Clubs and how they function became one of the chief concerns of the Activity editors. Barbara Stupplc (left) and Grace Ritow. Barbara and Grace found that the Book of Counsel, a book which gives information for assembling a yearbook, was almost as useful as another pair of hands. It guided them in proportioning pictures to the right sizes, and also in giving ideas for new layouts. Upon investigation, the girls were surprised to find that there arc as many as 25 organiza- lions in Highland Park high school, each hav- ing it's own personality. If one has any ques- tions about clubs and doesn’t know the in- formation. ask Barbara and Grace; they be- came well acquainted with all the organiza- tions. . 17 .
