Jefferson, Sophocles, Plato, Thoreau, Machiavelli, and other great works of literature were discussed by the Great Books Club during informal meetings held twice a month in private homes. Answers to questions, interpretation and evaluation were sought. Mr. Joe Rowe, adviser, stated, You don't need to be a brain to belong. The only true learning is self-learning. He also felt it was perhaps the best learning situation many students had ever had. Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Jones, co-leaders of the adult chapter, often participated in the joint discussions by Memorial and Parkwood youths. Mr. Jones explained that The leader is not a teacherg he also is seeking to learn. His role in the discussion is to ask questions. He can't give the answersg that is up to the rest of the group. What was the advantage of membership? One mem- ber answered, There's a fellowship in learning. We come to understand literature better. And since literature is synthesized from the most significant experiences of an author, we gain from his experience by reading what he has to say. We mature. To give youth the opportunity to serve others locally, nationally, and internationally, and to develop skills, leadership, ability, and civic responsibility, were purposes of Junior Red Cross, as stated by Mar- garet Payne, adviser. Two representatives from each home room were elected to serve but early home room periods hindered the growth of Red Cross. Christmas presents for Big Brothers and toys for Vietnamese chil- dren were on the agenda this year. Mrs. Payne felt that lt is a service group and there is hope that it can con- tinue. Some students have forgotten the meaning of the word service.
