It began with seven members. There are now sixteen regularly active members. The current of- ficers are: Robert Hauptman, President, David Forster, Vice-President, Carlos Lo- well, Secretary, Robert Cunningham, Treasurer, Charles Tirone, Sergeant-at- Arms -the last, a new position this year. This year the Club made some changes in its ways of helping the students. ln- stead of specializing in the presentation of several Guidance Assemblies during the year, the group decided to divide it- self into several committees:Guidance of- fice, Bulletin Board, Films and Publicity. This provided more specialized ways of assisting students with their Guidance Problems. On November l9th, the Club put on one assembly at which Police Commis- sioner Frank N. Felicetta spoke on the working of the Court system. The assem- bly also featured a film entitled Fitness for Leadership. Future plans include a Career Night, another assembly and possibly some pro- grams. The Club hopes to expand in the future its services for providing students with supplementary Guidance help.

All comebacks are pain- ful and difficulT buT ThaT of a singing group especially so. Some groups usually develop Their skill Through The long as- sociaTion of The members' voices and The naTural uniTy ThaT re-sulTs. An organi- zaTion comprised of boys in The high school age groups has The added diffi- culTy of changing voices. ln spiTe of These handicaps The Chorus made a delighful conTribuTion To The spec- ial ChrisTmas program and hopes To be heard aT Open House This Spring. AT The ChrisTmas program Marvin AlsTon made a very effecTive soloist. A smaller group selected from The Chorus perform- ed for The Spring Valley VarieTy Show and will also be heard aT The Jaycees' Parade of Bands. inald Garland The Chorus looks forward To an ex panded program and inTeresTed parTici paTion nexT year.

Those who remember last spring's staging of one scene from a contemporary play in a modern setting know how our Thespians rise to the occasion. As its Christmas contribution, the Club did anoriginal presentation complete with settings and costumes which showed the various customs America has adopted from other countries for its own Christ- mas celebration. The presentation was accompanied by appropriate readings. Future plans call for the production next fall of a full length play Brother Orchid. Preliminary casting indicates our young actors will take full advantage of some choice roles. The Club is geared to early, enthusia- stic work on such necessary equipment as costumes and scenery. lt is sure that its public, the McKinley student body, will respond to its efforts.
