Key Club This year the Key Club made a new record - a personal one - in service projects for the school, community, and also the enjoyment of the members. Last September there were two projects which some of the boys had waited all summer for: selling ice cream at recess and attending Kiwanis supper meetings. Probably the biggest project of the club was the second annual Christmas toy drive for underpriviledged children. Again this year this activity helped in making some households a little brighter at Yule-time. Most of the Seniors had a chance to play with all the toys during the drive, but they had to pay when the school Work Day came. With most of the tasks being on the manual labor side, the club washed walls, Hxed desks, and got tired! When you help someone there is no such thing as a small project, because what is small to one person will probably be huge and gigantic to another. For this reason the club considers the work for the March of Dimes, the distribution of plastic hearts for the Heart Fund, and placing red waste baskets in the school corridors just as important as making money for themselves. Mr. Shaw, who is the club's faculty advisor, spent a lot of time with the boys, and gained his share of grey hairs from some of the members' actions. Barry Lovejoy, who started the year with the club but later moved, and Neal Doucette, who broke his leg during football season, were missed very much throughout the year by the Key Clubbers. Oflicers are Gene Wfaters, president, David Morton, vice president, Neal Doucette, treasurer, Charles Gemmell, acting treasurer, and Clarence Doucet, secretary: New oflicers for the school year 1955-S6 are Theodore Harriman, president, David Billings, secretary, Neal Doucette, treasurer, James Swett, vice president.

Mother: 44 Club, now What is that and how long has it been going on? Mary: Gee, you're old fashioned! You can't tell me you donlt even know what the 44', Club is! ! You certainly must have heard about all the things they do. They manned the Student Service Desk, and cleaned out the book room. They take a trip to the State Legislature every other year and they have a banquet in June. But above all they sponsor the major dance in Westbrook High--the Stardust Ball. They have had a Stardust Ball ever since March 8, 1946. They give a gift to the school each year. Last year they gave a subscription in a book club and a globe to the school library. Mother: Who else belongs to the club? Mary: Oh, Jack Anderson is president, Claire Begin is the vice president, while Judy Chick is the secretary and Bruce Libby is the treasurer. Mr. Robinson is our faculty advisor. Mother: When do they meet and what are their meetings like? Mary: They meet every other Wednesday at seven o'clock in the Main Room. They have a business meeting for an hour and after the Hrst meeting, they are initiated. The second hour of the meeting is devoted to some- thing creative, such as guest speakers or forums. Some of the programs planned this year are discussions about the new high school. Mr. Robin- son likes to listen to our opinions. Of course, he doesn't have to use them. Mother: Well, you certainly convinced me. Run along now and come straight home after. McDufHc, Joe Shaw. ETHELYNE BILLINGS, ,S6.

The W Club The WH Club was organized in 1944 under the direction of Coach Cormier. It began with only' thirteen members but the number has grown considerably year after year. In the beginning the purpose of the club was to furnish sweaters to the Senior members who had earned their letter. Now they are awarded sweaters and letters at the same time and get certificates the remaining years. During the years the purpose has been altered slightly. The principal inter- est now is to get more students interested in athletics regardless of their skill or ability. The W Club promotes the intramural sports programs of touch foot- ball, basketball, volleyball, softball, track and the grammar school foul shooting contest and track meet. It awards the grammar school athletic trophies. The only requisites for joining the WU Club is earning a letter. Boys may do this in football, basketball, baseball or track. Girls may do this in basketball or cheerleading. There are no dues. The club meets the first Wednesday of each month. This year's officers are president, Gene Waters, vice president, William Hamilton, secretary, Judy Bailey, and treasurer, Ann Delcourt. Mr. Quentin R. Unger is faculty advisor.
