events bulletin board, and a spring clean-up campaign. The group also srved
as guides for the scholastic fair in January, and cosponsored the Variety
Show in February. The group is advised by Mr. Lewis Brown.

Nature Club
Nature walks around the school property, Cooper's Pond, and other locations
around Bergenfield have enabled the twenty-five members of the Nature Club
to see for themselves some of the natural things they have learned about
in the museums of the area. As well as making excursions around Bergenfield,
the club visited the Coney Island Aquarium, American Museum of Natural
History, Bronx Botannical Gardens, and other plances in its searche for
knowledge of the great outdoors.
Miss Patricia Podesta serves as a sponsor and advisor for the group.

Traffic Squad
Fifty hard-working students comprise the Traffic Squad in order that
the school may be kept neat and orderly. In its past five years of existence
the Squad has not only been able to keep the school neat and orderly but
also keep the students from abusing the school facilities. To be considered
for a post on the Traffic Squad, students need the recommendations of their
individual homeroom teachers. These recommendations are based on the student's
spirit, reliability, attitude, and academic standing. The leaders of the
organization included Mr. Vincent Masarro, sponsor of the Squad, its Captain,
Ann Martino, and Co-captain Dorothy Umscheid

Stage Crew
This small but active service organization plays the records for all
the dances, builds the scenery for the school plays, Variety Show, and
concerts, and works at all the assemblies. Many skills are required for
the accomplishment of these jobs. A knowledge of carpentry, physics, electricity,
and electronics is needed if the member of the Crew is to be successful
at his work. The responsible boys of the Stage Crew, under the direction
of Mr. Robert Quackenbush, spend many hours after school and into the night
working at their tasks.
