The task of tutoring all students who needed it would have been unbearable-if it had been undertaken by the faculty. Fortunately, there were many students at Rhodes who were proficient enough in a given subject to impart the knowledge they possessed to another student who may have been in difficulty. This tutoring accomplished two things. First, and foremost, the tutoring strengthened the weaker student in the subject with which he was having trouble. T he second result was that the tutor himself reinforced his knowl- edge of the subject in which he was tutoring. These two reasons made the entire program doubly worthwhile. Under Faculty Advisor Mr. Warren, the tutors labored without any payment except the satisfaction they derived from helping another student attain high levels of achieve- Ronald Nordhauser.

TRAFFIC SQUAD The Traffic Squad at Rhodes is responsible for the maintenance of the efficient move- ment of traffic within the school. The small- ness of the halls and the size of the student body almost dictate traffic jams. Under Commissioner John McKendrick, however, the Traffic Squad has kept these to a minimum. Late in the year, the newly formed SVA took over the running of the Traffic Squad. Despite this change in administration, McKendrick kept control of the Squad. The i SVA take-over was engineered to help this ae fledgling organization consolidate all stu- dent services under one administration. Faculty Advisor Mr. Schwartz says that this year, the Squad was amazingly efficient in keeping the traffic moving in a sane fashion. Due to the amazing job of organization by John McKendrick and Mr. Schwartz, this year's Squad was the most efficient in recent memory.

The Club ish ee and cue by distinguished ended lectures on Span- experts in these fields. The Club also went to several restaurants specializing in Spanish cuisine. The eo: Tourist Center was the scene of many club meetings as the group p lanned a fanciful trip through the Spanish country- side. The customs of Spain, as well as the modern political scene there, were also dis- cussed. These studies offered the members better insight into the Iberian language. The members ended the year with a broad background not only in the language, but in the fascinating culture of Spain.

EIGHTH GRADE TEENAGE CLUB The aim of the Eighth Grade Teenage Club was to prepare the sub-freshmen for entrance into the Rhodes’ high school di- vision. This was done by fostering cohesion among the Eighth Graders in order that they might begin to assume identity as a class. This year, the Eighth Grade Teenage Club pre- pared the Class of 1969 for a aeetal high school career. The Club was made up of the two Eighth Grade Home Rooms under the advisorship of Mr. Callahan. This was a most active year for the Club. Two dances, a bowling tourna- ment, ice skating parties, a chess tournament and regular forums on current affairs were some of the activities organized by the Club this year. With this sound grounding in group co- operation, as well as their unity as a class, the Eighth Grade will enter high school well prepared for the rigors ahead.

SEVENTH GRADE TEENAGE CLUB The purpose of the Seventh Grade Teen- age Club was to introduce the double sub- freshmen into the world of departmental- ized teaching and rushing high school students. Under the advisorship of Mr. Bradley, the Club participated in such diverse activities as bowling, ice skating, chess and attendance at a baseball game. Regular dis- HL Bh cussion groups on problems concerning and confronting the Seventh Graders were held. The Seventh Grade Club worked in close co-operation with the Eighth Grade Club, and therefore, the transition from the Sev- enth to the Eighth Grade versions of the Teenage Club will be an easy step. The members of the Seventh Grade look forward to another year of active programs in their climb toward high school. Bradley, Karl Weber, Richard Brill.
