Activities For most teen-agers, high school activities are most vivid and memories of them remain longest. This is easily understood, for students can, per haps, more easily and readily express their per sonalities and talents in extra-curricular activities At Noll High students are offered many differ¬ ent types of activities. Each student chooses those which he enjoys most. His choice may be the Choral Club, Mission Society, or the Camera Club. Some delight in decorating for dances; others, in an activity like the senior play. Whatever the choice of activities may be, it constitutes a large and important part of high school life, and mem¬ ories of these experiences will linger long. Vtov C A

Student Council One of the most appreciated activities at Noll High School is the election of Student Council officers in May. A potential candidate for office must be in the upper third of his class. He may be nominated by petition or by himself. If he can fulfill these condi¬ tions, he may proceed with his campaign. During the election campaign the school walls are covered with posters and campaign slogans proclaiming the merits of the candidates and an air of excitement reigns supreme. It is a serious matter, however, no matter how much surface gaiety is involved, for the elected officers are the voice of the student body, and it is the duty of these officers to promote a better relationship between faculty and student. During the scholastic year the Student Council sponsors various activities. The Winter Formal, one of their annual projects, was sponsored by an extra committee of students in addition to the Council members. A new project this year was the Cafeteria Aides who helped keep order in the cafeteria. Due to the splendid cooperation of the students in general, this project met with great success. STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS SEATED: Louise Biancardi. Vice- Pres.; Carole Knapp, Sec.; Mary Blake. Jr. Representative; Nora Lee Hebard, Reporter. STANDING: Judy Kochis. Soph. Representative: Bill Mahoney, Sr. Representative; Steve Penny, Treas.; Larry Grodzicki, Pres.; Carole Cera, Soph. Representa¬ tive. Fr. A. J. Junk. Principal, is the Faculty Sponsor of the Council. The greatest achievement stressing the view¬ point of the Catholic girl is the new crusade for modesty, known as the S.D.A. (Supply the Demand for the Supply). This new organization was begun by a group of young girls who realized the immodesty of the typi¬ cal American woman and its effects on the world, and who were courageous enough to do something about it. These girls went to designers and manufacturers and pleaded for more modesty, especially in the dress of the teen-age girl. They begged the girls to demand and to buy only those dresses which were modest and to shun those which were not. There are members of the S.D.S. throughout the entire United States. They are not laughed at, but congratulated by the men and women of the country. These people are overwhelmed and overjoyed to discover that the girls have realized their influence on the morals of the country. This may be a man ' s world. Perhaps a man is in charge of the Church, the government, and the home; but through all his governing, he is influenced by some woman. If there are better women, there will be better men.; and if there are better men, the country will be a better place in which to live.
