ART CLUB President ....... Phyllis Oman Vice-President . , Marcia Williams Secretary and Treasurer . . Eleanor Czapiga Adviser ....... Ethel Beatty The art club was formed so that those students who had in common an interest in art, might know each other. And as the school offers no training in this fieldg it gives those students the chance to benefit by each others help and advice. The meetings follow no pattern. The members bring to the meetings draw- ings and paintings upon which they want to work or drawings and paint- ings which they have completed pre- viously so that they might compare them with those of other members. The art club has made many posters for the library and for various school activities. Members of this club are encouraged to enter any outside con- tests in art. THE AERO CLUB President ....... Grant Ehret Vice-President ..... john Kesead Secretary and Treasurer . Milton Shapanka Adviser ..... Howard Engelhardt The Aero Club was formed by a group of pupils in this school to fur- ther their knowledge of aviation. The club members' interest lies in model aircraft. In this way we can cover more phases of aviation and learn about many different types of planes. Model aircraft have a distinct advan- tage over real planes in many ways, as far as we are concerned. They are inexpensive and easy to construct, hav- ing construction similar to real planesg they prove very instructive to members who have not been following this hob- by for a long period. The club plans several of these contests in the near future. Another phase of aviation that we are interested in, is the real planes and how they work.
