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.

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

The membership of the club is composed of tenth, eleventh, and twelfth-grade girls who are interested in sports. The girls' opportunities to take part in sport activities are numerous. They can play basketball, volleyball, or softball. Dur- ing monthly club periods that are held in the gym, they dance or participate in games between member teams. The officers of the club this year were: Susan Rash, president; Betty Melnyk, vice pres- ident; and Kathy Stewart, secretary-treasurer. The club’s annual dance was held in Decem- ber. The main attraction of this dance was the crowning of the 1959 Football King and Queen. This year Sam Samloff was crowned king, and Mary Ellen Blaine was crowned queen. Susan Rash and Frank Mika were selected as first attendants to the king and queen. At the annual party, food was brought bv all the girls. After refreshments were served, the remainder of the evening was spent in dancing. Everyone enjoyed themselves. The evening passed all too quickly. This year the club was under the sponsor- ship of Mrs. Jean Beyer. Ambitious maids. Bottom Row, 1. to r.: J. Zabetakis, K. Young, C. Harris, B. Melnyk, S. Rash, Mrs. Beyers, K. Stewart, M.
