Boys tennis meets today; program faces changes this season
The Boys’ Tennis Team held its first meeting this afternoon in room C103. The meeting was led by Mr. deWolf, this year’s junior varsity and varsity coach. He is replacing Ralph Ipri, who served the past 41 years as the varsity coach. For the 2011 season, deWolf seeks to bring a new attitude to the tennis program. More than once, he stressed that “tennis is not a country-club sport.” A handbook was issued to all who attended the meeting outlining the new code of conduct. This year, players who miss a practice will not be allowed to compete in a match the following day.

The newly founded Israel Awareness Club hosted its first officers’ meeting to plan the future events of the club, and specifically the details of the first official open meeting. The first order of business was to decide when that meeting should take place; Tuesday, February 9th was selected.
The officers then discussed how the meeting should be conducted. An agenda comprised of food, music, officer introductions, and a discussion of current events was composed. There was also exciting talk of bringing in a guest speaker from a well known Jewish organization.
Given that it was the first time all the officers had gotten together to discuss the specifics of the club, the meeting was very successful. Officer Jon Silverstone (’11) is “very excited about the prospect of the group and letting people know more about topics that they are passionate about but may not have the information about.”
East’s first Israel Awareness Club hopes for a good turnout and positive energy at its first meeting on February 9th. Everyone is welcome.

The Korean Culture Club (“KCC”) met today in room C206 for its first meeting of the year. Officers greeted returning and new members with an assortment of free food and soda. President Youn Jang announced many exciting events and fundraisers the club is planning for this year. The KCC plans to organize a team for the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk at the Copper River, October 25. The 3.8 mile walk will benefit the American Cancer Society. The KCC also hopes to volunteer monthly at a local nursing home which has a designated wing for Korean residents.
Although the name may deter students of other cultures to avoid the KCC meetings, the club is open to students of all ethnicities. In fact, more than 50% of today’s attending members were of cultures other than Korean. Everyone has a great time at KCC meetings. Irene Jun (’13) thinks “the first meeting went really well,” and future meetings are sure to be equally great. So if you’re interested in Korean culture, fundraising and of course free food, be sure to attend the next KCC meeting.
