A group of students, boarders in Middletown, headed by Dick Mills, conceived the idea of forming an organization to carry out these plans. BOARDERS CLUB The Boarders Club became a reality in December of 1957 when the constitution was approved by the Student Senate. The first president of the club, Jack Reuter, resigned and was succeeded by John Fanatico who also resigned. The original officers were: John Fanatico, vice-president; Ellen Lindeborg, secretary; and Sal Rizzo, treasurer. The officers for this semester who are leading the club toward its goal are: Doug Neyer, president; Sal Rizzo, vice-president; Grace Greaves, secretary; and Dick McGill, treasurer. 51
