JEAN BURT President Advisor With service as a watchword and success as an ambition, Varia began its first year as Wilson's Girls' Honor Society. Scheduled first on the year's calendar was the initiation of sixteen new members on October 24. The members were accepted on a basis of grade point average and points earned through services to the school. Continuing acts of service such as ushering at the Dedication and the English Teachers' Convention, serving at the football banquet, and aiding the faculty with the teachers' teas kept the girls active throughout the year. Helping to enliven Yuletide spirit, Varia members made Christmas corsages for the women faculty and put decorative bouquets of fur boughs bedecked with little colored glass balls on the desks of men instructors. ln addition to the many incidental events in which Varia participated, the girls unendingly greeted visitors at the door at home games and promoted the sale of basketball pro- grams. The funds ,supplied by the sale of these programs ioined the proceeds from the red, white, and blue pom pom sale held during football season. One of the more exciting and interesting proiects was the running of a pop and hot dog booth at the Girls' Club Carnival, April lOth. As the year ended, Varia members, identified by a white blouse, red grograin ribbon, navy blue skirt and blue and white checked ierkin, still could be seen going from room to room, adding a touch of fragrance to the building in the form of spring bouquets.

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.
