Greene, vice president
of the 5S-5900 block
club, is tranquil but has
a lively warmth that
must be rewarding to
her and those who know
her.
Mrs. Greene Is the or
ganizer of the $4,000
Block Club. She agrees
with Mrs. Wilson that the
Club is beneficial to the
property owners. 1t en-
courages the children to
keep the neighborhood
clean, and also gives them
the feeling of belonging.
Mr.. Clarence Hunter Is
certainly to be commend
ed for his fine work in
this community. This suave
gentleman is president of
this very fine block club.
When asked what gave
him the urge to join, he
replied, "The block club
had never occurred to me
until l met my neighbors.
After discovering what
fine people they were, l
felt to belong to any or
ganization with tn e m
would be an honor"
Mr.. Hunter, however
takes a special interest
in the boys Of this COM
munity. He is both Scout
Master and Cub Scout
Master for the boys in
this area.
Aside from this busy
schedule with the Block
Club and the boys, he
still finds time for the ten
mis- court. An avid lover of
tennis. Mr.. Greene is a
one-time holder of the city
title.
Unassuming Mrs. Junet-

employed by the Board of
Education for 20 years.
Mrs. Watt belongs to Be-
