Lettermen, Wheels Set Service Records Northwood's N Club included all boys who had earned letters through participation in athletic events. Especially active this year, it began by co-sponsoring the homecoming events and the annual faculty-senior basketball game. In the spring, area teams were invited to North- woodis Invitational Track Meet. N Club members publicized the meet and acted as judges. To build their treasury, members processed and sold programs at all home athletic events. Coaches and athletes were honored at the annual banquet sponsored by the N Club. Completing the year with community service, the lettermen worked with the Montgomery County Recreation Department to help insure the suc- cess ofthe Junior Olympics for county youth. On alternating Wednesday nights boys recognized as outstanding school leaders met and planned Wheel Club activities. Always ready to usher at any school program and aid other organization in charity drives, the club kept Northwoodis school sign up to date publicizing all school events. Serving the community and the nation, members helped prepare a summer camp for underprivileged children. In addition, mem- bers collected money, clothing and toys for the Heart Fund, the 'iSave the Childrenf, and Christmas drives. WHEEL CLUB-Fronf Row: B. Serber,J Hesson, Secretaryp C.
