and Sightseeing With Friends Trips highlighted the school year. Social studies classes visited the new telephone building and the Chicago Historical Society. The most memorable of all trips was to Wash¬ ington D.C. While in our capital city, Clark sight¬ seers stayed at the Hotel Manger Annapolis and went on a tour which included the Bureau of Print¬ ing and Engraving, the White House, and the Capitol Building. Other points of interest were the Naval Academy at Annapolis; Thomas Jefferson’s home, Monticello; and Arlington Cemetery. George Washington’s home, Mount Vernon, and an evening at the famous Casino Royale Supper Club climaxed the trip. Touring our nation’s capitol not only enriches our sense of history, but provides a chance for full-hearted laughter. During a trip to the telephone building, Ed Shields and Bill Rowley examine a poster explaining the new dial process.

Clark Social Life — Cutting-up, Laughing, An opportunity to develop fine character and personality traits was given to all high school stu¬ dents. Dances and plays gave Clarkites the chance to become better acquainted with each other. As¬ semblies were not a means of getting out of a par¬ ticular class, but a way of building the student’s character in an entertaining way. The sectionals proved to all that Clarkites are MIGHTY PROUD of G. R. C. The cheering block was filled to capacity. Co-operation was at its peak. All the students wore white, and some received blue collars to make up the “C” in the middle of the cheering block. The “C” Club, wearing their “C” Club sweaters formed a blue border on one side of the cheering block. Enthusiasm for the sectionals was built up even more by the decision to have a caravan of decorated cars honk their way from the Clark parking lot to the Washington Gymnasium. Graduation added the final touch to Clark’s social life. For many it was a joyous occasion, meaning the end of four years of hard work. For others, graduation brought tears. Whether it be tears or smiles, all were MIGHTY PROUD to have been a part of G. R. C. These deadlines are too much!” exclaims Judy Rednar, P N co-editor. Barb Sichak helps Judy with her problem. Conversation topics — Sectionals, Tonight at Eight,” and Wonderland by Night” — stir speculation in the halls. After unsuccessfully trying to puzzel a path around cranes and water pipes, Clarkites finally “join ’em.” 22
