President JOSEPH I NE CH I RICHELLO Vice-President DOROTH EA CUCCI Secretary JEAN McKEE Treasurer GRACE GIAMPAPA Adviser MRS. JESSIE BURNETT TRI-Y HE Passaic Girls' Tri-Y under the leadership of Mrs. Burnett has been helping the community this year by doing Red Cross work, making afghans and participating in sewing projects. l-lowever, since all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, they do have their fun. Last autumn the Tri-Y held a successful dance. They also spon- sored a spaghetti supper to honor the Passaic l-ligh School football team. This spring the Tri-Y held another dance which was as great a success as the one earlier in the year. The club has also sent three delegates to the Mid-Winter Girl Reserve Conference in Plainfield, which was held on March eighth and ninth. These girls were Jean lnsinna, Catherine Brinley, and Gloria Munsell. During the week of April twentieth to twenty-sixth, the Girl Re- serves all over the nation celebrated their sixtieth anniversary. On Sunday, April twentieth, the Passaic Tri-Y took charge of the Vesper Services at the Y. W. C. A. The week came to a successful close with a birthday party at which some of the Tri-Y girls entertained with a fiesta for which Rose Cardone was responsible. so :FK

MATTHIAS MILLER Adviser President ALEX MANGEL JOHN BELLIN I Vice-President JOHN BELLIN I SPENCER SCHOEM Secretary SPENCER SCHOEM ALBERT F IORI HE Aero Club is the refuge of young, air-minded enthusiasts and future birdmen of America. Here, under Mr. Miller's instruction they eagerly gather to learn how to use the models as a means of studying the art of flying and the physics of the airplane. While the boys are enjoying the task of building, they are also training and disciplining themselves in their chosen field of work. In April the Aero Club sponsored a contest in which three classes of models were flown: the gas model, the glider, and the rubber model. The contest committee was composed of Spencer Schoem, William Stuckey, and John Krehel. The models were made individually and the builders received no expert help, hence, the decision of the judges was based on the craftsman- ship, technique, and performance of the plane. A motion picture was given in order to raise money for the club's treas- ury. Another event of the season was a visit to the Casey Jones School of Aeronautics, which proved to be most inspiring and beneficial to the mem- bers. They witnessed actual classes in ground mechanics and engineering. These activities were all a result of the expert guidance of their adviser and the fine leadership of their officers. AERO CLUB
