This year, as any other year, the R club and its members have carried and lent a great deal of prestige to the campus. Although extremely handicapped due to the lack of available time because of the many extra- curricular activities on the campus, the Varsity club has made itself extremely worthwhile to its mem- bers and proved to be an incentive to those who needed that extra push to obtain full effort in at- tempting to win a Varsity letter. Although there were only nine returning lettermen from last year, the R club got off tc a quick start under the guidance of Capt. Robert Eberle who was assisted by Capt. Kenneth Streitt matter. Elections were held at the beginning of the year and Charles Cohen was elected president, Howard McPherson, vice-president, Robert Westveer, secretary and treasurer, and Warren Thomas, sergeant at arms. Westveer transferred at half-year, and Richard Bale was elected to fill in his stead. With these and a few other basic steps of organization, the Lettermen moved into con- clusive action in preparation for welcoming tis that the word they use now'?J the new members into this exclusive organization. The plans went into action and after a resounding welcome, the pledges took the final initiations in grand style, and received the final oath and acceptance the same night. With the entire organization lending full support, the '-R Club provided refreshments at every home basketball game and sponsored the entire intramural program. Again this year as last, they organized and ran off most successfully the annual Junior Olympics program that is looked for- ward to so much by every grade school in the county. At the end of every varsity sports season, a banquet or an assembly for the presentation of Letters was held. These activities coupled with their own big banquet at the end of the year in Rock Island makes those athletics busy fellows. But alack and alas! All good things must come to an end and so this year draws a curtain on aonther year's senior class and with it, the end of all participation in high school athletics for those fellows who are graduating. Letls take athletics seriously. If you are able, try out for the team, win that great big RH that so many athletes wear proudly, and as part reward join and sup- port the R Club. SIXTY-ONE
