Clubs of various types have continued to function for the varied interests of the students. 'lleachers have given much time and effort to making them successful. 'liri-Hi-Y and Ili-Y are both excellent examples of this. Miss .lones and Miss Ramsey, advisers of the former, and Mr. Ilerlinger, adviser of the latter, have been responsible for them. Miss Corrin has been kept busy with the leadership of three Theta Ifpsilon Gamma Clubs, while Mrs. Sargent and Miss NIcFall acted as advisers of Art and Language clubs, respectively. The Rifle Club, under the direction of Mr. Shirley, had a most successful year. The Music Clubs, Cheerleaders and Majorettes kept Mrs. Kearney very busy, while Miss Sowash efficiently piloted the Library Aides in their activities. The class advisers, too, helped in furthering activities at Norwin. This entailed their supervision of class activities, dances, etc. Miss Kobasa served as senior adviser, Miss Hershey as junior, Mrs. Schwartz helped the sophomores, and Mr. Shirley served in the same capacity for freshmen. Norwin's faculty members have tried to prepare our youth for the responsibilities which lie ahead. In the near future, when the students of today will assume their duties as citizens of the United States, strong individuals will be needed. Norwin youth, educated by this well trained personnel, will be able to do its part in fitting America into the postwar world of tomorrow. 17 Bnkxici: R.
