Through the OFFICIALS' CLUB the boys gained a better knowledge and learned the rules of all the major sports. The club instilled in the members the ideals of good sportsmanship and manners at all athletic contests. Putting their knowledge to prac- tical use, the boys oificiated for all intramural and Wayne Town- ship Lcague basketball and soft- ball games during the year. En garde! is the familiar cry of the FENCING CLUB. Its members delighted in attack- ing each other vigorously with the poise and co-ordination of medieval nobles. The fundamen- tals of defense and attack, such as parries and stances, were taught to beginners. The more intricate maneuvers were learned by the experienced members.

To build co-ordination and endurance of motion, the mem- bers of the GIRLS' GYMNAS- TICS CLUB were taught vari- ous skills in apparatus work, cal- isthenics, and tumbling. The ability to take orders was ac- quired while performing march- ing routines. As a result of their training, the girls were able to assume po- sitions as leaders in their physi- cal education classes. A new club with a new idea, the LEADERS' CLUB, was in- troduced at the beginning of the school year. The members hoped to become outstanding physical education students by participat- ing in gymnastics and team games during the club period. In the fall the boys took part in such outdoor sports as foot- ball, baseball and speedball. The winter found them on the appar- atus and climbing ropes, with wrestling as an added feature. After the members gained skill in gymnastics, they became lead- ers by helping their classmates during gym periods. Thus they made the physical education course an example of true team- ...,...l,.

gfwfi. . ..... The Wayne chapter of the FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA, a nation-wide club, was organized as a means of giving new insight and understanding to the field of teach- ing. A thorough program was organized to stim- ulate students' interest in teaching as a career. ln the fall, the club members visited elemen- tary schools in the township to extend their knowledge of various teaching techniques. Later in the year, they gained actual experience by teaching classes they had observed. A field trip was taken to Paterson State Teachers College to find out the academic and personal requirements for entrance to the pro- fession. One of the foremost contributions of this club was the continuance of the Story Hour, formerly sponsored by the Preakness Women's Club, at the public library. For one hour each Saturday morning, the members read to chil- dren from Hve to nine years of age to increase the youngsters' desire for reading. A realization of the effects of conservation on economic development and every day life led the CONSERVATION CLUB to study the great out-of-doors objectively, construc- tively and safely. For job employment and education in this Held the different aspects of the mining and lumbering industries were investigated by using films and field trips.
