ART CLUB One of the newest additions to Pleasantville's extra-curricular program is the Art Club. Mr. Na- zaruk, the faculty adviser, feels that many creative students are unaware of their talent, he hopes that the Art Club will encourage these people who have talent in this field. Many stimulating afternoons have been spent by the club's members. The results of these hours can be seen in various art contests throughout the county. Under the leadership of President Jeanette Micoleau, several guest speakers have been invited to lecture during the year. CHESS CLUB The Pleasantville Chess Club, formed only three years ago to prove that chess is not really dif- ficult, and not a boring or antisocial game, is cer- tainly fulfilling its purpose. Members, through diligent study and much practice, have improved their skill. The faculty adviser is Mrs. Lomont. This year, plans were made for inter-school chess meets. Officers were President Dennis Lambert, Vice-President Cwen Rivers, Secretary David Wash- burn, and Treasurer Kent Lanini. COMMERCIAL CLUB The Commercial Club is made up of students particularly interested in the varying activities of business. Miss Nulty is the faculty adviser. The Commercial Club's purposes are to acquaint stu- dents with the various phases of business, to observe business by taking field trips, and to act as a service club for teachers.
