Ihe Projection Club is in charge of the showing of movies WHS students see during the school year. “Communism on the Map and Operation Abolition were two films that were shown to grades 7-12 early in May. Mr. Bottemiller, who was in charge of the program, spoke briefly on the importance of knowing what Communism is all about. The filmstrip Communism on the Map was also shown. It was surprising and rather frightening to note the great portion of the world that lias gone Communist In recent years. The movie Operation Abolition concerned a meeting of the House Un-American Activities Committee held in California and the near riots that errupted as a consequence of this meeting. The Pep Club has been an extremely active or- ganization this year Among other things they sponsored a sweat-shir sale. They also gave the team vocal support at all football and basketball games.
