QnduAbiiaL (Ani , 'Hoa. (Active (lfacuc Cabinet makers Experience is something that must be achieved by each individual. Through the efforts of the Industrial Arts Club, its members gain much useful knowledge. This knowledge gained by the boys will be of great value after their graduation. The Industrial Arts Club is under the spon- sorship of Mr. Philip Sauter. It began the years activities by electing the following officers: Presi- dent, John Krynak; Vice President, Robert Davis; Secretary-Treasurer, John Minko. New members were selected at the same meeting at which the officers were elected. Hageman Bolling, Tom Puskarich, Bill Revay, and Mickey LaRocka were chosen. Club meetings are held once a month dur- ing club period in the shop. The members are taught the importance of the correct use of shop equipment. This knowledge must be acquired before the boys are permitted to use any machin- ery. The club members are frequently seen about the school working on stage sets, repairing fuse boxes, fixing chairs, or other school equipment. When not doing this, they are working on small- er projects of their own. The efficient manner with which the mem- bers complete their tasks deserves much credit. Bottom Row, I. to r.: J. Minko, R.

The Future Teachers of America, under the expert guidance of Miss George, our guid- ance counselor, accomplished many things this year. The purpose of the club is to study and identify the qualities, traits, and aptitudes which are essential for successful teaching. Different teaching fields are studied. To be a member of the club one has to have an interest in the teach- ing profession. The following members were chosen to serve the club as officers: Helene Horovitz, President; Donna Schiavo, Vice President; Jo Ann Fratini, Secretary. The club raised money this year by selling book covers and sweaters to the student body. Club meetings were held, during lunch hour, on one Wednesday of each month at which time various problems about teaching were dis- cussed. Often during the year senior members were seen walking about the halls looking very neat and well-dressed. This happened on the days when the members were given opportunities to teach in the elementary schools. A great deal of practical experience was gained by members who did substitute teaching during the year. 23

The Model Builders was originally or- ganized for students who take an active inter- est in designing and building model airplanes. Under Mr. Bohn’s leadership, the club ex- panded into a model builders club rather than remain a model airplane club because members were interested in constructing dif- ferent types of models rather than concentrate exclusively on planes. The purpose of the Models Club is to teach the boys not only the building of model exhibits but also to read the blueprints and to understand how they work. This year the club started their activities by electing the following officers: Jim Span- ogians, president; Carl Jeffrey, N ice president; John Sarraeino, secretary-treasurer. The club is working upon an unusual two-year project which entails the construc- tion of a model race track complete with electrical-driven model racers. When the track is completed the members can compete in races using their own model racing cars. Under the supervision of their faculty advisor, Mr. Bohn, the club has become quite popular with mechanically inclined students. As the years progress, the members will be able to look back upon this year with a sense of pride and with fond memories of their club's activities. Guess who! 25
