On Monday, April 4, the Theater club will make a trip to Chicago to see Redhead, a play from Broadway starring Gwen Verdon.

The club, sponsored by Mr. Marlan Davis, English teacher, consists of about 34 students who attend various plays which are being presented in the city.

Since the club is designed mainly to entertain its members, there is no necessity for formal officers. Instead, a central committee, including Norm Boyer, Carol Koscal, and Char Thompson lead the discussion o the plays, and, along with Mr. Davis, decide which ones are to be seen during the season.

Other projects this year have included trips to see the plays Look Homeward, Angel and West Side Story. Future plans consist of viewing The Pleasure of His Company and the movie spectacular Ben‑ilur.

ONE OF THE NEWLY formed clubs at Maine West is the Maine West Rummy club. Its purpose is to give recognition to certain persons who have in no way distinguished themselves in sports or extra‑curricular activities.

The most important project of 'the year was the annual membership drive which was a huge success. Qualifications for membership included being rut from at least two varsity athletic teams and having no athletic ability. Students who are members of extra curricular activities but take no active part are also eligible.

The club is trying to build up spirit where it is needed the most‑within the ranks of its members.

Anyone making any advancements is immediately dropped from the club, as membership is highly restricted.
