BOWLING CLUB Are you a devotee of one of the fastest growing sports in America? Well, over thirty-five Van Buren seniors are. They're members of the Early Session Bowling Club, which meets every Wednesday, at the Utopia Bowling Lanes. The club, under the guidance of Miss Wetterau, aims to give every girl a good time and to improve her bowling skill. To this aim, trophies are awarded at the end of the season for Highest Average, High Series, Best Player, and Most Improved Player. The success of this method of individual competition is upheld by the terrific increase in membership. The club meets for fifteen weeks, giving each girl an opportunity to improve at her own rate. While the required meetings are only ten, most girls prefer to keep bowling for the full season. There is a bowling club for early session every term, so ioin up- you'll be glad you did. ioin one of the many invigorating sports clubs. To Every Fall, the girls of Van Buren are invited to receive great benefit from exercise, fresh air, and fun, the Field Hockey Club, under the direction of Miss Theresa Rizzitiello, invites you to ioin the swell- ing membership.

GENERAL ORGANIZATION KENNEDY JV' .., xx rn NEEDS Some schools call it the Student Union, others refer to it as the School Council, or the Student Assembly. Yet students here at Van Buren know it by a different name. While traces of it are found all around the school, it is housed in a modest little office located in the basement, numbered CB56. As one enters he is confronted with a sign which reads Through these portals pass Van Buren's best. This can be taken quite seriously, since at one time or another, all of the student leaders of the school have had reason to enter this room. Have you ever been in there? The Fall term saw Jerry Haber as President, Bob Mandel as Vice- President, Joyce Nelson as Secretary, and Jerry Wakefield as Treas- urer. A new constitution was presented and ratified under this administration which also created a Season Basketball Pass, the Law and Psychology clubs, and held a free dance, A Night at the Sands. This term the officers are Harold Lynn, President, Lynn Freeman, Vice-President, Pam Brick, Secretary, and Don Zolin, Treasurer. Many exciting events are planned including a Faculty-Student Sports Nite and the annual talent show, lts advisers are Mr. l. Widaen and Mr. A. Radwin, two teachers to whom countless students owe a large debt of gratitude. Without their help very little could be accomplished. Let other schools call it what they will, in Van Buren it is known as the General Organization, your General Organization. Q. l l It
