1 Activities Activities came alive this year and proved that Weaver is mellow as more stu¬ dents than ever took part in the extra¬ curricular side of school life. Weaverites with imagination created new clubs and, at the same time, gave a fresh, exciting look to the old ones. From the formation of clubs such as CTP to the new programs of the long established Girls’ League, stu¬ dents found many more organizations to join. In sports, Weaver was champion, giving boys with athletic ability a chance to play on outstanding teams against other fine teams in the state, particularly in the Capitol District Conference. The afternoon dance, one innovation used by several groups, let Beavers have fun together after a day of study. The Boys’ Club sponsored one in the fall, CTP and the Booster Club at Christmas-time, and the seniors in January. Combined with fashion shows, sports movies, wig demon¬ strations, field trips and other events, the clubs drew new strength and new members.

Enthused Weaverites applaud new clubs During a session of the English Discussion Group, Mrs. Hennessey, Charles Lieberman and Sheila Long comment on a record of Negro history. One of the most exciting aspects of the past year was the founding of new clubs. Three of these, the Contempo¬ rary Club, the English Discussion Group, and the Girls’ Drill Team, were particularly successful in attracting students, many of whom had not pre¬ viously been interested in extra¬ curricular activities. CTP, the largest group, gave stu¬ dents of all levels and interests a chance to talk with each other. Advised by Mrs. Mary Gilbertson, the club sponsored dialogues, published a mag¬ azine and sponsored an afternoon Sock Hop for charity. In the English Discussion Group, students discussed topics ranging from economics to racial problems. The Girls’ Drill Team, in plaid skirts and green berets, built up school pride. Captained by Paulette Bush and Ivett Spence, the girls combined jazz dancing with precision marching. The Girls’ Drill Team includes (Front Row) Amanda Dumas, Adonica Johnson, Rosalind Stephenson, Paulette Bush, Cheryl Reynolds, Beverly Jones, Ivett Spence, Beverly Wilkinson, Frances Ellison, (Row 2) Roberta Kendrick, Barbara Jackson, Sonia Topper, Pauline Dawes, Michele Hughes, Sandra Ford, Velma Spence, Kathy McLachlan, (Row 3) Janie Tucker, Adele Booker, Deborah Smith, Celeste Stellmacher and Dorothy Wilkes.
