N ART SERVICE COMMITTEE Cut-outs of football players, Christmas spires, Hallowe'en spir- its, and outstretched suns ap- peared on the cafeteria wall as the school year passed from one season to another. Strange exhi- bits of flying fish and mobiles decorated the lounge. Through the year we saw the work of the Art Service Committee all around us. Working with cans of gold spray, mammoth shears, and wide expanses of colored paper, the members organized displays and made posters for countless school functions. Mr. Fabry and Mrs. Hall sponsored the committee, while Liz Shera and Sharon Whit- ney were student officers. CERAMICS CLUB Pottery wasn't the only thing that these dexterous lads and losses made from clay. They used their imagination to create forms ranging from statues to iewelry. When their works were displayed, they stimu- lated much interest, even if their symbolism was not always apparent. Guided by Mr. Jacobson, the group enioyed crossing into a new world, that of abstract art, where one's creative sense is one's guide. 7 J J ' ' 1 fn. rw dm' f,N5ffF Left to Right: Pete Dixon, Mr. Fabry, Raquel Garcia, .lo Carol Riggio, Ted Thomp son, Beverly Byrne, Elizabeth Shera, Kaspar Leipins, Dempster Leech, Sharon Whitney, Brooke Maddux, Kathy O'ConnelI. fue' mai I Left to Right: Barbara Rollin, Cynthia Zimkus, Marion Kellam, Carla Jepsen, Ellen Shipman, Bonnie Ward, Elise Boger, Barbara Skinner, Gaye Arakelian, Nancy Blod, Ann Beckman, Peggy Fannon.

DEBATING CLUB Is Labor Too Strong? Should America Have Intervened In Hun- gary C'l956J? Interesting topics such as these were contested in formal debates and occasional informal discussions by this year's debating club. The purpose of the club was to give experience in formal debating procedures, to encourage clear thought and speech, and to help the students think carefully about controver- sial subjects. MATHEMATICS CLUB Under the direction of Mr. Lit- tlefield, this year's semi-active Mathematics Club interested it- self in a variety of topics. Among these were mathematical recrea- tions Cthey spent months trisect- ing angles and designing per- petual motion machinesl, logic fif it is foggy today, Whitey Ford will winj, set theory, and the slide rule.

CONVERSATIONAL FRENCH CLUB The subversive singing of the Marseillaise opened the cIub's informal tete - ei - tetes. This greatly enhanced the al- ready continental atmosphere of room 104. While passing by the door, one could hear rau- cous laughter in response to the records, games, and bons mots of Monsieur Colaninno, the club sponsor. Officers were Mesdemoisel- les Marylin Arthur, President, Ronay Arlt, Vice-President, and Elizabeth Shera, Secre- tary-Treasurer. 70 o ' 'Lewes Left to Right: Judy Naill, Linda Terrana, Elizabeth Luckhurst, Marcia McReynolds, Nancy Brazer, Kenneth Arnott, Donald Lewis, Don Hayden, Eugene Lewis, Bob Bach, Heidi Ormsby.

LIBRARY CLUB Buried under an avalanche of 2,000 new books and a backlog of countless unpaid fines, Miss Lord was rescued by an efficient crew of student librarians. In addition to their regular duties at the circula- tion desk, they aided in pro- cessing and shelving the un- marked volumes. The students who crowded the library this year should appreciate its un- sung heroes. , . --f uw e. jvivf it ,mice gs
