National Commended Merit Scholars: W. Rudzinski, T. Whiteside, J. Kruczek, K. Peterson, M. Duhon. Are Bestowed On Clark Scholars Each year awards based on scholarship and citizenship are presented by local chapters of clubs to outstanding students. The Daughters of the American Revolution Good Citizenship Award was presented to the senior girl who possessed the qualities of leadership, citizenship, de¬ pendability, service, and patriotism. The Hammond Rotary Club, an organization composed of teachers and businessmen, honored several outstanding senior boys. These Junior Rotarians were selected on the basis of scholarship to represent Clark at the Rotary Club’s weekly luncheon meetings. The purpose of this great privilege was to prepare these future leaders for their role in our community. Students who scored highly on the National Merit Scholarship Test received commended Scholar awards at a dinner given by the Bell Telephone Company. This year Clark had five such students. Helen Stecy was the 1967 recipient of the DAR award. Junior Rotarians, First Row: J. Mecklin, J. Kruczek. Second Row: K. Dudzik, R. Weiner. Third Row: J. Piskorowski, J. Milligan. Fourth Row: L.

mmm ■ Is Splashed With Shakespearean Hues Students use the vocabulary increasing aud-ex machine. Tom Zato loads a gun for his demonstration speech. Shakespeare’s hues, shades of Frost, and glitters of Mark Twain colored a canvas of English literature for 1966- 67. While reading romanticism to contemporary litera¬ ture, students also brushed up on English grammar and usage. Advanced Composition students pictured themselves in Greece while reading the plight of Oedi¬ pus Rex They then journeyed to the Globe Theatre to study the tragedy of Hamlet. Junior literature classes found themselves atop Moby Dick, while the sophomore literature classes glanced at a picture of ancient Rome through the play Julius Caesar. Medieval shades of Ivanhoe splashed through the minds of frosh literature students. Poetry, short stories, novels, and essays added the finishing touches to a picture of literature. Speech and debate classes, two combining pastels pro¬ vided a glimpse of new confidence. Demonstration, in¬ formative, and ice-breaker speeches were presented in speech class. Topics on world affairs flashed by debaters. Cathy Bajda acts out a scene for her final in drama class.
