WE WORK TOGETHER FOR THE GOOD OF OTHERS STUDENT COUNCIL is composed of fifteen students, fifteen alternates and a faculty adviser. To be a student councilor is really an honor, for there are only three seniors, two juniors, three sophomores, three freshman, two eighth graders and one seventh grader chosen to represent their respective classes. Mr. Hill has served as a very capable adviser for this busy group. DEMOCRACY IN ACTION The aim of the council is to bring before it any problems to be found in the high school for discussion and study. Regardless of the nature or size of the matter, thorough and thoughtful con- sideration is given and some solution is offered if possible to remove the existing condition or sit- uation. This group serves as a mediator between the administration and the student body. A system of government where differences can “live together and like it and where a man is not afraid to disagree. STUDENT DIRECTION To serve on the Student Council as a repre sentative is a great experience for all those se- lected by their home room. Each year many stu- dents gain many new ideas in self-government and share in the opportunity of putting them into practice. OFFICERS President ..... Luke Stravasnik Vice-president .....

THAT EVERY STUDENT MAY PURSUE AN EDUCATION MOLDING OF HIS CAREER AND FUTURE LIVELIHOOD MULTIPLYING THE EQUATION In order to pass Algebra, much work and study are required. This is one class that keeps most of the Freshies busy in study hall and occasionally in detention. We imagine the students have quite a job keeping their x's and y's straight. Although some of the Freshmen may find the going tough at times, Mr Townsend reports they are doing a good job. ★ ★ ★ EXPLAINING THE PROPOSITION This is one class where stu- dents settle down to deep thought. Proving stated form- ulas and equations are the main problems of this course. Anyone studying Geometry may look forward to stiff as- signments and plenty of home- work. but with it all Mr. Custer's everyday humor keeps the class enjoyable. At times we find some difficulties but after careful study and dis- cussions the fog lifts. KNOW HOW

and provide opportunity for relaxation ORCHESTRA . . . The orchestra has shown quite an improvement this year and for such betterment the musicians are grateful for the faithfulness, patience, and capable leadership given by Mr. Baker. For the past few years this group was seldom seen due to the lack of experience, but by continuous persistence the orchestra is now a worthy asset and a credit to the music department. The group generously participated in contributing a few snappy marches and stirring overtures in frequent assembly programs. It aided effectively in present- ing the Ferndale Grade School Christmas entertainment and in providing a musical touch between acts of the senior play, June Mad . Also, the orchestra contributed some of its more talented members to the jazz orchestra, known around school as the “Basketeers,'' which provided entertainment during the half at the basketball games. The highlight of the year was its excellent performance in the Spring Concert. Several members were chosen to participate in the All-County Orchestra—an achieve- ment of which to be proud. Not only do the student musicians gain valuable instruction and self-improvement but also they render a creditable service to the school and to the community. A little touch of music now and then adds abundantly to the success of the many undertakings of the school. We are justly proud of our orchestra this year. Starting as amateurs they have really developed into a group of accomplished musicians. Since practically all of the members are young underclassmen, Ferndale can look forward to a fine, worthy organization in fu- ture years. FIRST Left to Right —B Sober. | Mack. Bockfl. G. Sohrr.
