Where would we be without clubs? Probably most of us would be sitting in homeroom wishing that we had them. We don ' t have to wish, though, for the 36 Warren clubs fill homeroom and after-school hours with work and entertainment for every kind of interest. Bein° in a club can mean a lot of work, but also o a lot of fun. Decorating for a dance, exploring the future in a chosen profession or a cave with the science club, scuba diving at the “Y,” campaigning for a Stu- dent Council office in the spring. Some clubs broaden their work to reach those in need outside of our own little world. The food collection, sponsored by Hi-C, made Thanksgiving more meaningful to four families in the township. The kids at Muscatatuck State Hospital slept easier in the pajamas collected by the Red Cross Club. Most of the WCHS club activities were uninter- rupted by the February fire, but the Valentine Tea, an annual event, was cancelled for the first time in its 33 year history. “Standing in the Need of Prayer!” Pupils sang this chorus at a convocation led by guest Charles King. Assisting him are Bob Heisel and Marie Shaekel, members of the Madrigals. Without Them? It ' s Tourne y Time! At the English display case Joy Henard and Sara Gregory arrange pictures and news- paper clippings of Warrior basket- ball action, to boost school spirit. V- u.

■f? )incy and Nancy Troyan help to clean out the sooty lockers in the building. Creasy smoke coated everything that wasn’t covered. Fire Ignites Spirit Warrenites thought they saw their world going up in smoke on February 8. Head custodian Paul Jennet discovered a fire at 6 a.m. in the science wing. Vol- unteer firemen from Warren, Lawrence, and Wana- maker quickly responded to the alarm, and shortly had the fire under control. The blaze started in a storage area off Room 214, a remodeled science lab in use for 8 weeks. Although actual fire damage was confined to one end of the science-math wing, water and smoke caused damage throughout the building. The crisis brought out the best in Warrenite cooperation. About 25 stu- dents helped with the clean-up. More than 300 had volunteered but weren’t needed. Students, teachers, and custodians pitched in to scrub floors, clean win- dows, scour lockers, and wipe sooty textbooks. The cafeteria staff prepared meals and snacks for clean up crews. Many classes had to meet in new locations. The wrestling room, student planning center, teen canteen center, teachers’ lounge and dining room were temp- orary classtooms. Later, all but two returned to their regular rooms. Representative of several hard-work- ing students who volunteered to help clean up, Dirk Reek and Rick Cuyer sweep water out of the hall. In ad- dition to the damage caused by the fire and smoke, rain all day Tuesday damaged classrooms which weren’t touched by the fire.
