Sheppard, With an eye toward the future of Redwood, Rho Gamma Sigma, the Junior-Senior girls' service club, devoted most of its time in aiding our school. During the past three years Rho Gamma Sigma has served Redwood in many ways, some of which have been assisting with clothes collections and with the American Field Service car show. Besides helping with other school activities, Rho Gamma Sigma has had projects of its own. The first this year was a cupcake sale during January of 1961. The proceeds from this sale were used in service projects throughout the year. A 'tBig Sister plan was the first of Rho Gamma Signia's service projects this year. The Big Sister plan was one in which members of Rho Gamma Sigma helped new students become better acquainted with Redwood and with the students at Redwood, Another activity this year was to make scrolls bearing the names of the Redwood students who have earned life membership in either the Cali- fornia Scholastic Federation or in the Redwood Honor Society, These scrolls have been displayed in the trophy case in the entrance hall of Redwood. Rho Gamma Sigma hopes to enlarge its activities as time goes on in order to benefit the school more. Library was offered as a regular course of study at Redwood. Those stu- dents who participated in this program must have had special recommenda- tions from counselors and teachers. Those who were interested in going into library work were encouraged to take this course. It was also excellent prep- aration for college and post-graduate work. as it familiarized the students with the way in which a library was organized. The students learned how to use the library quickly and efiiciently, and how to locate specific materials with dispatch under the direction of Miss Niateer, the Redwood librarian. This speeded up the service in the library and made it possible for the library to offer more books and references to the students. Besides having a regular class, the assistants met once a week at noon to be instructed in library procedure. These students were then able to help at the circulation desk. with shelving books, obtaining references, and processing books for circulation. The library assistants received a grade and full credit for this course. The students participating in this course were encouraged to broaden their personal reading interests and to be of service to others, Because of these student assistants, the Redwood library was able to provide better service to the student body. bvvv' E wa, pu. rr 1'-7 'refr- 17 ,so 'bf wev- 464447 Szwlwt du' ROW ONE: J.

WW Many hours of prlctice were spent in polishing the presentations of the A Capella Choir. The audience was hushed, as seldom it is at an assembly. Suddenly the silence was ended by a burst of applause as the choir of voices faded into the last notes of the fmal program one evening this spring. In addition, enthusiastic responses to the per- formances of the A Capella Choir, under the direction of Mr. Arthur Wigell, at concerts and programs continued throughout the year. Highlighting the year, the group presented a Christmas performance for the Red- wood Student Body. The choir was enjoyed by its audience. Another Christmas program was the musical medley over the radio station KTIM. This musical broad- cast Was also taped and sent to a school in Germany, All in all, the busy choir was able to give four Christmas concerts in one week. Activities were concluded with a traditional performance at the graduation exercises. A prelude to the A Capella Choir is Beginning Choir, which meets every fifth period, also under the direction of Mr. Arthur Wigell. The annual Spring Concert was highlighted this year with the participation of Beginning Choir. After a semester, those qualified for A Capella Choir immediately became members. The Beginning Choir practiced for their part in the Annual Spring Concert.

V6 ' Loummeaa , The purpose of the Varsity and Junior Lettermen Clubs was to support athletic events and spirit among the student body. Membership in the former organizations was limited to those students holding varsity letters in any sport, while membership in the latter was open to students holding any other letters in sports. Initiations were held at the end of each season. All members were required to wear their let- terman sweaters on game days and were also required to act in a dignified and proper manner when representing the school. President of the Varsity Club this year was Mike Hoffman, Vice President was Mike Alessio, Secretary-Treas- urer was Butch Brear, and Sergeant-at-Arms were Ned Grif- fith and Mike Walsh. Jim Troppman served as president for J. Ldleamau Civ! the newly formed Junior Letterman Club. The Lettermen assisted self-government in keeping order at athletic events and rallies. They also ran the canteens at Kentfield during football games. One of their more pleasant duties was meeting the opposing teams when they came to Redwood and showing them around the campus. The Var- sity Letterman Club also sponsored a num er of special events including: an annual Lettermen Rally, an annual picnic, several annual dinners honoring the teams and the players, and the donkey basketball game. This last was a fund-raising event. This year the club made over S5200 which was then contributed to the Redwood Benchwarmers Asso- ciation and used to help pay for the team banquets. ROW ONE: A.
