With the exception of a few, all club groups were suggested and chosen by the pupils. Those who would profit by some additional help in grammar and mathema- tics have been placed in English and mathematics review groups that meet during this period. Some of the elective activities and clubs open are: Student council, Sewing club, Co-op, dramatics, Girl Reserves, Projectors, newspaper, Hobby club, Nature club, library, ra- dio theory, office help, glee club, beginning short- hand, dance band, and in- door games. SPECIALISTS Amache Teachers The senior and junior high schools have in their faculties numerous nisei and several issei who are specialists in their fields. Foremost in this group are the two who have been awarded Doctor of Philo- sophy degrees, Dr. Takashi Terami, mathematics, and Dr. Shunzo Mitani, music. Other specialists who are helping out at the Amache schools: Mabee Andow, Frank Endo, Paul Higaki, Emiko Hinoki, John Kawata, Atsushi Kiku- chi, Yachiyo Kusunoki, Peter Masuoka, Richard Nakamura, Yoshio 0da, Tom Okamoto, John Ono, Sumi Saito, Joe Sakakura, Sa - chiko Sakakura, Bill Sato, Ben Shiomura, Tom Shimazu, Mrs. Mary Takemura, Julia Tanji, Lydia Tanji, Ed M.
