Che N44 Club On October 20, the auditorium and corridors of Westbrook High School were the scenes of some very unusual happenings. Firzt, students were blind- folded, made to crawl under chairs, over mats, and then up and down stairs. The beauty treatment consisted of lipstick, perfume, and powder Qin overdosesj. But this wasn't the end! After a brisk walk in the cool evening air, some members refreshed themselves by dunking for apples, clothes and all. Oh, but don't get excited, the students hadn't gone crazy. They were just being initiated into the 44 Club by the Senior club members. After the first meeting, the club met regularly every other week, with a very high attendance rate. It is composed of junior and senior College English students, and is excellently advised by Mr. Robinson. Officers for this year were Peter Gro-ndin, president, Jerry Sinclair, vice-president, Roberta Wyer, secretary, Bill MacHardy, treasurer. Each meeting is planned by a committee and is always well organized. We have had speakers on safety and driving, on delinquency, and on travel. Film strips of the U. S. and Korea have been shown to us, besides some safety films. Aside from our meeting we also have many social activities. The first of these was the Invitation Dance, held in February, which replaced the Barnyard Hop. Later in April, we sponsored our perennial favorite, the Stardust Ball. Near the end of the year there was a 44 Club Banquet, which was held at Pine Point. As is readily seen we are a busy, progressive club, and will remain so under the guidance of Mr. Robinson. As long as there is a 44 Club there will always be fun, mirth, and knowledge extended to all its members.

UNO, Bill, but maybe we can drag out our meeting so there won't be enough time for Miss Chick to give us a test.', This conversation should sound familiar to any Washington Club member. The Washington Club is usually started during the Junior year. Its goal is a trip to the nation's capitol, and all of us are looking forward to it with great anticipation. Washington has many wonders in store for 36 Westbrook High Seniors, an added attraction for the girls is Annapolis. The organization for this long awaited trip was headed by Roberta Wfyer and Peter Thoits as co-chairmen. It was backed by our class advisors, Mrs. Fairchild and Mr. Burnham. It seems that the club of !S4 waited until their last year to raise money for the big event. Nearly every Week this year something has been happening. The annual Holly Ball proved to be a gala event with Christmas decorations, free refreshments and a smooth orchestra. The Shamrock Ball and several other dances provided the student body many evenings of dancing to the music of our favorite orchestras. Also, after many of our uhomei' basketball games, the stu- dents ended the evening with a view dance in the gym, also sponsored by the Washington Club. Several food sales and a card party brought in more money. The lunch bar provided the student body with recess snacks, and the club with a little extra cash. Many of us made new acquaintances by knocking on doors asking people to buy fudge or donate paper to help our worthy cause.

Club One look at the trophy case will tell you that in Westbrook our athletes win. Why? you ask. Well, Westbrook High is most fortunate in having a very well rounded athletic program. Basic fundamentals for competitive sports start with our exceptionally good physical education program. It is here that our future stars get their incentive. Why does a small school like Westbrook turn out such excellent athletes? Because we Westbrookians have a sincere desire to win which dates back over the years. Why do boys compete? There are many reasons, but these two stand out: One is that they love the sport, the other is that most of them receive a NW. But winning a letter isn't just getting a sweater with a W on it by any means. It serves as a sort of reward for all the hard work they have put into the game. It signifies their ability to learn teamwork, and quick thinking, and also develops their strong will to win, which will help them in their future professions. It will also help them to become leaders who will represent Westbrook in the best pos- sible way. - Those who have learned all these things by playing are now members of a club called the W Club, which consists of having a membership in the student athletic club. This year's W Club officers are Donald Harriman, president, Priscilla Harvey, secretaryg and Florence Frost, treasurer. l l 1
