BLOCK M BUYS MOVIE CAMERA FOR SCHOOL Mr. William Rogers Adviser The Block M began the school year with the purchase of a movie camera, which allowed the school to record sports events for study by coaches and teams. The society raised money to pay for the camera and film and finance its other activi ties by selling football programs, by operating concessions at home games, and by sponsoring school dances in November d April The Valhal Queen's Ball said Mr William Rogers, because of the combined efforts of all the society members on . , . was a great success. Diane Apons, Homecoming Queen, reigned at the dance with her attendants, Sarah Chandler and Janice Hodapp fsee page 721. Isl- At the Block M spring picnic, block winners of the spring sports were presented with their letters. The event will long be remembered, said Coach Ellis, because of the deliciously barbecued steaks and also because of the memories which were brought back when the school's letter winners shared the sports experiences of the whole year. The first several meetings were primarily for reorganization of society rules, for ac- quainting of new members with the society, and for the election of officers. Don Cadman was elected president, Jack Levar, vice- president, Dean Arthur, secretary-treasurer, and Bill Reinking, sergeant-at-arms.
