Under the leadership of Advisor Coach Ahlf and Presi- dent Larry Shaw, this year's club raised funds to buy warmup jackets for the football team, made trips to major sports events in Los Angeles such as the USC-Califor nia game and the Pro Bowl classic and staged that roaring highlight of the social season, the Lettermen's Dance. Special honor is due Nordh0ff's three-year lettermen: Larry Shaw, Allen Sullivan, john Dawn, Dick Fegenbush, Hatrry Hunt and Harold Bangs. President Larry Shaw, Vice President Ronnie Fitzgerald and Secretary-Treasurer john Dawn were the club officers who, among other things, led a powerful drive to keep the Nordhoff cam- pus clean despite the vigorous opposition of snacktime trash artists.
