- Everythin From Dancing to latest records, buying cokes, and playing ping pong are just a few of the enjoyable recreational opportunities offered by Club Co-Ed. Supported by funds from the local social agencies, the new recrea- tion eenter located in tl1e Manufacturers Building is for all senior high students. Cleo Vandermolen and Louise Vandenberg represent Union on the board. Licking the sugar off their mouths has become a favorite pastime for those who buy the delicious doughnuts that are sold after school. The sales are sponsored by various clubs as a means for raising money to carry out their activities. These after-school sales 'chit the spotw and are appreciated by students and teachers alike. For the first time at Union, students may have a share in the care of the library. Assisting Miss Gus- tafson, librarian, are seventeen tenth, eleventh, and CLUB Collin twelfth grade students, who check hooks, mount pic- Vfmdcn Berg, Vu-Hier Mulen, Memenlh:-len Van OOSIBHQ tures, and keep the shelves in order.
