If this is an indication as to future varsity strength, Morton will have a formidable track team. BOYS M CLUB . . . The Boys M Club is open to all ath- letes who have earned a major letter in any one of the many sports which Morton has to offer. The club carried on many activities this year, one of which was selling a football yearbook containing the names, positions, and some in- formation about each senior on the football team. Another new proiect was selling foam rubber cushion pillows at the basketball games. Members of the M Club sponsored this year's valentine dance, Magic Moments. Highlighting the affair was the crowning of a queen, Lois Hanzel, selected by the members from a bevy of beautiful candidates. Other events planned and sponsored by the M Club are M assemblies at which all athletic awards are pre- sented and an annual play- night open to all classes. They also are responsible for selling programs at basketball games, the proceeds of which go to finance the club's other activi- ties during the year. Art Simi was the President this year,
