TEN PIN BO WLING CL UB DUCK PIN BOWLING CLUB Whittier has both a ten-pin and a duck-pin bowling club with approximately one hundred members. The ten pin club is affiliated with the American Junior Bowling Congress which means that patches are distributed for special types of games and for the ’’Bowler of the Week.” At the end of the season, there is a party at which trophies are given to the top three teams and to the boy and girl with the highest series, highest average, highest game, and the most improved bowler. Thursday is bowling day and the season extends from October until April. Many thanks go to this year’s sponsors Miss Brown, Mrs. Bailey, Mrs. Peters, Mr. Jarman, Mr. Phillips, Mrs. Walthall, and Mrs. McCabe 45

Fifty state flags and twelve continental flags were hung in the corridors, green plants were placed in the halls and cafeteria, new curtains replaced the old ones in the cafeteria, a new menu bulletin board was placed in the cafeteria, a directory and a calendar bulletin board were hung in the main corridor. A successful walk for mankind was held in October, along with a suc¬ cessful magazine drive in February. The SCA participated in assembly programs, 6th grade orientation programs, ESL guides and sponsored several successful dances. This year Whittier has developed a drama club designed for eighth grade students only. The stu¬ dents have elected to put all of their effort into one dramatic production. The Kaufman and Hart comedy, Once in a Lifetime, under the direc¬ tion of Mrs. Mazzei, is scheduled to be presented at the end of the school year. The club members will experience the joys, headaches and excitement involved in presenting a play of this magnitude. It is hoped that each of the students will enjoy their participation in this theatrical endeavor. FIRST ROW: S. Conner, D. Nagle, D. Amoroso, B. Snyder, S. Webster, R. Williams, A. Adenan, L.
