Just getting organized, the Audio Visual club, sponsored by Mr. Brownell, is open to all students at Maine West having C average in every subject. The members must assume responsibility for equipment and help make overlays for overhead projectors.

The boys assist teachers during their study, teach other students how to operate machines, and assist in the delivery of films and equipment. Also they are technicians who must make on‑the‑spot repairs.

Society Officers Chosen

New officers of the Maine West Historical Society were chosen this week. They include Barry Collins, president; Bill Wagner, vice-president: Pat Pump, secretary; and Nan Thinnes, treasurer.

The society contains 22 members. All are seniors who were chosen during their junior year, after taking a competitive exam.

"The society's activities will get under way after a constitution has been drawn up," stated Mrs. Alice Aegerter, sponsor.

White Collar Girls

The White Collar Girls have announced that approximately seventy girls were present at the first meeting. Sponsor Mrs. Eve Boyce of the business education department has announced the club's plans for the next few months.

The purpose of this active club is centered around business education. The girls learn about the functioning of different forms of business. Under the leadership of President Susan Dietz, the club's activities move rapidly.

Future Teachers

The purpose of the Future Teachers of America is to keep the students interested in teaching whether or not this will be the profession of their choice.

The officers are Carol Rito, president; Janice Reid, vice-president; and Sue Madeley, treasurer.. Sponsors of FTA are Miss Joyce Montegomory, English instructor, and Mr. Edwin Anderson, mathematics instructor. The meetings are held the third Wednesday of every month.

Rifle Club

Rifle Club, according to Mr. Otto Kohler, sponsor, is open to all students, boys and girls alike. The first meeting will be held soon.

Plans for this year are indefinite, as no range has been provided for Maine West. "Students who wish to shoot will be using the range at Maine on Thursdays and possibly Friday," remarked Mr. Kohler.

Rifles will be furnished by the club. Ammunition and targets, however, must be purchased from the club. Boys may have their ammunition provided by the army. Dues for the club are $1.

Later in the year, Mr. Kohler hopes to have the club go to Hilldale for trap and skeet shooting and to the Fox Valley Rifle range. He also expressed the desire for an outdoor range at Maine West.

Good Ghosts Offer Thanks

Girls club would like to thank all those who co‑operated in their annual Good Ghosts campaign, which ended today. According to Lynn Lewis, president, the drive under the charge of Sue Stolte and Marilyn Manfly, sophomores, was a success. The canned foods collected in homeroom for two weeks and from door to door on Halloween eve, will be delivered to the Des Plaines Welfare agency.
