"Junior Spec" is the newest ad-
dition to the Berkley High jour-
nalism department and is the off-
spring of the "Spectator," the
regular monthly schoorpaper.
Since much of the material is
- out of date by the time the "Spec-
tator" is circulated, "Junior" is
used as a supplement. Sports and
features are the only articles in
"Junior" and it is distributed free
to the students *and faculty.
The Oak Park High Student
Council elections were run on
Tuesday but the results will not
be announced until the forthcom-
ing issue of the "Eagle."

nominees for offices and seats on
the council were:

Eleventh grade: Norm Gordon. Jo-
anne Smelsey, Sharon LeVine, Judy
Gothelf, David Miller and Jerry Cole-
man; Tenth grade: Norm Gussin,
Howard Dubin, Marian Levine, Sheri
Lewis. Sue Rosenberg, Marcia Morris
and Conrad Kish; and Ninth grade:

The first pep rally in the his-
tory of Oak Park High was held
last week in the Clinton School
gym. The program included
introducing the eight cheerleaders
and football team.

By The Oak-Woodser
Now that the Young Israel
Center of Oak-Woods is built and
its maintenance is a smoothly
functioning operation, male mem-
bers of the congregation have
been relieved of pressures of or-
ganization and have turned their
attention to formation of a Men's
Club.
Preliminary meetings have
been in progress for a few weeks,
and the inaugural program of the
Men's Club will be held at 8:30
p.m., Monday, in the synagogue,
Coolidge and Allen Rd., in Oak
Park.
An early pioneer in the or-
, ganization of Men's clubs, Ira
G. Kaufman, fiirst president of
the Adas Shalom Men's Club
and a past president of the
synagogue, as well, will be the
guest speaker. Rabbi Yaakov I.
Homnick, spiritual leader of
Young Israel Center, will offer
greetings.
The group also will elect tem-
porary officers, prepare a pre-
amble or statement of principles,
assign committees to work on a
constitution, by-laws and other
preliminary business.
More than the mere formalities
of organizational business, the
group will decide in what direc-
tions it will go. One spokesman
said that its activities will in-
clude social, cultural, athletic, as
well as religious programs.
Great emphasis also is to be
placed on youth activities, he
said, with programs planned to
promote participation in- com-
munal life by children and youth.
Sponsorship of a Boy Scout troop
is anticipated.
Speaking frankly, the spokes-
man said that one of the major
purposes of the Men's Club will
be to interest men of the com-
munity in the program conducted
by the synagogue, the idea being
to increase the overall member-
ship of the congregation.
This is, of course, not a new

idea but the general purpose of
any congregational affiliate. How-
ever, by attracting younger men
in the area in the Men's Club, it
is felt they will become familiar
with and want to join in the
activities of the congregation.
It will not be necessary for
those joining the Men's Club
to be members of the syna-
gogue, the spokesman said. He
added that all men in the sub-
urban area are invited to at-
tend Monday's meeting.
Planning the new Young Israel
affiliate are Jack Ginsburg, Dave
Bodzin, Hy Lieberman, S a m
Lieberman, Ernest Citrin, Dave
Matz, Henny Littman, Dave Dorn-
bey, Dave F e l d s t e i n, Jack
Weiner, Bernad Pershin, Jerry
Heiger, Daye Richman, Leonard
Servetter and Don Klein.
Information on the Men's Club
is available by calling Ginsburg,
