For the class of '63 this year has been a fun-filledexperience. By tar its most extensive project was theJunior Promenade which was given in honor of theclass of '62 on the evening of May 4. Since November,when the theme "Camelot" was chosen, the class offi-cers and council members, in addition to the variouscommittees, worked to produce the prom which tookplace in Westfield High School's gymnasium.

Toward the end of the academic year, the juniorselected officers for their last year at WHS. At theirfinal class meeting each candidate was presented witha problem which he might meet during his term ofoffice. His answer to this problem took the place of acampaign speech. With experience behind them, andtheir senior year ahead of them, the class of '63 islooking forward to the challenge of leading our schoolin the coming year.

Advanced

Knitting ClubOnce a girl has learned the basic skills of

knitting, she wants to tackle intricate designs

and difficult patterns. In the Advanced

Knitting Club, girls knit more or less on their

own, with Miss Marjorie Rugen helping them

with problems that arise. The girls' projects

are not only attractive, but practical as well.

Beginners'

Knitting ClubInherent in the character of every girl are

certain domestic qualities which today have

become buried under the busy modern

schedule. In the Beginners' Knitting Club,

girls are provided with the opportunity to

develop skills of knitting and work on such

projects as mittens, scarves, and simple

sweaters. Mrs. Florence Swink, their adviser,

answers questions and solves students' prob-

lems, helping the girls to become skillful

knitters.

Auto Club for GirlsNever let it be said that a girl can't

change a tire. The members of the Auto

Club for Girls can do this and much more.

They are adept at lubricating, minor repairs

and adjustments, and servicing the cooling

and brake systems. During the year they

have worked on automotive units such as

the fuel pump, carburetors, and other

accessories. Lectures and demonstrations

have been supplemented by modern auto-

motive films. Instructed by Mr. Robert Delia

Russo, the girls learn much about the opera-

tion of automobiles.

Bakers' ClubThe members of the Bakers' Club, spon-

sored by Mrs. Joan Testa, learn to cook afew popular dishes well. Limited to twenty-four junior and senior girls who have hadsome cooking experience (although anyboys who can pass the qualifying test maybe admitted), the club prepares and eatsits creations during the club periods.

Bridge ClubsThe two bridge clubs are divided on the basis of proficiency

in the game. Having learned the basic skills, the beginnerspractice during the club period. They have learned to be-come better bridge players through experience and the guid-ance of their adviser, Mrs. Sherie Schmauder. The climax oftheir practice club was a club tournament with the prize aparty for the winners.

The Advanced Bridge Club concentrates on improvementthrough playing experience and the learning of advancedtechniques. Mrs. Geneieve Hill advises this club, which meetsduring regular club periods.

Ceramics ClubAlthough relatively new, the Ceramics Club

is fast becoming one of the most popular organ-izations in our school. The purposes of theclub are to introduce newcomers to the art ofceramics and to provide an avocational in-terest for some students. During the club periodeach month, after a short business meeting,the members work on various ceramics of theirchoice. According to Mr. John Thompson, ad-viser, the students are given a feeling ofachievement and personal satisfaction whenthey complete a project.

Chess ClubThe Chess Club provides an opportunity

to learn to play and enjoy this • classicaland thought-provoking game. It also devel-ops the skill of more experienced players.The members play during club periods, athome meetings, and after school in room110 under the guidance of Mr. MiltonBarnes. To aid the group in furthering itsknowledge, speakers are invited to discussand demonstrate chess plays.

Stamp ClubOpportunity knocks for members of the

Stamp Collectors' Club. Not only have theymembership in a high school club, but alsoin an organization which has a foothold onthe future. This student-formed club offersgreat opportunities for increasing the de-velopment of a hobby which will be pursuedthrough the years. Mr. Robert Duncan actsin the capacity of adviser to this group.

Art ClubThe Art Club, limited to forty members

because of the large number of studentsjoining and the limited capacities, is underthe guidance of Mrs. Clara Grandcolas.Created mainly to stimulate interest in art,the club's program usually consists of a fewspeakers, painting demonstrations, and atrip at the end of the year.

Writers' ClubThis small club consists of a group con-

Isabella Dodds chap-ter of the Future Teachers of America provides its members withfirst hand information concerning these concepts. Some of theactivities undertaken by the society in search of this goal are afield trip to a college with a teacher education program and aday in the local schools when members may practice teachingmethods.

Through F.T.A., high school students gain valuable insightinto the teaching profession to help them decide on collegesand careers. The club is under the leadership of Mrs. SandraHinson and Mrs. Patricia Tretout.
