Spotlight One of the school's most active and important organizations in the John Greer Spotlight. Published every three weeks, the Spotlight brings the news of J. G. H. S. to the students. Staff members are: Editor in Chief, Barbara Nelson, News Editor, Dorene Kaufman, Feature Editor, Shirley Ray, Sports Editor, Tom Knox, Circulation and Exchange, Nita Bell, Cartoons, Pat Siler, Secretary, Nita Smith, and Spon- sor, Mr. Lenze. Dusty Book Club John Greer High has another club. It was formed by the student librarians for all J. G. students who read and love books. The first thing we did was to set up a constitution committee, consisting of Nancy Sheffield, Bill Perkins, and Pat Bush. On November 17, we adopted the constitution, and 9 of us young bookworms signed it to make it legal. The next step was to elect our officers and choose a name. Our officers were: Nancy Sheffield, president; Pat Siler, vice-president; Janet Brougher, secretary; and Pat Bush, treasurer. We chose Dusty Book Club for a name. Then, as an organization, we joined the Stu- dent Librarians of East Central Illinois. We sent Nancy Sheffield as delegate to the Executive Council Meeting at Oakwood, accompanied by Pat Bush and Mr. Lenze. On March 26, nine of us went to the annual convention of the Stu- dent Librarians of East Central Illinois at Paxton. Our vice president, Pat Siler, was chosen recording secretary of this organization. J. G. will be host to the Executive Council next fall. FRALEY’S MARKET NELSON’S HARDWARE DR. MOORE 19

Letha Matthews Betty Boren Lela Matthews Cheerleaders. Come on you kids let's really yell, was the familiar saying heard through- out the year at all the basketball and football games. All three of the cheerleaders, Betty Boren, Letha Mathews, and Lela Mathews were seniors this year. After cheering camp, and help from Miss Winland the girls really did a fine job. Let's give these girls a cheer, and wish them the very best of luck.
