Members of the delegation at the assembly U. N. CLUB The purpose of the United Nations Club is to promote an understanding and a knowledge of the United Nations, and particularly to prepare a delegation to participate in the Model U. N. at the University of Utah in the spring. Mr. Dieffenbach, faculty sponsor; Dave Work, president; Pete Billings, vice-president; and Rob McAlister, secretary were aided considerably in this task by Gunnar Roald, our foreign exchange student from Norway. St. Mark’s represented Norway at the mock assembly. The knowledge of U.N. procedure and of Norwegian policy gained in the club meetings made the model assembly an interesting and in- formative experience for the participants. The delegation itself performed quite well. Gunnar Roald and Dave Work give the opening speech at Model Assembly. Page twenty-nine

PEP ACTIVITIES The Lettermen’s Club was formed early this year by the boys who had earned varsity letters last year. Its purpose was to act in any service beneficial to the school, and to further the participation in and support of athletics. The boys acted as ushers and ticket takers at school functions. They organized several pep assemblies and spent time making ban- ners and posters for the basketball games. With the advent of basketball, it was decided to choose cheerleaders. Several boys tried out, and the Rowland Hall cheerleaders automatically became St. Mark’s cheerleaders. Those participating this year were Bill Gibbons, Rob McAlister, Wim Ray, and Greg Soter; Cheri Barnard, Sandra Franke, Becky Markley, Kris Nusbaum, Helen Roberts and Sue Sonderegger. Page thirty
