SUSAN GANZ MISS MARY JANE BLASER Wiona members begin a hike across the Narrows Bridge. ce President, S Strom Selling Mums at the Turkey Day Game, selling mistletoe at Christmas, and holding a splash party - these were some of the projects initiated by Wiona Girls' Athletic Association this year. The money collected from these pro- iects was used to purchase athletic awards for the girls at the end of the year, and a gift for the school. ln November many work parties were held to make the ninety-six Mum corsages that were sold at the Wilson- Lincoln game on Thanksgiving. The mums were white, with a large red W in the center, and a blue ribbon backing. At Christmas Wiona members sold over one hundred pack- ages of mistletoe to the student body, and friends and rela- tives. Through playing team sports, participating in Doll-phins, marching with the Marching Team, swimming with girls' swim teams, girls could earn points for their athletic letters. Four team sports-basketball, volleyball, progressive dodgeball, and baseball were offered, as were hikes and after school plunges. After a year of active participation in school activities and girls' sports, Wiona ended the year with the election of officers, and the presentation of athletic letters to all girls who had earned them. These awards were: first year, a chenile letter W , second year, a Wiona Club pin, and third year, a guard for the pin. ROW l: K. Walch, J. Hollis, C. Fewell B. Bruns, K.

Members of Girls' Council demonstrate their dramatic ability To give service for the betterment of the school cmd com- munity, to develop a sense of friendship and unity among all girls, to inspire finer ideals of individual responsibility and service, to contribute to school spirit by inspiring thoughtfulness, loyalty, and honor in the girls of the student body . . . this is the purpose of the Wilson Girls' Club. Living up to this purpose were the members of the six Girls' Club committees: Decoration, Friendship, Program, Publicity, Service, and Social. Membership in one of these commit- tees was available to each interested girl in the student body. The activities, proiects and responsibilities were divided among these committees which worked as a unit under the guidance of Girls' Council. s Many worthwhile proiects were sponsored by the Girls' Club committees this year. Among these were getting food for the welfare of indigent families at Thanksgiving and Christmas, sending get-well cards to ill students and teachers, giving birthday corsages to faculty members, and making monthly favors for teachers' desks. A new idea adopted was having women from various old folks homes in the community act as grandmothers to each committee. To finance these proiects it was necessary for Girls' Club to hold money-raising activities. Monthly bake sales, a candy-cane sale, Christmas corsage sales, and Thanksgiving Day Game program sales were among these activities. Money raised by these and other proiects was used for the benefit of the school and student body. Another important feature of Girls' Club's activity was the sponsoring of several fun and social proiects. Some of these were the Valentine Tolo, the MotherfDaughter Tea, and the Cotton Carnival, which was held in April and marked the first day on which the girls of the student body blossomed forth in cottons. Girls' Club had a very successful year, climaxed by the elec- tion of next year's officers. Many traditions were established which will benefit girls at Wilson in years to- come.

Any boy who had earned a varsity letter was eligible for membership in the club, which met every Thursday. The officers of Lettermen's Club were Gary Feroglia, president, Mike Duppenthaler, secretary, Kermit Olson, vice-president, Nole West, treasurer, and Chuck Hunter, sergeant-at-arms. One of the first orders of business was the selection of an official letter sweater. The sweaters which were selected were navy blue cardigans with red and white trim. Also, any senior letterman could get a navy blue iacket trimmed with a red and white Wilson emblem. Lettermen performed many services around school. One such important service was the policing of the gym during bas- ketball games. They also served at the Girls' Club Banquet to repay the girls who had served them at their football banquet. Highlighting the year for Lettermen's Club was the Student- Faculty Basketball Game. This game, which will become an annual event, was held at the end of the regular basketball season. Athletically inclined male faculty members opposed senior members of Lettermen's Club who had received their letters in sports other than basketball. Following this game, Lettermen's Club and Wiona sponsored a dance in the cafe- teria. Proceeds from this event contributed to paying off the student body debt. l GARY FEROGLIA President Advisor ROW l: B. Zenk, J. Mode, T. Parker, B. Knutson, sergeant at arms, G. Curtice, G.
