Eaagllfzl U This year a club was formed that combines all of Redwood's diversified talent in the field of English, It enables those interested in most types of lit- erature to join others with similar interests. These seniors met at the beginning of the year under the direction of Mr. Wadlington, Miss Young, Mr. Davis, and Miss Ballard. They divided up intg four groups according to the field type of literature they would like to stu y. Those interested in reading plays and analyzing them started the Drama section of the English Club. They have chosen Raisin in the Sun., J.B., and numerous other famous and popular plays to discuss and to View on the stage in San Francisco. There was a poetry group that read and discussed the great poets, their works, and their meaning. They have made many excursions to hear poets, such as Carl Sandburg and Robert Frost, read their own poems and discuss them with the audience. Reading great books, classics, and many contemporary novels is the func- tion of the Great Books section of the English Club. The group that actually writes its own poems, compositions, and prose is the Creative Writing group, Everyone writes and has the Club members criticise and analyze, These people also head Orpheus, Redwood's literary magazine. Giving students the chance to meet and speak with others that share their interests and going to see and hear well-known people and their works has opened up many doors to those who are sincerely interested in the literary arts. Mall OEM Newly iormecl this past year, the Redwood Math Club was led by its president, Butch Brear. The club's purpose was to further its members' abil- ity in the understanding of mathematics, Every other Thursday noon the Math Club met to discuss and solve problems of interest to the members. Bron Hughes served as secretary and Tom Farley acted as the chairman of programs and problems. It was the duty of this chairman to plan and pre- pare problems to present before the group, Various other students also helped in bringing problems before the group for discussion. Under the guidance of the club advisor, Mr. Harold Anderson, students attempted to disprove mathe- matical paradoxes and to solve other problems of an advanced nature. In addition to working mathematical problems, the Math Club sponsored students who wished to participate in the local Science Fairs. It was the hope of the Math Club, when it was formed, that it would be able to assist in forming similar clubs in the nearby high schools. Iflthis was done the clubs would be able to send teams to inter-school competition to engage in problem solving. ' ' The club plans to enlarge its activities in the years to come in order to in- clude the interests of a number of students. ROW ONE: N. Griffith, T. Farley, N. Nininger, B. Hughes. ROW TWO: P.

Redwoodites were more conscious of foreign affairs and had a better understanding of students in other lands as a result of the efforts of the School Affiliation Service. the Experi- ment in International Living, and the American Field Service. The School Affiliation Service is a newly ordained exchange program at Redwood. Dur- ing the past year, Redwood and Volksoberchule Preetz, Redwoods affiliate school in Ger- many through this program, have exchanged written and pictorial material offering com- parisons of the curriculum, students, and faculty. Several Redwood Seniors travel abroad each summer sponsored by the Experiment in In- ternational living. They live for one month with a family, then they tour abroad another month with Experimentersy' from other places and sometimes with members of their for- eign families. The American Field Service has several exchange programs. Students may live abroad with a family for the summer between their junior and Senior years, or they may attend a foreign school for one or both semesters of their Senior year. Students from foreign na- tions may come to the United States for a year of schooling as Jacqueline Marterer and Charles Katungi have done. Foreign diplomatic relations are becoming strained as time passes. The goal of all the ex- change programs is one: to ease world tensions through better understanding. Redwoodites can be proud of the part they are playing in achieving this goal. I I Arrwederrz ROXV ONE: D. Wilkins, M. Decdy, S. Scott. ROW TWO: T. Galli, A. Herman, J. Levensaler. fv- nm Q7 'C 3' XL!

Spain. gmiaf-vw C50-5 In 1961 and in the years to come, business will advance. It will present new ideas leading to the development of new fields of business that will be offered to ambitious young men and women. Led by the club's president, Gloria Giddings, the members of the Business Club gained knowl- edge of ideas and new fields and how they will benefit from them in future years. Led by the experienced hand of one of Redwood's busi- ness teachers, Miss Rita Morrison, such activities as field trips and professional speakers are presented to the group so that they might gain further knowledge of the subject. By observing various business organizations and how they operate and sharing the speaker's knowledge in business affairs, each member is drawn one step closer to business and its functions. Working with the school, the business club offers to do a wide variety of clerical Work for the administration. Not only are the members gaining experience for themselves, but they are performing a duty for the staff which will aid them to gain success in the future. Cmalew Wafvlwm A thousand feet stomping out an individual beat, an alien index finger probing within your inner ear, milk flow- ing freely among imprisoned toes-the crush of humanity pushed ever onward in quest of the vigilant operators of the Redwood Canteen. The stimulating aromas of sizzling cheese and smoking chili aroused the hunger and persistencies of the hunger- conscious Redwoodites at both the break and at noon. The supply of tempting tid-bits never seemed to run low and even Lardy Lucy could purchase her Metrecal. Comforted with the insistent orders of the mob the can- teen workers reacted efficiently and quickly to meet the de- mands of all the prospective customers. The senior window catered to all seniors claiming priority and willing to take the risk of having a shirt torn off by an admiring freshman in quest of Today's Special, peanut butter sandwiches. D.
