This is just one ex- ample of the close cooperation and friendli- ness between the faculty and the student body. For every one of the thirty-odd organiza- tions in the school, there is at least one sponsor but many have more; Junior Players have two, French Club four. These figures do not include the music groups, sports ac- tivities and various committees that are formed during the year. Above all, the faculty has the primary duty of educating the student so that lie may go on from high school well equipped either for learning or independent living. More hours than one realizes are spent at Faculty and committee meetings each month solving problems fundamental to the welfare ol young people and beneficial to our school.

This year we couldn’t get enough of our teach- ers. On January 19th, 1950, the Great Neck Teachers Association presented a Faculty Variety Show, a take off on student life. Few of us realized the latent talent of our teachers. Singers, comedians, instrumentalists, and dramatists graced our stage. As a climax to the show, eight of our loveliest male members of the faculty, decked out in gaily ruffled dresses and bonnets, displayed their shapely limbs in the can-can. The show was a success as we well remember the less serious side of our faculty. 14
