This year the Redwood Ski Club went on four ski trips, two to Yosemite, one to Echo Summit, and the other to Donner Pass. Membership in this club is attained by pass- ing both a written test and several ski tests on the slopes. Many of the members participated in a preliminary race, the three girls and three boys having the best skiing times were selected to repre- sent Redwood in the Marin County junior Championship Races, sponsored by the San Rafael Sport Shop. The annual race this year was held at Heavenly Valley. Perhaps the most significant highlight of the year was the Red- wood Invitational U.L.L.R. This invitational race was put on by the members of the Redwood Ski Club. Many schools from all over the Bay Area participated and trophies were awarded to the three best skiers. A memorable dance this year was held by the Ski Club. It was highlighted by Howey Segerson-winner of the jazz Festival. J. Rodrigo served as president of the group. County Red Cross Organization. The enthusiastic members brought distinction to themselves and to the school by serving throughout the county. The girls did volunteer work at five Marin County hospitals, helping crippled children, the mentally retarded, and older people. This earned them the title of junior Gray Ladies. At their weekly meetings speakers were invited to talk on First- Aid courses and the care of the sick and injured. Courses were also offered in water safety aid. The club's activities included the preparation of an album of student activities at Redwood. Through the International Red Cross this was presented to a student club in a foreign school and they received a similar album in return. President Pam Dana, Vice President Toni Banducci, and Secre- tary Helen Hartig, together with the officers from other clubs, com- posed the Marin County Council. This Council promoted an Inter- national dinner at which all exchange students in Marin County were honored guests. Council activities also included a Christmas party at the Sonoma State Hospital. Under the leadership of the officers, the local club lived up to its motto: Action! Mrs. Penny Nelson served as advisor for the club. ROW ONE: N. Ronneberg, D. Jenkinson, C. Grant, M. Weed, H.

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.

S ' C54-5 lf-5 fl44i41m-14 Desirous to increase their understanding of the newest advances on the subject of their chosen study, the Science Club met to dis- cuss several pressing modern-day scientific problems. The purpose of the club was to promote original investigation in all the branches of science. Assisted by their advisor, Miss jane Adams, the mem- bers sought to educate themseves by learning new facts in the field in which they have proved themselves to be interested. Noon meet- ings were held whenever the members desired to get together. The program usually consisted of the presentation of a paper on some chemical problem by one of the faculty or members. A discussion then took place at which time the problem was solved. Movies were shown dealing with all forms of science. Demon- strations with radioactive materials were performed by students. Ofhcers who led the group were jon Katz, presidentg Terry Cham- bers, vice-presidentg and Bill Blackmore, secretary. Field trips were taken to places where the laws of science are illustrated. The members gained more insight by touring industrial laboratories and college laboratories such as those at the University of California at Berkeley. The active members were given a chance to display their knowl- edge in the form of exhibits at the Marin County Science Fair held in the month of March. Here students entered projects dealing in biological sciences, physiological sciences and mathematics. G. Cole, D. Zuern, L. Haines, M. Morse. f - . ...v,..,.,,,,..,,,.. - --'N The students who worked as lab assistants this past year at Red- wood were interested in science and intended to continue their studies in this field. They assisted the teachers in the science depart- ment with the work of setting up experiments and arranging dem- onstrations. The lab assistants also prepared the chemicals and equipment used in class experiments. They cleaned the lab equip- ment, often assisted with the preparation of special instruction in science courses, and helped in the correcting of written assign- ments. This course was considered college preparatory as it familiarized the students with laboratory equipment and procedure. If they in- tended to continue their work in science, they were better prepared to meet the demands of college science courses. 'wi -f a-5. -Q47 il? 1 iii? ,w
