The Junior Retail Executives Club offers interesting and instruc- tive activities to its members, en- abling them to get actual experi- ence in the merchandising field. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Fred- erick Hess, the members of the club have taken trips to leading neighborhood and downtown stores. Through careful planning enter- tainment as well as serious discus- sions were included in the club ' s program. 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. A highly successful fashion show was presented in the Spring Car- nival. The club plans to assemble a merchandising museum, with the aid of the students and the school.

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.

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.

Every Wilson man who has earned a college letter in some sport is eligible for membership in the Lettermen ' s Club. Coach Wal- ter Smith, the sponsor for the spring term of 1941, leads the group whose chief aims are to promote athletics, to arouse more school spirit among the students, and to manage intra-mural tournaments. The Brawn Boys of the Letter- men ' s Club have been under the able leadership of Oliver Rondel, who has acted as president during the spring semester. Louis Man- kus served as vice-president of the club; Paul Podmajersky as secre- tary, Jim McClowry as sergeant- crt-arms while Conrad Kubina served as Club Board representa- tive. Every year the Lettermen ' s Club holds a banquet at which a cup is presented to the athlete who best combines sportsmanship and scholarship.

The Literary Qub is organized for students who wish to meet with those persons interested in litera- ture and continue discussions of the type held in classes. During the spring semester the club was very fortunate to hear Mrs. Olive Lindsay Wakefield, sister of Va- chel Lindsay, read her brother ' s poetic works. At other meetings Mr. E. N. Lockard read the short stories of Saki (H. H. Munro), and Mr. Charles Baker commented on records from ]u {us Caesar and Hamlet. Other activities were a theatre party to see Twelfth Hight, a tour through a radio studio, and a social at which records of Gilbert and Sullivan ' s lolanthe were played. During the fall semester Mr. Mar- vin Laser informed the members How to Read a Novel. Later, a theatre party to see The Male Ani- mal was held, and a tour was con- ducted through the University of Chicago Press. Officers were Robert Cole, presi- dent; Sylva May Dushkes, secre- tary; Mary McCaffrey, publicity chairman; and Vivienne Swan- berg, Club Board delegate. 77
