Llfldlf The Varsity U hegan a successful year with an election. the results of which tound Richie Blihalich, presidentg Ronnie Maltony, yiee presidentg and Eddie lhnot, secretary- treasurer. The activities of this cluh are under the supervision of Mr. Nicksick, who is the varsity foothall coach. The Varsity U is the cluh for the athletes of the high school. lt is composed of the var- sity letter-men and those boys who have heen out for a sport for two years. Every year the cluh gives Varsity U jackets to the graduating senior memhers. The hoys pay half the price and the cluh pays the re- maining half. Money for the jackets is earned hy sponsoring activities or projects. At their first meeting. the hoys decided to start immediately on a money-raising project. Shortly after Mr. Meryosh and Mr. Nicksick completed the final arrangements with the Standard Pennant Company, the cluh sold gaucho sweatshirts with the words i'Union Hi Blue Devils and a Blue Devil insignia printed on them. The overwhelming numher of sales made this project a very hig success and en- larged the depleted treasury. This year, as in the preceding years, the Varsity U had the Pepsi-Cola machine in the auditorium. For the second year the cluh is indehted to Nlr. Hanna for keeping a watchful eye on the machine during the lunch period. Gold charms. which represent the various sports. are given to the varsity memhers who have maintained a CV average during their three years in senior high school.
