C. is the filling of gift boxes which arc packed and shipped before Christmas each year to the war-devastated countries of Europe. These boxes contain toys, tablets, toothbrushes, combs, and other items a needy child would want. The J. R. C., now supervised by Miss Shirley Crutchfield, the school nurse, has also sponsored a member- ship drive. Donations were collected in homerooms. An assembly was presented by the J. R. C. telling how that J. R. C. came to be what its purpose is. A movie was shown so the students would know how their funds were put to use. Charles Fritz, secretary-treasurer; Joan Stavitzke, delegate; Miss Crutchfield, sponsor; Don Orban, president; Shirley Portman, vice- president. Paye 19 McAULIFFE PLUMBING HEATING CO.

Latin Club Stucli ies oman ure While Dorothy Memet explains the catapult, Pat Pustek, Henryetta Boswell, Anna Mae Oreskovich, Orva Jean Hobbs, and Mary Greer listen attentively. Judy Jancosek, secretary of the club, under the supervision of Miss Elizabeth Matson, writes of the forthcoming dance while Melvin Mrzlock, treasurer; Rich Fehrman, vice-president; and Bob Bercik, presi- dent observe. With Michael Kinel as a model Walter Biser, Milan Matuska, Tom Doran, and Jerry Zelenke demonstrate the Roman headdress. The Latin Club holds the interest of its members by urging them to participate in songs, talks, playlets, and projects intended to make the student more aware of the romance and back- ground of Latin. Every year the Latin Club prepares an instruc- tive display and exhibits it in the Senior High corridors. New members must have the strength of Roman gladiators to with- stand the stiff initiation inflicted upon them. Miss Elizabeth Matson is the sponsor of this ambitious group. J. J. NEWBERRY Pago 21
