What extracurricular activities do the students have? Where is the college located? These are a few of the many questions you might hear if you happen to walk into Room ll during club period. Miss Kelly, as the sponsor of this lively group of seniors, helped members of the club to obtain catalogues from numerous colleges and secure speakers to present the merits of various schools. Everyone benefited by the debates and discussions and all are sold on going to college. Cwmoe PREn 'A i i miie glxxl. ,Nw , M ' ' f r l .' i r '!

LfH'fi'! rflfded Zeal! The Allied Youth, which was recently organized in our school, increases its membership every year. Meetings were held whenever they were needed for business or to plan some social event. Mr. Waterworth spoke to the group, telling about the purpose of the Allied Youth and the social activities of other organizations. All members know they can have a whale of a good time with- out the use of alcoholic beverages. This was made evident when they sponsored the first dance of the year to which no one was admitted without a sniff test. Everyone did have a whale of a good time. The officers for the year were Dan Turner, president, Andy Nesspor, vice president, Nancy Herman, secretary, and Pat Schaffer, treasurer. At a business meeting, John Slavinski was voted delegate to the yearly Allied Youth conven- tion at Buckhill Falls which lasted for three days. ,ral 'v wt' J! 'Ul a
