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

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.

One of the popular clubs for boys of Union High School is the Sportsmens Club because it deals with activities boys like to do. Sportsmen take a fling at life The club, under the supervision of Mr. Kimberland, limits membership to about forty- five boys from the freshman, sophomore, jun- ior, and senior classes who are interested in sports such as hunting, fishing, and trapping. The chief purpose of the club is to teach boys good sportsmanship and safety. The chief objectives of the club are to learn through experience and group discus- sions a knowledge of the out-doors, an ap- preciation of wild life, the safe and proper methods of using firearms, and the joy of clean sportsmanship. The club meetings are spent in the dis- cussion of sports, guns, animals, and sports- manship. This year a list was compiled of the per- centages of different animals that had been caught and the total amount of game that had been bagged by the members. The re- port showed a record amount, however, mem- bers reported a scarcity of some species in places where a great number were found in former years. This year the following officers were elected: President, Joseph Harvey; Vice Presi- dent, Pete Blue; Secretary, Tom Garcy; Treas- urer, Charles Farulli.
