MAN'S KI GDOM LIGHTLY altering the purpose behind the organization, the Boys' Club of 194748, supervised by a new and energetic adviser, Mr. Larry Lemmel, has left its mark on the student body of Highline. The purpose of the club was changed from that of only an entertainment and social club, to more of a service groupg one that will work for the good of the student bodyg one that will help with school difficulties and problems and not be solely for the good of the boys. School spirit and pride in the school were given a boost when the Boys' Club sponsored several assemblies dealing with many of the problems and sorefspots around the school and campus. These assemblies were discussion programs and were open to comments and advice from the floor. The effects of these meetings were seen in the change of attitudes that resulted. Another assembly conducted by the club was the Hobby Assembly. Any boy who had an unusual or interesting hobby was asked to discuss it at this meeting. There was a wide variety of topics. Beekeeping, photography, chess, and weightflifting were just a few. One of the important events on the calendar was Career Day, which was sponsored jointly by the Girls' and Boys' Clubs. Many employees of various organizations were contacted and asked to speak to the seniors. All types of employments were represented, ranging from the army to nursing and drama. There were three sessions, each lasting fortyfive minutes. The talks proved helpful to many, and because of their success, Career Day will become an annual affair. The elected ollicers of the Boys' Club were: Blaine Gibbs, president, Bob Armstrong, vieefpresidentg Don Olson, secretary, and Don Bonner, treasurer. The representatives were Earl Wig, skipper of the Knights of the Cutlass, Gary Gunder, senior representa' tive, Don Bright and Ralph Naff, who represented the juniors and sophomores respectively,
