Radio Club is added to list of new groups Thirteen boys joined together this year to form a new group called the Amateur Radio Club. Since the organization needed equipment to start, they ran a crossword puzzle contest and earned enough money to buy a transmitter. David Walczak, pres¬ ident, indicated that club member¬ ship should continue to grow. Whenever anyone needs to have some audio visual equipment set up, he calls on the A.V.A. squad. As Nick Mele stated, “It is an or¬ ganization which has an important function in this school.” With the rapid increase in the amount of audio visual materials, its services become more vital. Each member is responsible to the captain, Richard Siedman. A.V.A. includes Jeffrey Rudolph, Wil- Checking over transparencies are Greg Dublin, Stephan Demirjian, Jeffrey Rudolph and Ham Harvey, Jim Richard Richard Siedman.

Art-Crafts Club includes Phillip Gar bus, Teresa Baccielo, Irene Gouvia, Nadine DeLawrence, Mr. John Preu, Fern Zlochiver, Faye Wein, and Joe Perlman. While the Biology Club, led by Steven Mastronarde, sponsored a lecture on the effects of LSD by Dr. Joel Schwartz, a swim party in honor of new members and discussion groups, other clubs were focusing their atten¬ tions on organizing and financing field trips. The Junior Red Cross, continuing to give much of its time in volun¬ teer work at the Oak Hill School for the Blind, joined with the Future Teachers’ Club in arranging a trip to Washington, D.C., to visit the sights in the nation’s capital. One of their most important fund raising activ¬ ities for this trip was a guess-the-beans contest; the winner received a watch as first prize. The Art-Crafts Club, under Teresa Baccielo, traveled to Farmington Avenue to study the art and architecture of St. Joseph’s Cathedral as a preliminary to their an¬ nual trip to New York City to see some of the attractions there. In addition, the club made paper animals to enter¬ tain hospitalized children. By far the most hardy and adventurous group, the German Club highlighted their year with a hiking trip. The site for the climb was Bear Mountain, the highest point in the state of Connecticut. Spring field trips climax clubs’ program calendars German Club includes (Front Row) George Thomas, Alan Lowenstein, Laura Carabillo, Teresa Rozek, (Row 2) Donna Strout, Mr. Fritz Tietze and Beverly Feldsher. 26
