V The D-Clan is a boys' club made up of all the varsity letter winners of Willis High's interscholastic athletic teams. The aim of this club is to promote and maintain good, clean athletics. Any boy receiving a varsity D in sports is eligible for membership. The winning of a D requires active participation in a varsity sport and only one D is given to an athlete. After the boys win their letter, the sportsmen re- ceive a gold bar for each year thereafter. The captains of the teams receive a gold star to add to their letter. This year the D-Clan was busy selling popcorn at the football games. The big event for the year was the annual spring banquet. Officers for the i955-56 year were President, John Talley, Vice-President, Ed Raduggee, Secretary-Treasurer, Bill Bossert.
