R- Q It was second period in thelmorning, time for R-C to take art students and more homernakers to Coeyrnans Iigh School. This was the lirst year for an art department, and R-C kept himself busy taking Miss Beerman to all the schools in the district. While R-C caught his breath for the jaunt back, waiting students glanced at the activities bulletin board. The BACHELORS CLUB, which met every Thursday, was composed of free- lancing ninth grade males who preferred the masculine touch in cooking. Here they learned to follow recipes ancl measure ingredients under the guidance of Miss Ricketson. However, the reward! of their labors came when they dug into the mouth-watering food. These bachelors went further and learned the art of har- monizing colors and neatness of dress which earned them the nod of approval from i the fairer sex. - In this push-button era, when bread baking, butter making, and hand launder- ing are passe, girls had time to dlelve in art crafts. In Mr. Roneyis CRAFTS CLUB the ninth grade girls discovered Linsuspected abilities as they explored the fields of ceramics, woodworking, plastic, art metal work and leathercraft. Their collection of wall clocks, Hgurines, corner shelves, candy dishes, jewelry, ash trays, pocketbooks and belts had the boys admitting, :among themselves, that women were here to stay. I STUDENT COUNCIL, the governing body of the school, had charge of student traffic regulations, selection of student guides and all school assemblies.

The officers were: President, Robert Riccardo, secretary, Arlene Raynorg treasurer, Florence McClintock, and sponsor, Mrs. Lawson. ' No Einsteins nor Burbanks yet, bpt a chance to unfold the wonders of botany, physics, chemistry or earth sciences at the SCIENCE CLUB meetings chair'd by Richard Lewis and recorded by Robert Guyot. The cultivation of underwater chemical gardens and the construction of small electric motors running on a twelve volt circuit sent many a member browsing through books, plying Mr. Brayden with questions and abandoning one idea for a better one. The club spent a day at the Science Congress in Albany where they exhibited their own individual projects. In October, Mrs. Dobson announced, 'LJUNIOR CHORUS tryouts activity period this weekf, The anxiety and hope of the applicants during this trial changed to relief and happiness for those who made the grade. Practice and more practice was the order of the day for each Monday's vocalizing which prepared them for the Christmas Pageant. Then, more of the same hard work effected the poise, expression and quality of tone evidenced at the Easter Assembly program and the Spring Festival.
