NATURE REVISITED These clubs are mainly concerned with giving the student adventure in the outdoor life and developing their awareness of the natural world around them. If you should ever be walking by the Radio Room you would probably hear H. Hoyt, G. Rob- ertson, T. Nelson, P. Staples, M. Cohen or S. Burkhart communicating with other future ham operators. These students along with their advi- sor, Mr. Griffin, are known as the RADIO CLUB. The ECOLOGY CLUB is made up of several en- vironmentally minded students and advisors. During the course of the year they tried to clean Bliss Park, make a nature trail through the park, help recycling projects, and wrote letters to Rep- resentatives in hope of getting some action on the pollution problem. These students are: C. Havens pres., P. Dorman sec, M. Goldstein treas., K. Dorshimer, L. Butterfield, J. Polastri, M. Shube, L. Odentz, K. Lemnios, J. Gebbie, M. Burns, D. Rodke, L. Ring, S. Twible, and C. War- shaw, The advisors are Mr. Woods and Mr. Blanchard. Developing outdoor skills and using leisure time constructively are the aims of the ROD AND GUN CLUB. The members P. Fuller, W. Fuller, S. Skrabanek, R. Skrabanek, H. Bogert, C. Odentz, J. Krysten and advisor, Mr. Justin, are all in- volved in fishing, hunting, and target shooting.

The club consists of Miss Steele ' s homeroom 13. The club ' s function is to promote unity in the homeroom and to understand the purpose of the pomegranate. The club meets during the homeroom period and its activities included the planting of a pomegranate tree and making recipes using pomegranates. The OUTING CLUB of Longmeadow High School is an active organization sponsoring mountain climbing, bicycling, overnight camp- ing trips and ski outings. According to their advi- sor, Mr. Merritt, the members of the club are the student body of the school . 27
