Always among the active groups at Wilson is the Interna- tional Relations Qub, sponsored by Mr. C. W. Peterson. During the fall semester of 1940 Warren Han- son acted as president; Sam Mara- gos, vice-president; and Margaret Selders, secretary-treasurer. For the spring semester Sam Maragos was elected president; Myron Rush, vice-president; and Marga- ret Selders, secretary-treasurer. War-torn Europe has been a leading controversial topic of the organization, providing members with a basis for zealous discus- sions and debates. In an effort to clarify the issues involved, the International Relations Qub, to- gether with the Social Science Club, invited Dr. Walter Laves, frequently heard on the University of Chicago Kound. Table, to speak on the relation of the United States to the present World War. Among other accomplishments during the past semesters, the club has participated in a heated de bate with the social science stu- dents of the Chicago Teachers ' College. Members of International Relations Club have also taken an active part in student and faculty round table discussions. Serving as a center for social functions among the taller girls of Wilson, the Higher-Ups include lectures, plays, and concerts in their yearly program. Require- ments for membership in the club are that girls must measure at least five feet, eight inches in height and must have a desire to participate in club activities. Although Miss Helen Hubbard, the sponsor, does not meet the minimum height requirement, her able leadership more than suffices. A new step forward for the Higher- Ups has been the adoption of a club pin which has become the prized possession of each member. Leading the other girls of the or- ganization, not in height but in guidance, are Donna Frasemer, the club president; Marilyn Wer- n e r, vice-president; Rosemary Clous, secretary; Alyce Graham, treasurer; and Myrtle Connell, Club Board representative.

Presidents for fall and spring terms were Donald Menser and Thomas Jarasek respectively. Vice-presidents cmd program chairmen were Doris Bond and Richard Lawton; financial respon- sibilities were the concern of Her- bert Dotterer and Ray Petrauskas. Much of the written material for the club was done by secretaries Anamary Kirchhoff and Josephine Madix. Lectures, socials, and movies kept the members quite busy.

Brazda. This group of service students is carefully selected upon the recom- mendations of members of the fac- ulty, on the basis of commendable character, scholastic achievement, and participation in extra-curricu- lar activities. Students ore chosen from all classes except the first semester class. The duties of the Junior Staff members range from ushering at all school occasions, such as on commencement night, opera or concert night, and theater night, to handling the student elections, representing Wilson on visitation days, and assisting during Orien- tation Week at the beginning of the term. Chairman of the Junior Staff for the past two semesters has been James Ginty, and ably assisting him as co-chairman is Albert Pask, who succeeded Ralph Gould, co- chairman during the fall semester. J
