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.

Betsey Ingraham, Karen Baird, and Sondra Flowers have done much of the advertising for the yearbook. Many posters, displayed in the halls, have been made by these girls. Many of the workers have been counting tax stamps. One of the projects was to cutout pennants to stick on the cafeteria trays to advertise for subscriptions tothe yearbook.
