUB Distant and strange lands became close and familiar friends for members of the Stamp and Coin Club. Their regular meetings were filled with the latest information of the latest editions and newest coins available. Likewise, they read and prepared papers on the many countries of the world which their numerous collections covered. By these meet- ings, the members are able to improve the quantity of their collections. Carefully prepared talks delivered by individual members help to broaden everyone's knowledge of various countries, their quaint customs and important personages. r A large part of every meeting is devoted to the exchange of stamps. Both the Stamp and Coin Club's activities enlarge the vision of members, broaden their knowledge and in innumerable ways enrich their lives. Each stamp and coin becomes a flying carpet transporting the collector to the far off places of the world or back into the pages of History. Their exhibits broadened our own horizons and make us well aware of the many new members of the family of nations. i T' -,QL .. in if A3 e .lit 4131 llglfl Paul Skoczylas, Robert Koralewski and Father Robert catch up on the latest stamp news.
