It was designed to be merely recreational and relaxing. There were about 25 regular mem- bers. Mr. Bob Bachelder was the club's advisor. The President of the Chess Club was Ed Sever- inghaus, Jeff Hewitt was Vice-President, and Nick Suntzeff was the Secretary-Treasurer. Anyone was welcome to come to the Chess Club-no matter how little they knew about the game. There was always someone willing to teach. A Saturday night in November witnessed the first endeavor of the newly organized Red- wood High School Film Club. Beginning with Fail Safe , they continued to show films throughout the year. The profits went towards film equipment for the English Department. The climax of the club's activities was the Film Festival in which students and faculty competed for prizes. The club was headed by President, Susan Pease and its advisors, Mr. T Harry Davis, Miss Mary Donavan and Miss Elaine Young. Throughout the year the Stamp Club met twice a month to trade stamps, hold stamp auctions, and to discuss stamp trends and in- novations. The club also had its annual trip to WESTPEX, the Western Philatelic Exhibition, at the Jack Tar Hotel in San Francisco. The club also held a stamp dance for the sixth year in a row where Senior Sharon Ven- atta was crowned Miss First Day Cover. Sharon Venatta, Miss First Day Cover , and her court.

Redwood's Math Club met Wednesday after- noon of each week. Members enjoyed various games, films, and time problems. Several pot- luck dinners were held during the year to which guest speakers were invited. Senior Gunnar Carlsson was President. Advisors were Mr. Lyle Fisher and Mr. William Medigovich. The highlight of the year was the Fourth An- nual Math Conference on March fifteenth. The conference was again hosted by Redwood. Anne Duhme was Math Conference Chairman. The conference consisted of two adults and several student speakers. Each student prepared his or her own speech. Students from many schools throughout the Bay Area attended to hear speakers and exchange ideas. The audio-visual assistants this year were under the supervision of Mr. Broemmer. They were the group responsible for the upkeep and distribution of projectors, tape recorders, and all other mechanical aids used at Redwood. The student body is grateful to these students for their help during rallies, dances, and games. They arranged for and operated the loud speak- er systems which made everything run more smoothly. When they werenit busy with these projects, the boys studied and worked on electronic de- vises such as radios, hi-fi's, and televisions. They received credit for the course and if they worked after school they were paid. A club for radio hams? Why not? That's ex- actly what the Amateur Radio Clubis purpose was: to gain technical knowledge of the opera- tion of radio equipment. All members of the Radio Club had to be working toward the radio operators license. The members built their own sets, and broadcasted on them. They also broad- casted from the school station WBGNVY. Wash the test tubes! Set up the lab for an ex- periment! These were just two of the many tasks the lab assistants took care of. Lab assistants were used in the chemistry, biology, and phys- iology classes. In general they aided the instruc- tor in correcting papers, cleaning up the lab, and assisting the students with their experiments. Special lab equipment protects Greg Simmons from harm- ful fumes.
