1 jtv, JEy ' i Mb THE DEBATE CLUB: Beverly Pattison, Robert Wolberg, Mr. Robert Pierce (advisor), Winfred Blue and Eileen Bailey. DEBATE CLUB Despite the fact that the Debate Club has won only one debate this year, the members form a courageous group which deserves a lot of credit for its never-dying determination. Robert Wol- berg, president, still insists that Bulkley dissolved its debating squad simply be- cause its members were utterly petrified about facing Weaver. This year the Debate Club has been involved with the topic of labor and management. GIRLS ' BUSINESS CLUB (left to right): Pauline Gross- Suzanne Ratner, Mary Wiggins, Kathy Wallace, Ruthanne man, Vernice Gordon, Joanne Glynos, Anne Perry, Frediel McAuley, Beverly Pattison.

Freedman, Melinda Gunn, Hope Lessinger, Patricia Wood, GIRLS’ BUSINESS CLUB Through the Girls’ Business Club, members gain a better knowledge of what to expect and what is ex- pected of them as secretaries. Each month the club invites executives to come and speak at meetings and to discuss the various qualities necessary for a good secretary. Occasionally, former members of the club are invited back to tell about their experiences in the business world.

FUTURE NURSES’ CLUB What do you mean you already bought three hun- dred and seventy-two pens?” Members of the Future Nurses’ Club are perpetually seen throughout the corri- dors selling, bartering and giving away ball point pens. Because of their diligent efforts, the club has sponsored a scholarship for a senior girl who is interested in nursing for a career. The Future Nurses’ Club has revised its program to encompass many more activities than previous years. FUTURE TEACHERS’ CLUB I got rubber pants! What did you get?” Ludicrous gag gifts were a highlight at the Future Teachers’ Club Christmas party. Besides throwing parties, the club has sponsored many constructive functions such as a speaker from the School for the Blind and a panel discussion. Mr. George Thomas spoke to the group early in the year about the qualities of a good teacher. 14 FUTURE TEACHERS ' CLUB (from left to right): Back row — Robert Gilman, Jonell Johnson, Joseph Waxman, Cheryl Coblens, Carolyn Esky, Barbara Strickland.

FRENCH CLUB The noble members of the French Club desperately try to follow the cardinal rule of speaking French at all times during every meeting. Unfortunately this leaves a lA French student pathetically sitting in the corner crying. This year the French Club has had to contend with all the havoc, hecticness and crises involved with organiz- ing a new club. C ' est la mort, n’est-ce pas? ART-CRAFTS CLUB Meeting the first Monday of each month, members of the Art-Crafts Club, one of the oldest clubs at Weaver, learn to sketch and to appreciate art. At times, the club invites artists to lecture, and in May the club takes a trip to see interesting art works in another city. At the end of each year, the Art-Crafts Club gives a cash award to a promising young senior artist. 16
