THESE .A-IFtE THE PEOPLE 22 Jeanne Kleiiman, an active sen- ior, shares in the responsibility of G. O. in the capacity of Vice President. Pictured here is Don Clody-, able president of our General Or- ganization. GENERAL ORGANIZATION Our General Organization has worked hard to accomplish so much for our school. This year’s President, Don Clody, an able and conscien- tious worker, has been piloting the organization. Jeanie Kleitman as Vice-President, Judy Jacobson as Secretary, and Bob Mogelevsky as Treasurer have been Don’s co-leaders. The G.O. has many committees, each one having a spe- cific job. The Scholarship Committee with Don Clody as chairman has set its goal at one thousand dollars to be given as a scholarship to a w'orthy member of the G.O. To raise this money the G.O. has sold Forty-nine star” flags and has also collected money from the juke box. The Budget and Finance Committee headed by Dennis Dennerlien dis- cussed and granted loans to chartered clubs of the G.O., while the Recreation Committee with its Co-chairman, Jeanne Slingo and A1 Christianson, has planned the recreational activities for the whole year. The Charter Committee, whose Chairman is Bob Kennedy, has discussed and given charters to various committees and clubs in the school. The student body greatly appreciated all of the ac- complishments of the General Organization, especially the purchase of the juke box and the changing of the times of the late bus to allow for extra-curricular activities. Mr. Hamm, adviser of the G.O., has combined his time and efforts to all of its activities. Writing the minutes is just a part of the responsibility given to the G. O. Secretary, Judy Jacobsen. The Treasurer, Dave Mogillef- sky, is one of the few juniors who has held an executive posi- tion in the G.O.

WE TFL nsr EST THE CLASSROOM Marge Mattewson, Allen Ringland and Barry Hasson become more acquainted with our geography by the use of textbooks and the wall map. This is Mr. Foster's eleventh grade citizen- ship education class. CLASSROOMS In the classroom the individual learns the value of knowledge and its use in the world. The important part of the course is not’ the specific subject being studied, but rather the many matters affected by the subject. The indi- vidual, therefore, must be given a broad background and must be convinced to seek the truth in all that he learns. A competent, devoted teacher—one who is a teacher every moment of every day—is needed to fill the needs of each person in the class. To convey his knowledge the teacher must guide the class by his interesting approach. In co-curricular activities the teacher does not dominate; he advises. The students who formulate the class have an opportunity for organized study. Here they find the prac- tical application for the work they learn in class. For those who have chosen their life’s work, this is their chance for research as well as an opportunity for securing a good back- ground in their particular field. These students take their knowledge into the classroom and the cycle begins again. 24 Upon looking at this picture, one wonders whether it be Julius Caesar, The Scarlet Letter, or My Antonia, that holds so much interest for these students of Mr. Blinderman’s third year English class.
