This year membership was open to any girl at Redwood instead of requiring mem- bers to take home-making courses. Each month the club held a potluck dinner at a different girl's home at which time the meet- ings were held. Bake sales were also held to raise funds for the big year-end project? The club members were honored by being giv- en the privilege of serving as pages at the Ameri- can Dietetic Association Convention in San Francisco last October. Fall officers were Suzanne Lucia, President, Ruth Smith, Vice-President, Jan Offenbach, Secretary, and Debbie Leininger, Treasurer. The club was advised by home-making teachers Mrs. Sue Chelini and Mrs. Judy Morris.

This year they worked for the Heart Society, United Cerebral Palsy, and have gone around door to door telling people about the bond issue. They held many fund raising activities in order to sponsor an American Indian child. Some of their activities were as follows: a Bundle Day-held in January to collect clothes for Appalachian children, a Conventional Bake Sale-where they sold cookies, cakes, and goodies to raise money for club Teas , charg- ing admission to hear a band in the Little Thea- ter, and designing a display shelf in the school.

Puzzles and games make learning fun. Share and Tell' time is an important event of the day. Student teaching was one of the most popu- lar elevtives offered on the Junior and Senior level. There were 74 student teachers from Redwood. In the Fall most of these were Seniors but a few Juniors participated. There were 45 students working in regular classes of instruction in six surrounding schools, and 29 in special education classes working with children who are mentally, physically, or emotionally retarded. Eight Redwoodites taught at K.M.R., Kinder- garten Mentally Retarded, in Terra Linda, and one crippled girl worked with crippled children at Marindale School in San Rafael. Suzanne DeWilde supervises a future Rembrandt at work The student teachers received a grade on the basis of how they performed the duties spec- ified for them by their master teachers, earning 5 credits for each semester, as is the case in all other classes. All of the students in the program did not intend to become teachers.,However, this was not a prerequisite. Working with children is a valuable experience for all students. It also proved, at least to these students, that the old addage, Those who can do, those -who can't teach. . Y' is false. 77 Q

The I.F.O., Individual Freedoms Organiza- tion, was active again this year in the publica- tion of their periodical, Common Sense. The purpose of the club was to provide an outlet, through which Common Sense was available. The newspaper was for students wishing to ex- press their views on various issues. Anyone who submitted articles to the editor, which were valid and legitimate opinions, had their articles printed. In addition to Common Sense, the I.F.O. also sponsored speakers who came to Redwood and spoke to interested students. The President of the I.F.O. this year was Glenn Wright, the Editor of Common Sense was Lee Fishel and the advisor of the club was Mr. Purcell. Redwood's Model Airplane Club met during lunch every 2nd and 4th Friday. The club con- sisted of 13 members who spent their meetings not only building models, but also discussing engines and common materials. This year's President was Tim Tobin and the advisor was Mr. Robert Flynn. The Hiking Club has completed its second year. It was formed for those interested in hik- ing, especially as a way to keep physically fit. They started the year with elementary hikes up Mount Tamalpais to the Pan Toll Station. Further plans included places that offered the most challenge to our hikers. The club's advisor was Mr. Jerry Jones. It was he who made it possible for the members to hike all over Marin County. 79
