tudent Bank Develops Lasting Saving Habits STUDENT BANKERS Money, money everywhere, but not a dime to spend. Its all in the MC H S Student Bank, where, during its first year of operation, many students started their senior fund. The bank, under the supervision of the Mount Clemens Savings Bank, is open from 8:00 to 8:30 A.M. on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of each week, and is run like a regular savings bank. Every six months interest is paid to the depositors who have put 25 dollars or more into the bank and have let it remain there for the entire interest period. Staff membership is strictly on a voluntary basis. Members meet regularly on the first Tuesday of each month to learn better banking methods and discuss ideas for the promotion of the bank. Staff activities included a special evening meet- ing that was highlighted by a banking film and social recreation. On another occasion the staff members toured the Mount Clemens Savings Bank and were shown modern banking machines. Nancy Kerner, Arlene Harder and Wilbur McReynolds won't lack for funds if they leave their money in the official M.C.H.S. bank. Sally Kuchenmeister, teller, records the amounts in their pass books. One of the rewards for being a member of the banking staff is the party which the Bankers hold. Here, enioying such a party, are Margie Brunke, Helen Raptis and Sharon Klockow.

The cry of the director rings loud and clear, but Masque and Wig Club members know that the actors alone do not make a successful production. The club members put on one act plays to help them understand the production and direction of such a program. Each person's participation in the program enlarges his knowledge of the problems of the very basic phases of the stage. Also, the members acquaint themselves with the make-up and scenery aspects of the theater. At make-up sessions members experimented with many types of grease paint. Members who are interested in acting get their chance to develop their talents by taking part in the club's productions. They each receive help and gain personal satisfaction whether their part is large or small. The chance to attend a Broadway production in Detroit is the culmination of the year's activities. 0' SGH, W , , A ,X g Enioying the plush seats of the theater as they watched the Cinerama production, members le e'55'n9ef X Y of the Masque 8- Wig Club anticipated the addition to their program, a tour behind the scenes to find out how Cinerama works. 108
