Model Airplane Club 1 lie Model Airplane Club has just passed its third year at Mount Vernon. Charlie Wilson was the first president, while Dick Ransopher has served as president for the last two years. Mr. Hatch is the sponsor. We have had flights on every clear club day here at school and in- teresting meetings when the weather is bad. Flying combat was thrilling to watch as well as to take part in. This experience has given us fewer crack-ups. We have purchased several trainers for the less experienced members to practice flying with, as well as other supplies. Meetings on Saturdays and after school drew good participation. The club year was climaxed by a business meeting and a picnic. First row, left to right: Chester Williamson, Dick Ransopher, Presi- dent, Manford Eck. Second row, left to right: John Stover, Gary Smith.

Senior Commercial Club Mrs. Florence Provance. The chief purpose of the Senior Commercial Club is to give students who are majoring in the com- mercial curriculum a more specific knowledge of the various opportunities in the field of business, and to further instruct the student in other phases of busi- ness which are not conducted in a regular classroom. At various meetings throughout the year, guest speakers from employment agencies, business organi- zations, and government offices were invited to visit our club. We took one field trip at which time we visited various business organizations. We also had a Beauty Contest and Fashion Show.
